We are in the section:
“The Short History of the
World,0 B.C. to the
END”
Real History in Pictures & Symbols
● Like Murals● give the
general idea of some truth
● but don't give a linear story
Collage – my house
Chapter 1
● We started with Jesus, clothed in glory and Lord of all
● He tells us this book is to tell us what is happening and what will happen. It is relevant!
Chapter 2: Jesus' Love Letters
● 7 tough love letters
● to 7 churches in the 1st century
● just as much to us in the 21st century
Ch. 4 & 5: The Control Room of the Universe
● The Throne Room of Heaven
● A book of Destiny that is all sealed up
● No one can open it● until a ... LAMB ...
appears, on the throne!
A Short History of the World
Ch.6: Seven Seals and 4 Horsemen
● the 1st telling of the history
● and it ends at the final judgement on the last day, the Great Day of God
Ch.7: The Gathering Storm – Who Shall Stand?
● Lots and Lots!● no one can
number them● who?● none but those
who have run to Jesus Christ, “who delivers us from the wrath to come”
Ch.8-11: The 7 Trumpets
● the 2nd telling of the history of the world
● 7 judgements● but in the middle
a mighty angel with a message of hope
● and it too ends at THE END
Chapters 12 - 14
● St George may or may not have rescued the beautiful Princess Sabra from the Dragon.
● But it is a great illustration of how Jesus, King of Kings, overthrows Satan, that old Dragon, and rescues His Bride, the Church.
Ch.12, The Woman, the Man-Child & the Dragon
● 3rd history● What do these
Symbols mean?– Woman – Eve,
Mary & the Old Testament church
– Man-Child is Jesus, born to be King of Kings and Saviour
– Dragon is Satan, hating God and His people
Ch.13, Satan's Henchmen
● Sea-beast– Fierce Civil Power
● Earth-beast– False Religion
(Dragon in Lamb's clothing!)
● 666-???<--- Copyright David Miles, used by permission
Ch.14 – The Lamb with His Fair Army
“The Lamb with His fair army does on Mount Zion stand, and glory, glory dwells there in Emmanuel's land.”
This history also ends at THE END
Ch. 15 & 16 - The Last Battle● Main Image - the 7 Bowls
full of 7 Plagues● "can't I just have 'God is
Love'?"● No! for then He would
not, could not be God. He cannot be Goodness and Love and tolerate evil forever. One day He must and will act against all evil. He cannot be Light and not drive out Darkness.
The Singers and the Song
● Who?● What Song?
The Singers and the Song
Who are the singers?
The Singers and the Song
“the line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either, but right through every human heart, and
through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years.
Even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained; and even in the best of all hearts, there
remains a small corner of evil.” -- Alexander Solzhenitsyn
The Singers and the Song
There is therefore HOPE
The Song
Of Moses and of the Lamb
* Great and Amazing works of God * Just and True in His ways * He is the King! * Who wouldn't rightly fear/reverence Him, and gladly come to Him? (sadly, many)
First 4 Plagues
● disease● sea turned to
blood● inland waters
turned to blood● Sun flares up and
scorches the earth and the people
5th & 6th Plagues
● DARKNESS - on the kingdom of the Beast
● Armageddon, the place of battles
7th and the Last
● on the air● "It is done!"● Like Jesus'
greatest victory at the Cross, He wins suddenly despite appearances of defeat. All the might of men and devils is wiped out in a moment.
THE END (again!)
● Richter 20 Earthquake
● Cities levelled● Islands destroyed● Mountains
flattened● GRIM? Yes, but
there is HOPE
God's PromiseNew International Version (NIV) - 2 Peter 3:9-13
"9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar; the elements will be destroyed by fire, and the earth and everything in it will be laid bare.
11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to live holy and godly lives 12 as you look forward to the day of God and speed its coming.bThat day will bring about the destruction of the heavens by fire, and the elements will melt in the heat. 13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness."
