The small fledgling Church in Philadelphia was marked by obedience to the word of Christ and faithfulness to bearing testimony to him. Let us follow. It’s a wonderful example!

Laodicea: The Church Of The Unconverted
The church of Laodicea is the story of a church that started out well but ended tragically – it is the church of the unconverted!
The 4 Horsemen
Jesus Christ is the sovereign Lord of the universe, as seen in Him slitting the 4 seals and releasing the 4 horsemen to do his bidding in the earth.
The Cry of the Martyrs
When Jesus breaks the fifth seal, the martyrs who shed their blood and died for Christ rather than to renounce their faith are revealed. Their cry is, “How long O Lord will you refrain from judging and avenging our blood?” This is just a glimpse into the world of the martyrs – men and women who have willingly died for Christ over the last 2,000 years.
The Wrath Of The Lamb
Following on the heels of the vision of the Christian martyrs, John now receives a vision of the destruction of the heavens and the earth, the terror of the wicked at the Second Coming of Christ. Men will cry to the Mountains and Rocks to fall on them and hide them from the wrath of the Lamb!
The Prayers Of The Saints
The saints cry to God for justice, and God answers by sending seven angels with seven trumpet judgments. This teaches us that it is right for the saints to pray that God would judge His enemies and advance His kingdom.
The Sounding Of The First Four Trumpets
In response to the believing prayer of the saints God now judges her persecutors and enemies. In this message we seek to find some Old Testament information related to the trumpet judgments. As we do so, the vision and its meaning become clearer.
The Locusts from the Bottomless Pit
In Revelation 9 we are introduced to a vision of a vast horde of locusts that torment unbelievers. This points to a demonic invasion of monumental proportions. In this message we survey the Preterist, Futurist, and Idealist perspectives on this judgment of God.
