Sermon Songs: Revelation 6:9-17

On By BrianIn Revelation Hymns

MusicNotes

Lo He comes with justice bringing, Answering the martyr’s cry
Faithful witnesses to our King, For Him were willing to die
Now with white robes, Christ’s righteousness
Waiting for justice to come

Lo He comes with justice bringing, Ominous signs in the sky
There will be a cosmic shaking, Hear the wicked’s desperate cry
Rocks fall on us, From God hide us
The day of God’s wrath has come

Lo He comes with justice bringing, Stand firm and commit to pray
Love and turn from vengeance seeking, Hope in Christ and Him obey
Repent from sin, Go with good news
Waiting for justice to come

To the tune of “Lo He Comes With Clouds Desending”

We must come to the point where what matters most to us is faithfulness to God.  Faithfulness to the Word of God and the gospel must be more important to us than pleasure, more important to us than leisure, and more important than life itself.  We must value faithfulness to God and his word more than we value the ability to go on living our peaceful, happy lives.

RevQuotes

God has been allowing crimes and injustices and blasphemies and abominations for so long, and he has been tolerating such lies and calumnies to be spoken about him all these years. Revelation 6 promises that one day the wrath will begin to fall. The debt finally comes due. Justice will be done. The wicked will give account. The righteous will be avenged. God will be glorified in his justice.

Sermon Songs: Revelation 6:1-8

On By BrianIn Revelation Hymns

MusicNotes

Behold the Lamb as He opens, Each of the seals – one through four
Now unleashing the four horsemen, Set to conquer and make war
Bringing famine, Disease, and death
As the Lamb jud-ges the earth

The Lamb reigns now let us trust Him, And endure real suffering
Limits judgment – let us praise Him, Repent and obey the King
He reigns today, And forever
Come and behold: the Lamb reigns

To the tune of “Lo He Comes With Clouds Descending”

The progression of the four seals is from lust to conquest (the first seal) to civil war (the second seal) to famine (the third seal) to pestilence and death (the fourth seal). This is the natural progression of man’s inhumanity to man. In other words, God simply allows human sin to come full circle, turn in upon itself, and self-destruct.

The primary theme is divine sovereignty, as the Lamb initiates the event, and in three of them the divine passive “was given” (6:2, 4, 8) controls the action. This means that the activities of the horsemen take place only as authorized by God.
