e312 Distract Me Jesus, Lead Her Quietly, If You Ain't First You're Third Class by Paul George

If you get a metatarsal stress reaction, you might be confused for a number of reasons. First You are probably trying to figure out whether or not it is really just a subtle stress fracture or, if it is something more ominous?  Second, you are also probably trying to figure out how to make the pain go away as fast as possible so you can get back to running.  Last night I was talking to a physician who referred a runner who had a fourth metatarsal stress reaction.  She wanted to know if it really was a good idea or a bad idea for her to take something like ibuprofen or some other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug which we call NSAIDs. Should I take NSAIDs when I have a fourth metatarsal stress reaction?  Well, that is a great question and that is what we're talking about today on the Doc On The Run Podcast. 

Sunday July 28, 2024 Preliminary considerations. First: You will not fulfill the commissions without the personal desire to know God, love God, and love all mankind. Agape love loves his enemies and therefore all. for full notes: https://www.cgtruth.org/index.php?proc=msg&sf=vw&tid=3035

Pély Barna a Magyar Aranyérdem kereszttel kitüntetett Artisjus díjas énekes-gitáros-dalszerző. Barna több, mint 20 éve a magyar könnyűzenei élet egyik sokszínű, és meghatározó alakja. A Magyar Arany Érdemkereszttel kitüntetett Artisjus díjas énekes-gitáros-dalszerzőt a nyitottság és energikusság jellemzi, előadásmódjában és munkáiban a blues, a soul, és a funk alapvető stílusjegyeit ötvözi. 2017 óta szólókarrieje építésén dolgozik. Az elmúlt években Magyarországon kívül jó néhány országban adott koncertet. (Ausztria, Németország, Belgium, Luxemburg, Hollandia, Olaszország, Norvégia, Dánia, Svédország, Svájc, Spanyolország, Szlovénia, Szlovákia, Románia, Lengyelország, Montenegro, Marokkó, Indonézia, Kazahsztán, Üzbegisztán, Amerikai Egyesült Államok) Kiemelném a Hard Rock Café koncerteket: Oslo, Antwerpen, Innsbruck, Jakarta, Almati. Illetve meghívást kapott az Almatiban és Taskentben megrendezésre kerülő Jazz fesztiválokra.  17 évig pedig a United zenekar („Végső Vallomás”, „Hófehér Jaguár”, „Keserű méz”...) frontembere volt. 6 évig dolgozott pop-rock produkciójával, a B the First-tel. 2003-2006 zsűriként, 2010-ben szakmai tanácsadóként résztvevője volt a Tv2 Megasztár című énekes tehetségkutató műsorának. 2007-2017 a Kodolányi János Főiskola Művészeti Tanszékének Jazz-ének Szakvezetője. 2016-ban a Dal 2016 (Eurovíziós dalverseny) legjobb 18 dala közé jutott a B the First - You told me that you loved me című dalával. A Sztárban sztár meg egy kicsi zsűritagja. 2020-ban a Dal 2020 zsűritagja. A tv2 Nicsak ki vagyok című műsorának Elefánt jelmezbe bújt énekese, és a Sztárban Sztár versenyzője. A Nemzeti Tehetségprogram fővédnöke. 2021-ben a köztársasági elnök sikeres előadóművészetéért és a fiatal zenei tehetségek támogatása érdekében végzett munkája elismeréseként a Magyar Arany Érdemkereszt polgári tagozata kitüntetést adományozta neki. A Nemzeti Tehetségprogram egyik mentora. Ezen az energikus koncerten egy gitár, egy lábdob szerű stomp box, és egy looper segítségével válik egyszemélyes zenekarrá. Koncertjeit saját magyar és angol nyelvű szerzeményei mellett néhány feldolgozással fűszerezi. Természetesen zenekaros felállás esetén zenésztársaival kiegészülve hatalmas bulit csapnak a színpadon. 2019.január 9-én megjelent a legújabb szólólemeze “Blue Heart” címmel, ami kizárólag új dalokat tartalmaz. A lemezhez a külföldi és a magyarországi turnéin begyűjtött élményei adtak inspirációt. És arról, hogy miért szólóban készült az anyag, azt mondta korábban: „úgy érzem, hogy szólóban azokat az utakat tudom bejárni, amiket zenekarral nem. Gyerekkorom óta zenekarokban zenéltem, így nem volt lehetőségem megtapasztalni például, hogy milyen, amikor egyedül kell eldöntenem valamit. Úgy éreztem, ki kell próbálnom, hogy mire vagyok képes egyedül a színpadon.” Pély Barna énekstílusa, gitárjátéka, dalai, és „szlogenjei” méltán teszik generációja egyik kikerülhetetlen zenészévé, és amit biztos nem mondhatunk el róla: hogy ”Ez nem jött át!”.

"There is no room in love for fear. Well-formed love banishes fear. Since fear is crippling, a fearful life—fear of death, fear of judgment—is one not yet fully formed in love. We, though, are going to love—love and be loved. First we were loved, now we love. He loved us first.”1 John 4:17-18 (MSG)Now, I declare this promise over you:There is no room in love for fear. Well-formed love banishes fear. Since fear is crippling, a fearful life – fear of death, fear of judgment – is one not yet fully formed in love. YOU though are going to love – love and be loved. First YOU were loved, now YOU love. He loved YOU first.Now, you can declare this promise over yourself as often as you like:I have so much well-formed love it banishes all fear of death and judgment. I am going to love – love and be loved. First I was loved, now I love. He loved me first.Connected Blog Posthttps://kingdomhappyhour.com/love-banishes-fear/Sign up for the Daily Emailhttps://kingdomhappyhour.com

Will Clemente is the Lead Insights Analyst at Blockware. He has quickly become one of my favorite writers on all things Bitcoin, including deep dives on various on-chain analytics. This week, my brothers Joe and John filled in for me and spoke to Will for our weekly Bitcoin On-Chain Analytics. In this conversation, they discuss the current state of Bitcoin, if we've hit the bottom of the market low, and what needs to happen for Bitcoin to bounce back. Will joins us every Friday on "The Best Business Show." To see the video with the corresponding charts that Will references throughout the interview, go to the Anthony Pompliano YouTube Channel. ======================= Today's episode is brought to you by Coinbase Wallet, your key to the world of crypto.

In today's episode, I break down Bitcoin On-Chain Analytics. I'm usually joined by WiIl Clemente on Saturdays to discuss his research through articulating his weekly newsletter. Unfortunately, Will was unable to join us this week.

Hit it with a hammer.Done. If only it were that easy. In reality, the cycle of emotional and spiritual abuse feels like a freight train rushing down the tracks of your everyday. An unstoppable force. And if you stand in its way, you'll be run down. A sad little pancake beholden to the destructive patterns you've existed in since…who knows when. My dear. You forgot about two things.First: You can't stop that train. Second: You don't need to stop that train to heal and be free and come into your power. Remember the handle thingy on the side of the tracks, controlling the railroad switch? Yup. Start there. In this episode: A heart-warming tale of what the Flying Free podcast is accomplishing in the lives of survivors How many nickels I theoretically have and why (very important) What love has to do with breaking cycles (I've got a great, but super old, example) The reason giraffes refuse to have short necks (a purely scientific explanation) Why authentic growth is the opposite of abusive control  Read or download the transcript hereIf you are a Christian woman who thinks you may be in an emotionally destructive marriage, learn more at https://flyingfreenow.comI'll send you (free!) the first chapter of my book, Is It Me?

When it comes to burnout, there are two things I think that really hold us back. The first is not always being able to tell when we're approaching a burn out. The second is re-integrating yourself back into work once you've taken a few days off from a burn out.This episode details a recent burnout I had. I was rapidly approaching one and not realizing how close I was, until Monday hit and I woke up completely and totally fried. Sound familiar?What we talk about constantly in entrepreneur culture is hustle, grind, productivity,  and bettering ourselves / our business. What is not often talked about is rest, taking time, and recharging what is so rapidly depleted in the hustle. Sometimes, the only way to move forward, is to first hit the pause button. As I am reintegrating myself back into being a productive version of 'me', I am struggling with the battle between: 'Do I really feel better?" and "I can't afford to not  feel better."My battle this morning was, after taking the week off, do I go and Kickbox? Getting up and going was hard. But what would have been even harder would have been letting myself skip it, regretting that decision, feeling lazy, and leading into a pattern of letting myself "off the hook" throughout the rest of the day.When you're in a season of hustle, turned into a need to rest and recharge, what's next? There is no "ultimate guide to recovering from your crash and burn."Here are my biggest takeaways from my most recent experience with burnout, I hope they're helpful to you!First: You are the only one that can predict and prevent your own burnout. While you may have people that love you and care for you, they can't always see everything going on in your current situation. Only you can. Second: Acknowledge the current season you are in and be ok with doing "good enough" work for right now.Third: You will get through this season, trust that you will pull yourself out of it. That you will always be able to tread water and keep yourself from drowning.You're amazing, friend.

Potter Revisited Episode #4 | Exposition: Magic and History Aka Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Chapter 4 “The Keeper Of The Keys”   We are disgusting  Why does Hagrid have so many keys? Is Vernon's rifle legal? First “You look like your dad, but you have your mother's eyes” moment  Hagrid drinking… our favourite drunk uncle Petunia's jealousy comes to an ugly head So much information dropped in one chapter - is it too much for children to follow? Our first introduction to the Big Baddy - Voldemort Meeting Hagrid - our first real connection to the Wizarding World before Ron Was Hagrid too combative when meeting the Dursley's? Did he know about the mistreatment? Was Hagrid (also Dumbledore) naive in thinking Harry would be told about Hogwarts, etc? How exactly does Hagrid do magic? Fun wordplay with Hagrid being a “giant of a man”  Why send Hagrid to collect Harry over someone else? Hagrid is the #1 Dumbledore fan, Tori and Shay are not a part of the club.    Music:   Shelter Song by Alexander Nakarada (www.serpentsoundstudios.com) Licensed under Creative Commons BY Attribution 4.0 License https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/   Follow Us:  Facebook  Twitter Instagram Youtube

Jeff Heggie Daily Success Strategies 296: Become a Confident Athlete https://jeffheggie.com/confidentathlete All of your life you've been taught WHAT TO THINK. It's time you learn HOW TO THINK. You're in charge of your mind. You can help it grow by using it the right way Just learning about the growth mindset can cause a big shift in the way people think about themselves and their lives. John, a collegiate student athlete, shared this when he learned about the fixed mindset and growth mindset: “As a student athlete I had a fixed mindset. Winning was everything and learning did not enter the picture. However, after [learning about fixed and growth mindsets] I realized that I did not have a good mindset. I've been working on learning while I compete, under the realization that if I can continually improve, even in games, I will become a much better athlete.” John's internal monologue use to be: Win.

In this Wellbeing podcast, sponsored by medical protection, Abi Rimmer and Cat Chatfield talk to Susanna Petche and Reina Popat, GPs and members of First You - an organisation of healthcare workers, promoting wellbeing in the NHS. They discuss why it is that clinicians learn to subjugate their own wellbeing to their patients', and the ways in which working in the healthcare system perpetuate that. They discuss how systemic change can come through individual action, and how peers can band together to support each other.

As we know, our efforts are not what produce results, they are a tax we must pay. If we honestly believe that, it will make a difference in the way we make those efforts and in our attitude after we have made them. Sometimes, Hashem gives us extra chizuk in this area by showing us so clearly that it was not our efforts which accomplished. Rather it was only Him. A woman who has been trying to have a baby for many years just informed me that, baruch Hashem, she was blessed with a baby boy. After many long and painful years of shattered hopes and failed treatments, she finally received her long anticipated yeshua . Something was different about this last treatment, which proved to be the one she was hoping for. Everything went wrong. The timing and medications were wrong, there were complications, and it seemed to be a wasted treatment. The doctor told her, “There is not really a chance that it worked and, hopefully, the next one we’ll do better.” Lo and behold, this was the treatment that finally worked. Hashem showed her and the doctor that it is not really the treatments that produce results; it’s Him. He decided the time was right and He brought this woman and her husband their little miracle to, b’ezrat Hashem to raise in the ways of Torah and mitzvot. If we are able to make a hishtadlut , then it is our obligation to, but if we are not able to, then we are exempt from it and we can fully rely on Hashem to help us. A woman told me, her husband passed away some years ago and left her a real estate business to run. Baruch Hashem, she has been doing well with it. But when Covid hit last March, her business began suffering. She has also not been able to collect a lot of the rent money she is owed and still has to continue paying the mortgages. This past week, she received a bill that she had to pay for about $4,500 and she was down to her last $4,000. It was a Wednesday and the money needed to be paid by the end of the week. Even if she could somehow find some extra money to pay with, she would still be left penniless and unable to make Shabbat food for her family. There was no hishtadlut for her to make at this point, and so she fully relied on Hashem. On Wednesday night, she poured out her heart to Him. She mentioned how He has always been there for her in the past, and she’s hoping that He’ll take care of this now as well. The next morning on Thursday, she randomly selected a short emunah recording on a hot-line to hopefully give her chizuk . The recording was about a yeshiva that was out of funds and couldn’t even afford lunch for the students. The rabbi who runs the yeshiva told the cook, “Don’t worry there is still some time. Hashem has always been there for us in the past and He’ll be here for us as well.” Shortly before lunch time, a driver pulled up to the yeshiva to deliver an envelope that he found on the floor addressed to them. It was a check for $1,800. The rabbi immediately went to cash it and bought pizza for the entire yeshiva that day. The woman received chizuk from this clip and, once again, prayed from the bottom of her heart to Hashem to help in her situation. That same afternoon, when she came home and opened the mail, she saw a check saying “Tax Refund” $1,900. She immediately turned to Hashem and said, “Thank You! Thank You! First You gave me a story where I got chizuk from the yeshiva getting $1,800 and then You gave me $1,900, a hundred more than them.” She paid her bill and had plenty left over to buy food for Shabbat. Our efforts are just motions. If we can do them, then we do. And if not, then we don’t need to. The main thing is to know that Hashem is always in change, and to act and pray with that emunah.

Introduction Turn in your Bibles to Revelation 10 to continue our study in the book of Revelation. The word revelation means unveiling; it pulls the veil back between the physical and spiritual world as no other book of the Bible does. As we peer into the invisible spiritual world, we see more than we could have conceived with our unaided imaginations. Certainly the most significant invisible reality we see by the book of Revelation is the glory of the triune God — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. God the Father seated on a throne of eternal glory. God the Son, Jesus Christ, pictured as a lion and as a lamb, or as a high priest walking among seven golden lamp stands. God the Spirit pictured as a seven-fold light blazing, shining, a lamp stand with the fire of holiness. No book in the Bible so powerfully reveals the hidden nature of the triune God as does Revelation. But that is not all the book of Revelation unveils about the invisible spiritual realms. For there are awesome created beings that we would never know about, what they are like, if it were not for this book. That includes beings we commonly call angels. Today we will encounter through the text an angel that I believe still lives and is every bit as glorious and powerful now as he was 2000 years ago, who encountered the Apostle John to give him a commission. This encounter will give us a broader sense of the universe in which we really live, invisible realms that we did not know were around us at every moment. It will give us a better ability to live for the glory of God in this physical world. Let us set the context. The Apostle John was the human instrument for the book of Revelation. He was in exile on the island of Patmos for the testimony of Jesus. Patmos is a tiny, rocky, deserted island off the coast of modern day Turkey. On that barren island, Jesus Christ communicated a revelation of himself to John. John heard the voice of Christ, and he saw a door standing open in the heavenly realms. Christ called on him to ascend from earth to go through that doorway into the heavenly realms. He was empowered by the Spirit to do that, and he was promised that he would be told things about the future. “I will show you what must take place after this.” [Revelation 4:1] As he went through the doorway, the first thing he saw was a throne in heaven with someone seated on it. That throne, the throne of Almighty God, is the central and most important reality of the universe; it shows the glory of God, who is seated there. He is celebrated there in Revelation 4 as the glorious Creator of the universe, all things visible and invisible. He is worshiped there by twenty-four elders seated on their thrones, and by four living creatures, and by 100 million angels. Revelation 4 celebrates God the Creator. In God’s right hand, as he sits on this throne, is a scroll sealed with seven seals. A mighty angel calls out, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” [Revelation 5:2] No one is found worthy until Jesus Christ appears. He is portrayed as the Lion of the tribe of Judah and also as a lamb looking as if it had been slain. He takes the scroll from the right hand of him who sits on the throne. When he does so, cascading worship erupts in heaven for Christ the Redeemer, who by his blood purchased people for God from every tribe, language, people, and nation. In Revelation 6 he breaks open the seals one at a time. As he does, judgments come on the earth. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse ride on the surface of the earth bringing judgments and suffering. Martyrs, people who have been slaughtered for the testimony of Christ, cry out for justice and vengeance. The sixth seal brings the end of the physical universe as we know it — the sun, moon, and stars falling, and every mountain and island removed from its place. When the sixth seal is opened, the inhabitants of the earth flee from the wrath of God, looking for a refuge. They cry to the mountains and to the hills, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?” [Revelation 6:16-17] It is an incredible question, and something that we need to heed now. Where will there be a refuge from the wrath of God? Revelation 7 seems to answer that question. The refuge is Christ. Those who flee to Christ, including 12,000 who are sealed from each of the 12 tribes of Israel, and a multitude greater than anyone could count from every tribe, language, people, and nation, seem to be the answer to the question “Who shall be able to stand?” We who are sinners will be redeemed and saved by the shed blood of Christ. We will stand fully forgiven in white robes celebrating the salvation that God alone can give. The Lamb breaks open the seventh seal as Revelation 8 begins, which seems to contain seven trumpets judgments. They start to flow, bringing a level of suffering and judgment on earth such as we can scarcely imagine. The first four trumpets in Revelation 8 are terrifying judgments on the ecology of the earth: on the green vegetation, burning up all the green grass, a third of the trees, and a third of the earth; on the oceans, turning a third of them into blood and killing a third of all the aquatic creatures in the ocean; on a the fresh water, turning a third to poison so that people cannot drink it; and on the sun and the moon and the stars, reducing their light by a third. In Revelation 9, the fifth and sixth trumpets unleash a demonic horde, which billows from the nether regions, coming up out of a shaft from deep in the earth. It is a demonic assault on the human race likened to a plague of locusts and the attack of scorpions. People are in agony for five months, crying out for death, which will elude them. This is followed by an invasion of a demonic army, either of humans incited by demons, or actual demons, 200 million strong, bringing death to one-third of earth’s population. We come in Revelation 10 to a dramatic pause in the action before the seventh trumpet sounds, similar to the pause in Revelation 7 between the sixth and seventh seal. A respite is needed; the judgments are overwhelming in Revelation 8 and 9. John has a vision of a mighty angel with a little scroll. He comes to recommission John to speak future words of sweetness and bitterness that we desperately need to hear and eat; the angel’s message connects, with the two witnesses in Revelation 11, as we will see. Revelation 10 contains the timeless witness of the Word of God from the angel through John, as he testifies by writing it down. Then the two witnesses provide a temporal verification in space and time, proclaiming the truth of God. That is the combination of truth flowing from God, through Scripture and through verbal human witness to the generations that need to hear it. The Mighty Angel Described What are Angels? We begin looking now at Revelation 10:1-4 with a description of this mighty angel. Before we do that, let’s say a few words about angels. What is an angel? The word “angel” is a transliteration of the Greek word “angelos,” which is a messenger; here meaning someone who comes with a message from God. But they do more than deliver messages. Angels are created spiritual beings, different from human beings in that they have no body, no physical existence. They have no birth, do not age, and do not die. They have no flesh and blood; they are spirits. There are good angels who serve God and wicked angels called demons who serve their king, Satan. Angels are active throughout the Old Testament, but their activity is greatly enhanced and focused on in the New Testament, even clearer and more dramatic. For example, angels were present at the birth of Christ in Bethlehem. The shepherds were outside the city of Bethlehem, watching their sheep at night, and an angel of the Lord appeared. The glory of the Lord shone around, and the shepherds were terrified. The angel brought the message to the shepherds of the birth of Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. “Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.” [Luke 2:11] Then suddenly, with the angel, a huge army of angels appears, praising God, glorifying him, and saying, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom God's favor rests.” [Luke 2:14] Angels were there at the beginning of Christ’s earthly life, and then they were there at the end. The angels came down to the tomb where Jesus had been buried. The appearance of one was overwhelming, like lightning with clothes as white as light. When the Roman guards at Jesus’ tomb saw him, they were so terrified of him that they shook and became like dead men. The angel rolls back the mighty boulder from the mouth of the tomb and sits on it. He says to the women that are there to finish the burial rites of Jesus, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, He has risen!” [Luke 24:5] Angels are there at the beginning and the end of Christ’s life, and even as Jesus ascends to heaven. His apostles watching him ascend higher and higher into the clouds. God dispatches an angel to send them back to Jerusalem to wait for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. “This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.” [Acts 1:11] So we see angels throughout the New Testament, in the book of Acts as well as other places. Hebrews 1:14 says, “Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?” They serve us in many invisible ways that we cannot understand. Benefits of Studying Angels in Scripture What are the benefits of studying angels in Scripture? I am a verse-by-verse expositor. The main idea from a text is the main point of my sermons. Angels are hardly ever the main point of any sermon text except today. We have the opportunity to zero in on angels to understand them. Why we should study them? First, we should know how protected we are by angelic warriors, that angels fight and do other things for us in ways we do not see and can hardly imagine. We need to be aware of that. Second, it helps us to know more of the complexity of the true universe, both the spiritual and the physical in which we live. These beings were created by God because he wanted them to exist, and they glorify God in marvelous ways. We should be joyful about that. Third, we study angels so that we can imitate their obedience to God. It says in the Lord’s prayer, Matthew 6:9-10 “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Who does God’s will in heaven but the angels? For us to study their prompt obedience and their eagerness and zeal to obey everything that God tells them to do, their willingness to serve in every way, they are role models for us in serving God. Danger of Focusing on Angels However, there are dangers in studying angels as well. We human beings are constantly drawn after created beings in an idolatrous manner. I believe every false religion and every cult in the world has had evil angels behind them, supernatural forces that have set up those false religions. It is dangerous to focus too much on angels and supernatural beings. I am fascinated by artistic renditions of angels, like the fat little baby in a diaper with bow and arrow, or in current popular culture, beautiful women with long hair. Your angel ornaments, even from Christian suppliers, probably look like that. But angels in the Bible, if they are given any of human form, are pictured as young men and warrior types, like in our chapter today. It is best not to use our imaginations to draw artistic renditions of what angels look like. If that causes you to rethink some of your ornaments, that is between you and God. Angels are supernatural beings that are often depicted as surrounded with awesome displays of supernatural light; therefore people are tempted to worship them. Even the Apostle John is tempted twice at the end of the book of Revelation to fall down and worship an angel that was interacting with him. Revelation 19:10 “At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, ‘Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God!’” Paul specifically warns against the worship of angels in Colossians 2:18. Satan and his demons take advantage of this human tendency to worship angels; he is said in 2 Corinthians 11:14 to “masquerade as an angel of light.” Much of the new age mysticism probably stems from spiritual experiences such as supernatural encounters with fallen angels, or demons. People can focus too much on angels and forget they are only created beings, servants like us as, the angel tells John. To spend a huge amount of time thinking about angels is misplaced focus. How Are Angels Especially Active in Revelation? How are angels especially active in the book of Revelation? 73 of the 188 references to angels in the New Testament are in the book of Revelation. They are extremely active in this book. Since Revelation is all about the unveiling of the invisible spiritual realms of the future, it is not surprising that angels figure so prominently. Angels are depicted around the throne of God; their home base is there, worshiping God. They delight in the worship of God. But they are also active in unleashing wrath on planet earth. One angel in Revelation 8 takes live coals from the altar of God, puts it in a golden censer, and hurls it on the earth. In Revelation 8 and 9, angels sound the seven trumpets, bringing the terrifying judgements on earth. In Revelation 12, we will see the battle between good angels and evil angels in the heavenly realms, and the ultimate king of the evil angels, Satan. Revelation 16 shows the angels pouring out the bowls of God’s wrath on the earth, and celebrating the justice of God in, for example, turning water into blood because of the shed blood of God’s servants. God has given them blood to drink as they deserve. “You are right for doing this.” They delight in this display of God’s justice. So they are actively involved in the unfolding events of the book of Revelation. Perhaps the most important role of these heavenly messengers is to bring the Word of God from God to prophets and apostles to communicate to us. Angels are active mediators of that message frequently. In Revelation 1:1 it says, “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John.” The angel was in between Jesus and John, delivering the book of Revelation. We learn in the New Testament that the entire law of Moses was mediated through angels. Angels often carry messages from God to the prophets. Probably the clearest parallel to Revelation 10 is Daniel chapter 10. Daniel seeks insight and wisdom from God about the future of the Jewish nation. He is praying and fasting and seeking God. God dispatches an angel to bring him the answer. Daniel 10:5-8 says, “I looked up and there before me was a man dressed in linen, with a belt of the finest gold around his waist. His body was like chrysolite, his face like lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude [an awesome display of an angel]. I, Daniel, was the only one who saw the vision; the men with me did not see it, but such terror overwhelmed them that they fled and hid themselves. So I was left alone, gazing at this great vision; I had no strength left, my face turned deathly pale and I was helpless.” This angel in Daniel 10 was dispatched by God to answer Daniel’s prayer for wisdom about the future. He says in Daniel 10:14, “Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to come.” The angel’s job was to bring an answer to the prophet about the future. The angel in Daniel 10 had the same function that this angel has in Revelation 10, to bring God’s word to a man, a prophet, to proclaim it to the whole world. The angel’s appearance in Daniel 10 was so overpowering that Daniel was knocked to the ground. In Daniel 10:16-17, “I said to the one standing before me, ‘I am overcome with anguish because of the vision, my lord, and I am helpless. How can I, your servant, talk with you, my lord? My strength is gone and I can hardly breathe.’” He was so overwhelmed by the presence of this glorious being that he could not breathe — he was on the ground. This should give us some sense of the overpowering strength and might of the angels of God; so also this one in Revelation 10. How is this Angel Described? Look how he is described in chapter 10:1-3: “Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like fiery pillars. He was holding a little scroll, which lay open in his hand. He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, and he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion.” Here is another mighty angel, like some of the other angels John has already seen in his vision. John describes him as mighty, a sense that he is a warrior, powerful, ready to fight, strong, able to do anything God commands. He is depicted as coming down from heaven to earth — meaning John is to be back on earth in his vision after having ascended through the doorway, signaling a reset — to bring a message to John. He is robed in a cloud. Often in the Bible clouds represent judgment from God. In Psalm 18, God is depicted as coming with the clouds of heaven, with wrath coming out of the clouds. Often in Scripture gathering clouds represent the unleashing of a storm of God’s wrath. Yet there is also a rainbow above the head of the angel, which hearkens back to Noah’s flood, with the rainbow as a sign of God’s covenant never again to destroy the world by a flood. We think of the words “In wrath remember mercy.” [Habakkuk 3:2] With all of this display of wrath, there is still the sign of God’s mercy. His face is like the sun, shining with radiance of God, like the angel the night that Jesus was born in Bethlehem in a brilliant heavenly light. His legs are like fiery pillars, like the pillar of fire or the pillar of cloud that led the Israelites, especially at night. That pillar of fire kept the Egyptian army with all of its power and chariots away from the people of God and protected them, and then led them through the dark path, through the Red Sea. It is a picture of death and then resurrection on the other side when the sun came up. They moved down across the Red Sea then back up and out, a picture of death and resurrection. The fiery pillar gave the light that they need to make it through the Red Sea. These pillars of fire are the angel’s legs. The Little Scroll He is holding a little scroll which lay open in his hand. The scroll is the point and focus of this whole vision, the reason for the angel coming from heaven to earth. It is called “little” based on the Greek word for scroll with a slight grammatical twist. Perhaps it looks little compared to the massive size of the angel, but of the two, the scroll will have a bigger impact on redemptive history than the mighty angel. That is the power of the Word of God. It is like comparing a tiny little acorn to a vast forest of oak trees that would come from that acorn: though it looks small initially, it will have a massive impact. It lay open in the angel’s hand. Some have concluded that this might be the scroll that was sealed with seven seals, but I do not know that we can certainly connect the two. On it is writing from God; it lays open so that John can read it. This shows God’s willingness to reveal things to us. He has some things to show us, to tell us. Daniel was told to seal several of his visions for the future. Their meanings would be hidden until the right time. Now, this is a very important idea. The book of Revelation is written in difficult language; it is hard to interpret and there are many different ways to interpret it. God intended it that way. He could have written more clearly if he chose to. He intended to write a message that would be immediately relevant for 20 centuries of church history but with particular details relevant only for the final generation. It is amazing how he does both. Every generation, not knowing whether they are the final generation, can read it, but there are yet future things, details that have yet to be revealed. We will see that here in this chapter. The scroll lying open is that which God is willing to reveal to us right now. Daniel was told, for example, in Daniel 12:4, “But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end.” Daniel did not understand the meaning, but he was told it was not for him but for a distant generation. In this open scroll before John lies the revelation of mysteries that God is intending to grant now to his people. But there are future insights that will come only at the end of the world. Verse 7 says, “But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.” In those days, God will reveal more. How? Not through a 67th book of the Bible but by current events that line up with the language of Scripture. It will not be clear to us unless we are in that final generation living through it. When you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel then you should do this. When you see this current event happen, you will know that Daniel has been fulfilled, and you should run for your life. Of this sequence, God is revealing some things to us now and some things only then. The angel takes a mighty stance on the surface of the earth in verses 2-3, “He planted his right foot on the sea and his left foot on the land, and he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion.” The stance is one of a mighty warrior. He cannot be moved from his position, as though taking his stand on the battlefield. He plants one foot on the dry land and one foot into the sea. John actually tells us that his right foot is on the sea and his left foot is on the land. Why does he designate that? I have no idea. I always invite people to give me their opinion but that is all it will be, opinion. Regardless of why we are given that information, this stance gives a sense of the awesome power of the angel. Even more, though, the message he brings encompasses every realm that God made. It will affect all the creatures in the heavens, for the angel’s head reaches up to the clouds and his face is like the sun. It will affect the earth because his left foot is there. It will affect the sea because his right foot is there, with the word of God lying open in his hand, small though it may seem, will have a huge impact on all those realms. It says in Psalm 33:6, “By the word of the LORD were the heavens made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth” and as Jesus said in Matthew 24:35, “Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.” The angel’s voice is likened to the roar of a lion. Often when God brings his message, like at Mount Sinai, he gives overwhelming radiant light and terrifying sound so that we take the message of God seriously. The Seven Thunders and the Limited Revelation In verses 3-4, we have the seven thunders: “…he gave a loud shout like the roar of a lion. When he shouted, the voices of the seven thunders spoke. And when the seven thunders spoke, I was about to write; but I heard a voice from heaven say, ‘Seal up what the seven thunders have said and do not write it down.’” We do not know what the seven thunders are, nor do we know what they said. Obviously, they spoke intelligible words that John understood and could have written down or he would not need to be forbidden from writing them down. There is real information from the seven thunders. But the words are sealed up. He is not allowed to reveal these things that we could know but God does not want us to know yet. Why? Perhaps knowing them would affect the flow of events in ways God does not choose. For example, Jacob thought his son Joseph was ripped to shreds by wild animals because his brothers who had sold him into slavery brought back his colored robe with blood on it. For many years, Jacob was under the misunderstanding that his firstborn son from Rachel was dead, but he was not. God could have revealed to him that his son was alive and flourishing as second-in-command in Egypt, but Jacob would have gone early, perhaps before he got to that position, to buy him out of slavery from Potiphar. He did not know until God was ready to reveal that his son Joseph was alive in Egypt. There are some things that are not for us to know now, though they are knowable. So he has forbidden John from writing down what the thunders say. Deuteronomy 29:29, it says, “The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever.” In our text, the division is that the secret hidden things are the seven thunders and the things revealed are the open scroll. God divides future things into what we definitely know is coming and what we do not yet know. What Do These Symbols Mean? To sum up, the angel is awesome, glorious, mighty and massive. He comes to bring an open scroll revealing secrets and mysteries through John to planet earth. Every nation and language and king will hear about these things concerning the end of the world which he will finally reveal, first through the rest of the book of Revelation to us and then second through the unfolding events of history in the future. The Message from the Angel The Solemn Oath What is the message from the angel? The angel takes an oath stance to some degree and gives a solemn oath. Verses 5-6 say, “Then the angel I had seen standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven. And he swore by him who lives for ever and ever, who created the heavens and all that is in them, the earth and all that is in it, and the sea and all that is in it, and said, ‘There will be no more delay!’” The angel takes this oath stance with his right foot left foot, as we've noted, and he raises his right hand up to heaven and takes an oath. The taking of the oath, we are told in the book of Hebrews, is to give us a sense of certainty about what he's talking about. He swears by the eternal God, the God who lives forever and ever, whose kingdom never changes. He swears by the creator God, the King of all creation, the text looks at all the spheres of creation, of heaven and earth and sea and extends to all the creatures that go in those spheres, it extends to everything. The God who made the heavens and the earth and the sea, the eternal King by that God, I swear. The Main Message What does he swear? “There will be no more delay!” The unfolding of God’s plan seems to take forever. When will this happen? We always want to know. When, when, when? Maybe it will start tomorrow with the eclipse. (Be careful; do not burn your eyes, read safety tips about it. Your sunglasses are not enough. I looked through the polarized strip on my windshield with sunglasses on to do a trial run on the sun yesterday. Tomorrow the sun will be really interesting and dangerous. Watching a video might be safer.) We are always asking how long. When will all these things come about? In Daniel 12, an angel actually asked it. “One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, ‘How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?’” The martyrs under the altar ask, “How long until we're avenged? How long, O Lord?” But there will come a time in human history when things will rapidly come to an end. In the book of Revelation we are between the 6th and 7th trumpets. Think of what has already happened to planet earth — the ecology is damaged, the demonic armies have brought suffering and torture, killing a third of humanity. When those terrifying things happen, the time is very short; there will be no more delay. The Significance of this Promise Jesus said it will be so terrible in those days that “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.” [Matthew 24:22] I would add that, for the sake of the elect, those days are numbered, and the number has been revealed to us. We will get to that in future, so that adds suspense. I will talk about the 1260 days in a few weeks. God has numbered those days why? Because it will be so horrible to go through that time that the saints will need to know how many days to expect. We who are not living through them now do not need to know to that level. But when these things happen, there will be no more delay. The Mystery of God Accomplished Verse 7 clearly identifies the timing: “But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.” The mystery of God means those things that are part of God’s overall redemptive plan down to some detailed levels that have not yet been told to us. The mystery of God will be accomplished in those days. One example of a mystery passage is Ephesians 1:9-10, which says, “And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment— [that is the end of the world] to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ.” That is the mystery, the big picture. He will destroy all evil or convert it and bring together into one head everything he has made to create harmony together under Christ, so that we are all worshiping, giving glory to God. The problems in our country and our city will be gone; we will be perfectly one. The time for the mystery to be accomplished will be short when the seventh trumpet sounds. The book of Revelation represents the final stage of prophetic unfolding of the mysterious plan of God in writing ahead of time. In the days of the seventh trumpet, the end of all the messages ever given through the Old Testament, New Testament, prophets and the apostles will be accomplished, fulfilled, and the day of the Lord will have come at last. To that end, the angel has come to re-commission the Apostle John to finish his writing, the rest of the book of Revelation. The Mission of the Angel The Command to John, His Request, and Eating the Scroll Verse 8 says, “Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me once more: ‘Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.’” The reason the mighty angel came down to visit John was to give him the scroll so he could proclaim its message to the nations of the earth. While Daniel was absolutely overwhelmed by the vision of the angel, John does not seem to be laid out in the same way. He is able to function, but he has to be commanded to get the scroll. Verse 9 says, “So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll.” But the angel told him something about the scroll and the effect it would have not only on him, but also on every faithful believer who reads the book of Revelation, the things God commanded John to write. Continuing in verses 9-10: “He said to me, ‘Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.’ I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour.” The angel told John to eat the scroll. As I read through this with my children, we pondered whether he literally chews and swallows it. I do not know, but it is at least a visionary language. As he eats it, it tastes sweet in his mouth. Eating God’s Word or prophecy is well known and happens a number of times in the Old Testament. It is clear in Ezekiel 3:1-4, “And he said to me, ‘Son of man, eat what is before you, eat this scroll; then go and speak to the house of Israel.’ So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat. Then he said to me, ‘Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your stomach with it.’ So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth. He then said to me: ‘Son of man, go now to the house of Israel and speak my words to them.’” Ezekiel was told to go only to the Jews but that they would not listen to him, though if he went to the rest of the world, they would listen. Eating the scroll represents the total absorption of the Word of God into your inner being. Chewing, swallowing, digesting. It comes inside and fills you. John is to take this message in his mouth, chew it up, taste it, digest it and proclaim it. The sweetness of the Word of God is established in so many places. Psalm 19 says that God’s Word, his Law, is sweeter than honey from the comb. It is a beautiful picture. But John’s experience would be a mixed one — sweet in the mouth, but bitter afterward, as though it gave him a stomach ache and he wanted to vomit. This represents that the message of the book of Revelation is a mixed one for us. It is difficult to hear. The bitterness is related to the fact that many people will die under the wrath of God, not as believers in Christ, and that this beautiful world that God made will be completely destroyed as by fire. Moreover, the process of going through that will be grievous. It will be difficult to watch; people will die unrepentant under the wrath of God. There is a sweetness that comes from knowing that God’s ultimate purpose is good, and that in the end, Revelation 21-22, there will be a radiant church and a new world and a glorious experience with God. That is very sweet. But now we have some bitterness to go through, not different than Jesus weeping over Jerusalem or the Apostle Paul having “great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart” [Romans 9:2] for the Jews who do not believe in Jesus. It is bitter and sweet. John Recommissioned John is then recommissioned to preach to the nations in verse 11: “Then I was told, ‘You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings.’” Eating the scroll results in John writing a prophetic message that the entire world must hear. He must prophesy; it is absolutely necessary that he write the message for the world. John is called by God and he has no choice. It is unclear in the Greek whether he is to prophesy about many nations, in the ESV, against many nations, or before many nations, in the KJV. I think it is all three. He will preach about, in front of and against nations. John gives a common description of the nations such as “peoples, nations and languages,” but has here added “kings.” People from all over the world need to hear John’s message, but especially kings. Later in the book of Revelation, the kings of the earth will organize their power and regimes under Antichrist and gather at the battle of Armageddon to fight against the people of God, triggering the Second Coming of Christ, which we will cover in Revelation 17, God willing. The kings of the earth need to hear this. But before those days come, there will be some kings who will hear and heed the message of the Word of God and repent. Isaiah 40:23-24 “He brings princes to naught and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing. No sooner are they planted, no sooner are they sown, no sooner do they take root in the ground, than he blows on them and they wither, and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.” But some kings, some rulers, some movers and shakers, even in our day, will hear the gospel and repent and believe. As it says in Isaiah 52:15 “…so will he sprinkle many nations, and kings will shut their mouths because of him. For what they were not told, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand.” Applications What applications can we take from this incredible chapter? An Interlude This chapter is awesome even as an interlude, a break, from the overwhelming action in Revelation 8 and 9. We need to step back as we read through the book. We have seen the destruction in Revelation 8 of planet earth at levels we can scarcely imagine; and we have seen the destruction of the human race, up to one-third of the population of the earth, at levels that have never happened before in human history. These terrors are so overwhelming that we, the readers, need an interlude to catch our breath. But the vision is not merely a throw away or an intermission. God is saying, “I have more to say to you and you need to listen to the rest. It will be sweet, ultimately, for you, but there are some bitter aspects.” It also shows the grace of God in unrolling the scroll of time in his own way, at his own pace. When we finish, you will walk out and the world will look like it always does. You will see the sun shining and feel the breeze on your face. You will see birds flying and the green grass. You will feel the heat of an August Sunday afternoon. And you will be tempted to think, “Where is all this that we have been reading about in the Revelation? Everything goes on as it always has.” Whether you think that or not, I guarantee you, non-Christians are definitely thinking those thoughts. If they knew anything about these things, they would reject them out of hand, and think they are ridiculous. We need to read the words of the unsealed scroll, the Word of God, about the future that is coming. We need to take it to heart. We need to eat it and bring it into ourselves and say, “I believe that everything I see with my eyes is temporary and will some day be destroyed by the wrath of God. That needs to affect the way I live.” 2 Peter 3:11-12 gives us two great applications for this kind of meditation. “Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? [First] You ought to live holy and godly lives as you [second] look forward to the day of God and speed its coming…” by the proclamation of the Gospel. Bear in mind that our Lord’s patience means salvation. “He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” [2 Peter 3:9] We are entrusted with the ministry of reconciliation. Though racism is a weighty topic, this is a far bigger issue. It has to do with the eternal judgment of people on Judgment Day, in which the outcome will be eternal Heaven or hell. We are responsible to be holy ourselves and to preach the Gospel. Parents: Teach Your Children These Things I would urge you, parents, walk through this with your kids. Teach them eschatology, end-time doctrine. Teach them about angels. Teach them about what God says is coming so that they can be aware and live accordingly. Understand Angels... Awesome Warriors!! Understand angels. Understand how much they fight to protect us. Do not worship them, but be grateful for them, for the ministry that they carry on. Imitate their obedience so that God’s will would be carried out in your life as it is by the angels in heaven. The Word of God... a Tiny Scroll that Will Outlast the Kings of the Earth Finally, absorb the Word of God. Take it in, eat it, swallow it, let it affect the way you live your life. Closing Prayer Close with me in prayer. Lord, we thank You for the Word of God. We thank you for the way it teaches us so many things. And, Father, we pray that You would strengthen each one of us to welcome its message, to absorb it into ourselves and to heed it. Oh God, give us courage for the facing of this hour. Help us to be willing to stand strong against evil, against darkness, and to speak the truth, but to do it in love, hopeful that those that are holding destructive wrong views might be rescued and brought over into the Kingdom of Light. We pray this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Part 14 – SERIES: Summer Psalms 2016 We wrap up our Summer Psalms series this week by looking at the last three Psalms: 148, 149, and 150. Each has as its focus the praise of Jesus Christ. Everyone and everything worships. The question is what/who do you worship FIRST? You were designed (and are commanded) to worship JESUS first. When you do, it yields great joy!
