This is an excellent short summary of the seven seals as it encompasses a big picture, connecting to other scripture sections in the process, both in the synoptics gospels where Jesus speaks to end times and the old testament, for our readings this year have shown a plethora of prophecy from the prophets. “Let Scripture testify to scripture!” . We need to immerse ourselves in God’s Word throughout our lifetime. But we shouldn’t expect to answer all of our questions, for if we could even approach it, our god would be too small! But our God is awesome unfathomable! The key is He loves us unfathomably and He will makes things right in the end on His time.

I could say we need to be like good boy scouts and “be prepared.” But, recognizing all earthly analogies are weak, I think it would be more appropriate, particularly in these times, to think of ourselves as “SEALs”. We may be out-numbered wherever we go, but we remain steadfast and unflustered at all times. And when push comes to shove, and all hell breaks loose, I would rather have a handful of SEALs with me than an entire division of regular Army troops. And so it is with the church, the small remmant warriors as compared to the multitude that may have their butt in the pews on Sunday morning one hour weekly, at least for now until persecution ramps up, but not much else. Semper Fi!, and if we suffer, all the more glory to HIm who keeps us steadfast to His purposes and His unfathomable plan of redemption forever.

As I noted, we are going the entire book of Revelation in just four Saturdays of study. We will pray that we establish a good foundation to build up the walls steady and true , for further study down the road.
