SCRIPTURE: Revelation 6:1-17 OBSERVATION/APPLICATION: My first thought is that this vision refers to specific events, but another way to look at it is that it describes overall themes/patterns unfolding in history, a general summary of the unfolding of events that follow Jesus’ placement on the highest throne. The patterns include rising political powers, wars, famine and…

SCRIPTURE: Revelation 5:1-14 OBSERVATION/APPLICATION: As a Christ-follower, I believe that Jesus is the ONLY WAY to restoring the universe, as well as my own life. This vision reminds me that there is no other one, and no other way, but the way of the Lamb. The scroll represents God’s plan for restoring the universe. The lion…

SCRIPTURE: Revelation 4:1-11 OBSERVATION/APPLICATION: This is a vision, filled with symbols that attempt to describe the indescribable. How do we describe the presence of God? God reveals Himself to our limited, finite senses, using images we can relate to: thrones, jewels, rainbows, lightning, thunder, beasts, crowns. Its not that this is unreal, just that it is…

SCRIPTURE: Revelation 3:14-22 OBSERVATION/APPLICATION: Apparently these believers in Laodicea settled into a spiritual rut, thinking that they were OK spiritually speaking. The Lord challenges their apathy, urging them to dig deeper, seek further, live more passionately. He describes them as having closed their hearts to Him, and at risk of missing out on really knowing Him….

SCRIPTURE: Revelation 2:1-11 OBSERVATION/APPLICATION: Two churches, both of which were “on fire” for the Lord. The believers in Ephesus were zealous for the Lord, yet somehow they had fallen from their first love. Jesus’ warning about removing their lampstand is not a threat for revenge, but a warning that when the flame is not tended, the…

SCRIPTURE: Revelation 1:9-20 OBSERVATION/APPLICATION: This vision comes to John while in exile for serving Jesus. He had experienced the ‘justice’ and ‘power’ of the Roman empire, now he is about to experience the JUSTICE and the POWER of Jesus Christ, the Lord of the Universe. This appearance of Jesus is filled with images and analogies, designed…

SCRIPTURE: Revelation 1:1-8 OBSERVATION/APPLICATION: This is a message from our reigning monarch in the midst of a war. Think of when the queen of the Netherlands was in England during WW2, and sent messages by radio to inspire and encourage those that remained under the Nazi occupation. Even though it was illegal to listen, the people…
