Last Things Last: Seals, Trumpets and Bowls

Last Things Last – Seals, Trumpets and Bowls

In this powerful message we zoom out and look at Revelation chapters 6–16 through a wide-angle lens: the seals, trumpets, and bowls. These chapters are intense, layered, and not always easy to wrap your head around. But when you step back, a pattern begins to emerge.

Each cycle begins with suffering and the chaos of earth. Each ends with thunder, lightning, and the shaking of heaven and earth, pointing to the "Day of the Lord" when Jesus returns to make all things right. In each one, a question is raised and answered. It's not random. What looks like disorder is actually moving somewhere, toward a day when evil ends and the Lamb reigns.

• For those crying, "How long, O Lord?" there is a day coming when your hope will be seen and fulfilled.
• For those despairing over corrupt nations and unjust powers, there is a day when their kingdoms will fall, and God's mercy will still reach out.
• For those overwhelmed by evil, there is a day when justice will roll down. Evil will be judged. 
• But for those in Christ, that judgment has already been carried by the Lamb.

These cries echo through history, into the present, and on into the future.

But the message is clear: There is a day coming, a day when evil will be ended once and for all, when the proud will bow, and when the broken will be healed.

Until then, we hold on, not in fear or panic, but in hope. Because the One who opened the scroll is the One who was slain, and He will finish what He started.
