God is not only the Greatest of all beings but the Best. All the goodness there is in any creature has been imparted from the Creator, but God’s goodness is underived, for it is the essence of His eternal nature. -Arthur W. Pink

Last episode we read through the beautiful prophesy at the end of Revelation 7. About the over-comers and those that came out of the tribulation. God wipes every tear from their eyes and washes their robes in white to come and serve Him day and night in the temple.

This week we move on to Revelation 8 where we wrap up the discourse on the 7 seal judgments.

So here we go Revelation 8:1-5

The Passage

When the Lamb opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. 2 Then I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them. 3 And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar before the throne, 4 and the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, rose before God from the hand of the angel. 5 Then the angel took the censer and filled it with fire from the altar and threw it on the earth, and there were peals of thunder, rumblings,[a] flashes of lightning, and an earthquake.

The List:

1. He is The Lamb

2. (the lamb) opens the seventh seal

3. There are moments of silence in heaven

4. There is a measurement of time in heaven

5. There are seven angels that stand before God

6. The Lord distributes trumpets to his angels

7. There is an angel with a censor before the altar

8. That angel uses the censor to offer our prayers as incense to God

9. Our prayers rise like incense and smoke before God

10. There is fire on the heavenly altar

11. He assigns an angel to throw fiery judgements to the earth

12. Our prayers stir up the Lord to release judgments
