Revelation 6:9-17
Intro/Attention
Tonight, in our study of the book of Revelation, we come to Revelation 6:9-17. Last week, we saw the first four ''seals'' broken and the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Tonight, in the remainder of chapter 6, we will see the next two ''seals'' broken and the judgment that comes as a result. READ TEXT
Tonight's message is entitled, The Wrath of the Lamb. It sounds contradictory and almost illogical: The Wrath of the Lamb. A lamb is passive and gentle, meek and lowly. Wrathful? That is hardly a word to be associated with a lamb and yet, there it is, in Revelation 6:16: ''...the wrath of the Lamb...'' (ON SCREEN) And, it must not escape our attention-this is not just any Lamb but a very particular one. It is the Lamb of God, the Lord Jesus Christ.
*Liberal and modernist theologians have been quick to extol and embrace the portrait of the meek and lowly Jesus, the gentle and compassionate man from Galilee. Now to be sure, He is all of these things: meek and humble, gentle and compassionate. However, this portrait is only a partial picture of the Savior. Scripture also portrays a Jesus who twice cleanses the temple, who angrily condemned the hypocrisy of the scribes and Pharisees calling them ''serpents'' and ''a brood of vipers,'' and who said more about the eternal fire and judgment of hell than anyone else in the Bible. A balanced view of the God of the Bible must hold in balance His love and His holiness, His compassion and His justice, His grace and His righteousness, His mercy and His wrath.*
In Revelation, the wrath of God is a reoccurring theme (11:18; 14:10; 16:19; 19:15). *Warren Wiersbe says, ''If men and women will not yield to the love of God, and be changed by the grace of God, then there is no way for them to escape the wrath of God.''* What will it be like and what should we learn when the wrath of the Lamb comes?
