Sevens: Prayer, Trumpets, and Warning Mercy (Revelation 8:1–6) Revelation aims at faithfulness today. Pastor Timothy teaches how the silence in heaven, incense with the saints' prayers, and the first trumpet judgments call the church to pray specifically, repent quickly, and endure faithfully. With echoes of Exodus and Jericho, and a clear explanation of recapitulation, this message shows how God uses our prayers—joined to Christ's intercession—to advance His purposes.Text: Revelation 8:1–6; cf. Revelation 9:20–21; Luke 22:31–32; John 21; James 4:2; Romans 8:34 Series: More Than Conquerors (Revelation) | Speaker: Pastor Timothy Stewart | Date: Sept 7, 2025Takeaways: • Prayer is a real means God uses to accomplish His ends • Warning judgments are severe mercy—meant to lead to repentance • Suffering drives us toward bitterness or repentance—choose repentance

This week's sermon: Jesus, the One who holds the key of David, opens doors no one can shut and calls His church to walk through them in humble, persevering love. Looking to the church in Philadelphia, we learn that “small” and “weak” are not liabilities—Christ's strength is made perfect in our weakness, and wounded healers become His hands and feet. Open doors send us out to serve and open our hearts to receive anyone the Spirit delivers, meeting people not first with arguments but with authentic love that points to Christ. Hope anchors us: He is near in our trials and faithful to see us through. Text: Revelation 3:7–13.

Home. What does that word mean to you?  Take all those wonderful memories, multiply them a hundred-fold, and you will just have scratched the surface of what our heavenly home will be like.  What will heaven be like? Revelation 21-22 gives us a glimpse. Here John describes a place that is absolutely perfect with streets of gold and gates of pearl. He is introduced to the “Bride” – a city that is a family, God's perfect new community.What will life be like in this new community? 1.     You will be wondrously transformed.  Verse 1 speaks of a “new heaven and a new earth,” and aren't you glad?  Satan's savagery and human sinfulness have raped God's creation.  It's a far cry from the “very good” world that the Lord first made.But it's not only the world at large that will be transformed – you will be transformed. Think of it! A new fit-for-eternity body and housing a whole new sin-free nature. 2.     You will be thoroughly joyful. Not only will all those things that rob you of joy be removed, but heaven will add the things that bring the greatest joy.3.     You will be ceaselessly productive. You need never fear that heaven will be boring! We were made with a desire to grow and learn… to contribute and produce. And that's what we will do in heaven. The responsibility God gave mankind in Eden will be reinstated… to have dominion and rulership.4.     You will be intimately cherished. Think of it!  We're going to be in the very presence of the Father. We'll get to crawl up on Abba-Papa's lap. We'll be in the presence of the Lamb who died for us. We will see His face and look into His eyes. All our questions will be answered. This is your destiny when you're finally home. With that in mind, how should that impact the way we live?Knowing there's a heaven can keep us from handling discontentment in unwise ways.We have this deep longing for contentment, but in this world that desire is consistently frustrated. And you're tempted to meet that need for contentment in a way that does not honor God or advance His Kingdom. But knowing what awaits us in heaven allows us to delay gratification and remain faithful to our Father. Knowing there's a heaven can comfort us when times are hard.  When the bottom of life drops out…when the roof begins to cave in… the promise of heaven reminds us that there's a firm, unshakable shelter above.  Knowing there's a heaven can encourage us that our lives have meaning. Sometimes we're tempted to think that life is futile and that we're simply marking time down here. But the Bible clearly teaches us that every day has meaning and purpose.Your life matters. Your actions are not in vain. Your sacrifices have not gone unseen. And that can make all the difference in the world in how you approach life.  Text: Revelation 21:1-22:6Originally recorded on June 11, 2000, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

The Second Coming of Christ is not a point on which the Scriptures are ambiguous or unclear. “In the same way” as He ascended, it says in Acts 1:9-11, He will return. Literally, bodily, gloriously. The Bible even tells us where He will return: the Mount of Olives (Zech. 14:4).But it's in Revelation 19 that the day of Jesus' return is described. First of all, there is rejoicing at the destruction of evil. “Hallelujah!” shouts this great multitude in heaven. “Praise God!  At last!  He has won!”To all waiting for that day, waiting for evil to be overcome: your desire for justice may be deferred, but it will not be denied - so be confident.Secondly, there is rejoicing at the wedding feast of the Lamb.We all have a great fear of rejection. Rather we long to know and be known, to love and be loved. But the truth is, no relationship on earth can fully satisfy that longing. Only God can.One of the uniquenesses of Christianity is that our God describes Himself as our “husband.” We are designed and destined to know an intimacy with God and He uses the illustration of marriage to convey it.Verse 8 talks about the “bride” – the church – being given fine linen to wear, symbolizing the “righteous acts of God's holy people.” If you were to appear before God dressed in a wedding gown made up of your righteous acts (service and love), what type of gown would you be wearing?  Would it be stained or wrinkled? Or would it be beautiful?Your hunger for love will be fully satisfied – so be ready.Finally, there is rejoicing at the return of Christ. The setting of His return is the battle of Armageddon. The kings of the earth have rallied their armies against the Antichrist has his horde as his empire begins to implode. Suddenly, Jesus appears – riding on a white horse, with the armies of heaven behind Him. The earthly armies join forces and turn to take Him on. But there is no contest. With the sword of His mouth, the armies are destroyed.There is a lot that is unclear about Christ's return, but one thing is clear: Jesus is coming back to earth, and this time He's no meek Lamb.  He's the Lion of Judah. And His judgment on all who have not come into His camp will be decisive and devastating. If you're not prepared for His return…if you've not allied yourself with Him…you will face that wrath.  Your questions about the coming of Christ will be answered – so be saved. Text: Revelation 19 Originally recorded on May 28, 2000, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN 

Revelation 17 is one of the most difficult passages in the entire book. The identity of the woman on the beast has been a matter of great theological debate down through the years.  In trying to interpret these thornier texts, it's important to ask this basic question of biblical hermeneutics: What did the writer intend to say to his original audience? The Bible cannot mean what it never meant.As John's audience read the vision of this woman, they would have quickly identified her as Rome. The beast, as we've seen in earlier visions, symbolizes political power.  In John's day, that would have been the emperor. So, we have a godless system supported by political power.But this vision did not simply apply to a 1st-century empire. It also points to a leader that is yet to come. The Antichrist – the beast of Rev. 13 - a charismatic leader who will arise in the last days out of a restored Roman Empire. He will create a city that will serve as his social, political, and religious base while he attempts to establish his kingdom. And world leaders will “get in bed” with the Anti-Christ and his godless system.As God's wrath is poured out with greater and greater destruction, the Antichrist will turn on his allies and the system will begin to implode. Like wounded animals, they devour each other.So, what are we to learn here?Rev. 18:4 is a key verse: “‘Come out of her, my people,' so that you will not share in her sins…”We need to understand that we all face the temptation to compromise with the system.The system – “Rome” – is anything that could seduce you or intimidate you into not fully following Christ.In an earlier letter, John called this system “the world.” He wrote: “Do not love the world, nor the things that are in the world…” (1 Jn. 2:5-6)He then breaks down the things in the world as:The lust of the flesh = SensualismThe lust of the eyes = MaterialismThe boastful pride of life = EgotismWe can have promising beginnings and thriving hearts, and then get seduced by the world.  It is a very real threat.  We need to understand what will be the end of any system that defies Christ.That John symbolized “Rome” as a prostitute isn't accidental. He's making a vivid point. You may think this grand and glorious world system is so desirable, but the reality is that “Rome the Magnificent” is a bloated, pathetic streetwalker. Doomed to destruction.  So don't be seduced by her evil or intimidated by her power. Take a long view of life and be faithful.  We need to understand the loss for any person who trusts in such a system.In Rev. 18:9-19 we see people who bet everything they had that alliance with “Rome” would give them power, wealth, and security. But in the end, “Rome” didn't come through. All her promises were as empty as the words of a prostitute.You've started the race well; but will you finish well?  Only you can answer that.  Only you can put safeguards into your life - spiritual disciplines, solid community, honest accountability - so you can run the race, finish the course, and win the prize.  Text: Revelation 17-18Originally recorded on May 14, 2000, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN 

Deep inside every human spirit, there's this unquenchable longing for justice. We look at the inequity of our world and ask, “How long, Lord? How long must we put up with this evil? How long before You step in and set things right?”At last, in our study of Revelation, we reach the point where God says, “Enough!” He pours out His wrath and final judgment on “every living thing.” (Rev. 16:3)Since judgment is coming, how should we then live? Let's ask a few questions and consider some practical implications. 1.     Who will do the judging?The Bible makes it clear that God will be the judge (Rev. 16: 5, 7).  But from other scriptural references we learn that, more specifically, the Father will delegate that judgment to Jesus. (Jn. 5:22; Mt. 28:19)Since Christ will judge with absolute authority, I must not take vengeance into my hands.Revenge is a losing proposition every time because the victim and the victimizer never weigh pain on the same scale. It never comes out as “fair” to both parties. Therefore, whenever you get hurt you only have two choices: to exact revenge or to forgive. By forgiving, we are trusting God to be the judge, a role only He is qualified and competent to hold. He says, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay.” When we insist upon vengeance, we are actually placing ourselves in a position that is reserved for Jesus Himself. And that is idolatry.2.     How will He judge?Rev. 16:5-7 uses these phrases to describe God's judgment: “You are just” “as they deserve” “true and just”We see miscarriages of justice all the time in our world – and that makes us wonder if people will somehow pull the wool over the Lord's eyes.            But these verses make it very clear that He will be absolutely fair and unbiased. True justice will be done.Since Christ will judge with utter integrity, I need not wonder if He will be fair. 3.     What will He judge? In vs. 15, there's a sort of parenthetical statement that pops out in all the plagues. “Blessed is the one who stays awake and remains clothed, so as not to go naked and be shamefully exposed.”Jesus warns that there is nothing hidden that will not one day be revealed. (Lk. 12:2-3) Have you ever done something in the dark you didn't want to be exposed? Ever whispered words in private you wouldn't want to be shouted? It's these dark deeds that Jesus will judge on that day. The only way you will keep from being utterly exposed on the Day of Judgment is if your sins are covered with Christ's forgiveness.Since Christ will judge with ruthless efficiency, I dare not stand before Him in naked rebellion.Too many people are “playing dress up.” They come to church, they put on a façade of righteousness, but they've never actually repented – given their lives to Christ and been covered in His righteousness. Their lives have shown no change. Their hearts instead are hard and rebellious. Don't play dress up. Run to the cross and be clothed in Christ. Text: Revelation 15-16Originally recorded on May 7, 2000, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

In this message, I'd like to walk us through four key images in Revelation chapters 8-11 – one from each chapter – and then find an application in each for our lives.  When Revelation chapter 8 begins, Jesus opens the seventh and final seal on the scroll of God's ultimate plans for mankind. This triggers the 7 Trumpet Judgments. Before the first trumpet sounds, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. All of heaven seems to be holding its breath. Why? Because the prayers of God's people were being poured out. What prayers? Likely the prayers of the saints back in Rev. 6 when the martyrs prayed for vindication. “How long, Lord? How long?” Now, at last, God answered those prayers…and acted.God's plan is to bring us into partnership, and the point of that partnership is prayer.Your prayers matter more than you could ever know.  As Walter Wink says, “History belongs to the intercessors.”  Am I willing to engage in the responsibility of intercession?In answer to the prayers of the saints, God's judgments now fall on earth.  As each trumpet sounds, a plague is poured out upon the world - the wrath of a holy God upon a people who had chosen to give its allegiance to the Antichrist rather than to His Son.In each of these plagues, we read of the destruction of 1/3 of the earth. Why? Why not just destroy it all? I think it's a sign of God's mercy.God's desire is to bring about repentance, and sometimes pain is the only way to get people's attention.Is there any pain in my life that God is trying to speak to me through?The third image comes from Rev. 10. John is given a small scroll and told to eat it. The scroll tasted sweet in his mouth but turned sour in his stomach. The scroll symbolizes God's Word. God's Word is all truth, but it's not all easy or pleasant.Do I feed on God's Word, obeying the hard commands as well as enjoying the happy promises?Finally, we come to the 2 witnesses in Rev. 11. Whether these are 2 literal people or they represent God's people faithfully witnessing in these last days, the reality is, the cost of their witness was death. God's call is for us to be courageous and faithful in our witness, not necessarily successful.Am I willing to take my stand for Christ even when it costs me?   Text: Revelation 8-11 Originally recorded on April 30, 2000, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN.
