The Wrath of the Lamb

Jesus' Fulfillment of Scripture
Jesus and the Davidic Covenant
Worthy Is the Lamb

Revelation 6:12-17

The Message

^12-17 I watched while he ripped off the sixth seal: a bone-jarring earthquake, sun turned black as ink, moon all bloody, stars falling out of the sky like figs shaken from a tree in a high wind, sky snapped shut like a book, islands and mountains sliding this way and that. And then pandemonium, everyone and his dog running for cover—kings, princes, generals, rich and strong, along with every commoner, slave or free. They hid in mountain caves and rocky dens, calling out to mountains and rocks, “Refuge! Hide us from the One Seated on the Throne and the wrath of the Lamb! The great Day of their wrath has come—who can stand it?”

For Reflection

The book, Revelation, is difficult.  It is so full of mystery and mysterious images written in a time and culture we can barely understand. The book is interpreted in multiple ways, but, I prefer to see it as an allegory of a spiritual path and ongoing struggle. The realization of our inhumanity apart from God confronts us in frightening ways.  Seeing ourselves in the God's mirror causes us to hide from the hideous reflection. Only those who are willing to be transformed in the image of God are able to stand it.

Pray

that the realization of who you are without God will cause you to turn to a new mind in God. Pray that all who see themselves in your God transformed reflection will question their Godless paths.
