LESSON #30
THE MIGHTY ANGEL REV 10
- MEMORY VERSE: REV 10:2
- REVIEW: AT THE MIDDLE OF THE TRIBULATION PERIOD:
- THE ANTI-CHRIST BREAKS THE PEACE TREATY AND TURNS ON THE JEWS.
- SATAN IS CAST OUT OF HEAVEN TO THE EARTH TO INDWELL THE ANTI-CHRIST.
- REVELATION 10 IS A PARENTHESIS IN THE ROUND OF JUDGMENTS AT THE MIDDLE OF THE TRIBULATION PERIOD. IT OCCURS IN HEAVEN.
- READ REV 10:1-11 THE MIGHTY ANGEL
- WHO IS THE MIGHTY ANGEL AND HOW DO WE KNOW?
- THE IDENTITY OF THE ANGEL HAS SEVERAL INTERPRETATIONS:.
- =1= IT IS POSSIBLE THIS IS AN ORDINARY ANGEL.
- =2= IT IS POSSIBLE THIS ANGEL IS GABRIEL FOR HIS NAME MEANS = STRENGTH OF GOD.
- =3= IT IS POSSIBLE THIS ANGEL IS MICHAEL FOR HIS NAME MEANS = WHO IS LIKE GOD.
- =4= IT IS POSSIBLE HE IS THE SAME ANGEL AS IN REV 8:3 THAT ACTED AS A HEAVENLY HIGH PRIEST BRINGING THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS TO GOD.
- IN REV 8 WE CONSIDERED THE POSSIBILITY THAT THIS MIGHT BE CHRIST
- =5= IT IS POSSIBLE THIS IS JESUS CHRIST. ON WHAT DO WE BASE HIS IDENTITY AS THE LORD?
- THE DIVINE CHARACTERISTICS CONNECTED WITH THIS ANGEL:
- HE IS CLOTHED WITH A CLOUD.
- THIS IS A SYMBOL OF DIVINE PRESENCE. (EXO 40:34-38)
- THERE IS A RAINBOW ON HIS HEAD.
- THIS IS THE SAME RAINBOW AS IN REV 4:3 THAT SURROUNDED THE THRONE OF GOD.
- THE RAINBOW IS A SYMBOL OF MERCY.
- HIS FACE WAS LIKE THE SUN.
- THIS IS THE LIGHT OF THE GLORY OF GOD. (REV 1:16)
- HIS FEET ARE LIKE PILLARS OF FIRE.
- THIS REPRESENTS JUDGMENT (REV 1:15)
- THERE IS A SCROLL IN HIS HAND LIKE REV 5:5.
- REMEMBER THAT THE SCROLL WITH 7 SEALS IN REV 5 REPRESENTED THE TITLE DEED TO EARTH THAT JESUS CHRIST REDEEMED. THIS SCROLL IN REV 10 IS NOW OPEN FOR HE HAS BROKEN THE SEVEN SEALS.
- THE ANGELS RIGHT FOOT IS ON THE SEA AND HIS LEFT FOOT IS ON THE LAND (2).
- THIS ILLUSTRATES GODS SOVEREIGNTY OVER ALL THE EARTH.
- THE SEA REPRESENTS = THE MASS OF HUMANITY.
- THE LAND REPRESENTS = WORLD GOVERNMENTS.
- THE MESSAGE:
- THE MESSAGE THAT THE ANGEL BRINGS WILL IMPACT THE WHOLE EARTH.
- JOHN IS TOLD TO SEAL UP WHAT THE VOICE OF GOD SAID IN THE 7 THUNDERS.
- THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE ANGEL (5-7)
- THE ANNOUNCEMENT IS BASED ON GOD’S AUTHORITY.
- HE SWEARS BY GOD WHO CREATED ALL THINGS (HEB 6:13-18)
- THE ANNOUNCEMENT IS BASED ON GOD’S TIMING.
- THERE WILL BE NO DELAY IN BRINGING ABOUT THE EVENTS GOD HAS PLACED IN THE LITTLE BOOK.
- THE ANNOUNCEMENT IS BASED ON GOD’S PROMISE.
- THE MYSTERY WILL BE FINISHED.
- WHAT MYSTERY DID GOD DECLARE TO HIS SERVANTS AND THE PROPHETS?
- GODS MYSTERY GOES THROUGH ALL THE BIBLE FROM GEN 3:15 FORWARD. IT IS GODS PLAN OF REDEMPTION THROUGH JESUS CHRIST TO ESTABLISH CHRIST’S KINGDOM ON THE EARTH.
- THE ANGELS VOICE:
- HIS VOICE IS LIKE A LIONS ROAR. (3)
- THE LIONS ROAR IS READY TO DEVOUR IN JUDGMENT WITH THE WRATH OF CHRIST.
- THE VOICE OF THE SEVEN THUNDERS = THIS IS THE SEVEN FOLD VOICE OF GOD.
- REMEMBER THAT THE NUMBER 7 IS THE NUMBER OF COMPLETION OR PERFECTION OF GOD.
- READ PSA 29:3-9
| PSALM 29: | SIGNIFICANCE: |
| 1. THE VOICE OF THE LORD IS UPON THE WATERS…THUNDERETH (3) | THE LORD SPEAKS TO YOU IN A LOUD VOICE DURING TIMES OF TROUBLE. THE CONDITIONS TO HEAR HIM? –YOU MUST KNOW HOW TO RECOGNIZE HIS VOICE. –YOU MUST LISTEN. |
| 2. THE VOICE OF THE LORD IS POWERFUL (4) | 2. GODS DIRECTION CAN OVERCOME CONFLICTING DIRECTION FROM YOUR OWN SELFISH DESIRES. |

| 7. THE VOICE OF THE LORD MAKES THE HINDS TO CALVE (9) | 7. GODS DIRECTION SHOULD CAUSE YOU TO FEAR THE LORD. YOU SHOULD HAVE SUCH AN AWESOME RESPECT FOR THE LORD THAT YOU OBEY HIS DIRECTION. |
- IN THIS PSALM DAVID USES A STORM TO DEPICT GODS POWERFUL PRESENCE ON THIS EARTH. IN FACT, EVERY VIOLENT ACT OF NATURE IS REPRESENTED IN THIS PSALM:
- TIDAL WAVE (3) THUNDER (3) LIGHTNING (5) WHIRLWIND (6) VOLCANIC ERUPTION (7) EARTHQUAKE (8) TORNADO (9) FLOOD (10)
- GOD IS IN CONTROL OF ALL NATURAL PHENOMENA ON THIS EARTH AND OFTEN SPEAKS THROUGH THESE EVENTS:
- AS A WARNING
- AS JUDGMENT
- THE TRIBULATION PERIOD WILL CONTAIN THESE NATURAL EVENTS. IT WILL BE GODS VOICE BRINGING WARNING AND JUDGMENT.
- THE SEVENTH ANGEL
- THIS IS THE ANGEL THAT SOUNDED THE SEVENTH TRUMPET
- CHRISTIANS WHO BELIEVE IN THE RAPTURE AT THE MIDDLE OF THE TRIBULATION BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE RAPTURE TRUMPET SOUNDING.
- APPLICATION OF THE ANGEL’S MESSAGE TO JOHN (8-11)
- JOHN’S STRANGE ACTION RECALLS EZEKIEL’S RESPONSE.
- READ EZE 2:9-3:3
- WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE OF JOHNS REACTION?
- THE MESSAGE CONTAINED LAMENTATIONS, MOURNING, AND WOE, BUT IT WAS SWEET TO THE TASTE.
- EATING THE WORDS = A COMPLETE ASSIMILATION OF THE MESSAGE OF GOD.
- THE MESSAGE BECOMES A PART OF THE PROPHET WHO BEARS A HEAVY RESPONSIBILITY:
- THE MESSAGE MUST BE GIVEN TO THE PEOPLE..
- THE MESSAGE MUST BE ACCURATE
- THE MESSAGE INVOLVES SUFFERING AND SACRIFICE THAT ARE NECESSARY TO BRING GOD’S MESSAGE.
- THE BITTER
- GOD’S PEOPLE WILL SUFFER GREATLY IN THE TRIBULATION.
- JUDGMENT ON UNBELIEVING HUMAN FLESH WILL NOT BE PLEASANT TO SEE.
- THE SWEET
- TRUTH IS SWEET.
- THE COMING OF OUR LORD AND HIS KINGDOM.
