Gods and Monsters (Revelation 9:1-21)
John’s visions take a truly dark turn, as gods fall from the heavens and monsters come boiling up from the deep.
John’s visions take a truly dark turn, as gods fall from the heavens and monsters come boiling up from the deep.
Just when John is expecting the seventh trumpet to sound and bring everything to an end, a mighty angel interrupts the flow and introduces yet another mystery.
John is given a tool and a task to accomplish, and it is only as he sets to work that things begin to make sense.
The seventh and last trumpet is finally sounded, the great mystery of God accomplished.
Just when it looks like the old earth has finally been removed and space cleared for a new creation…somehow the whole process starts up all over again! — in even greater detail than before.
John discovers that, though the war in heaven is finished, the war on earth is just getting started.
John’s vision zooms in to reveal the inner workings of the dragon’s war against Jesus’ Church.
As the final secret strategies of the dragon’s war are unveiled, John discovers that the whole thing is actually pretty unimaginative.
Just as the dragon’s war reaches its climactic peak, another angel pauses the action to give John a different perspective on events.
John witnesses the victorious end of the war, and prepares for the fourth and final vision cycle.
