QUOTES:

“After all the buildup in Rev. 10 and earlier, we reach the seventh trumpet judgment in Revelation 11:15. Unlike the other trumpets, this one does not introduce an instant calamity. As was the case with the seventh seal judgment, the seventh trumpet will serve as a prelude to the next set of judgments.” –Todd Hampson

“The third woe is revealed after the seventh trumpet judgment. This woe is parallel to the trumpet that sounds in Joel 2 and signals the consummation of God’s plan for the entire world. This third woe marks the finishing of God’s judgment on sin; it occupies the book of Revelation through the 19th chapter, when Christ’s Kingdom is established on earth. Incorporated within this third and final woe are the seven “bowls” of God’s wrath, described in Revelation 16:1-21. This series of judgments is the greatest horror the citizens of earth have ever seen. Jesus said, “If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive” (Matthew 24:22).” –GotQuestions.org

“This kingdom that has been Satan’s is now under direct challenge, and this in effect is a preamble as an announcement of victory… Remember if there is sin, injustice, or pain and suffering in this world, remember who is in control of all that [Satan]” –Chuck Missler

“How do you speak? Those who are spiritually dyslexic say, ‘I can’t make sense of what’s going on. Everything’s backwards. Why even worship? What’s the point of praying?’ On the other hand, those who are proleptic say, ‘Even in the middle of my tribulation, the midst of my difficulty, the center of my pain, I know God is on the throne and He is good.’” –Jon Courson

“The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord. Such is the language of heaven. If you want heaven in your heart or home, speak proleptically as you praise God prolifically.” –Jon Courson

“These elders probably symbolize the people of God in heaven, enthroned and rewarded... These are the “overcomers” who have conquered because of their faith in Christ (1 John 5:4–5).” –Warren Wiersbe

“There are two Greek words for anger: thumos, which means “rage, passionate anger,” and org∑, used here, which means “indignation, a settled attitude of wrath.” God’s anger is not an outburst of temper; it is holy indignation against sin. Both of these Greek words are used in Revelation to describe God’s anger: org∑ is used only four times; thumos, seven (Rev. 14:10, 19; 15:1, 7; 16:1, 19; 19:15). God’s anger is not dispassionate, for He hates sin and loves righteousness and justice, but neither is it temperamental and unpredictable.” –Warren Wiersbe

“Stewardship defines our practical obedience in the administration of everything under our control, everything entrusted to us. It is the consecration of one’s self and possessions to God’s service. Stewardship acknowledges in practice that we do not have the right of control over ourselves or our property—God has that control. It means as stewards of God we are managers of that which belongs to God, and we are under His constant authority as we administer His affairs. Faithful stewardship means that we fully acknowledge we are not our own but belong to Christ, the Lord, who gave Himself for us.”(Got Questions article on “Stewardship”)

““Them that destroy the earth” refers to the rebellious earth-dwellers who will not submit to God. How ironic that these people live for the earth and its pleasures, yet at the same time are destroying the very earth that they worship! When man forgets that God is the Creator and he is the creature, he begins to exploit his God-given resources, and this brings destruction. Man is a steward of creation, not the owner.” –Warren Wiersbe

“‘Then the temple of God in heaven was opened, and the ark of His covenant appeared in His temple.’ If we could look into heaven at this moment, we may think that we would see an angry God, but we would see “the ark of His covenant.” The Lord said concerning His people that He would make an everlasting covenant. If God has made a covenant with us, it is not simply for today and tomorrow, or merely for this life, but forever and ever. Christ– the great sacrifice by whose death the covenant was ratified, the One who has sworn to carry out our part of the covenant– never alters. The guarantor of the new covenant is the Son of God who, like His Father, never fails and never changes. The covenant is always before God, for Christ is always there.” –Charles Spurgeon
