The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (13 of 40)
Series: GOD'S SPECIAL BOOK OF BLESSING

Revelation 6:1-8
December 29, 2002
Now with your Bible opened to GOD'S SPECIAL BOOK OF BLESSING, and of course that would be the book of Revelation, the apocalypse, the unveiling of Jesus, we come this morning to chapter 6.
The church age ends with chapter 3, and with the end of the church age, the rapture of the church then follows! We have seen that before God's judgment comes down that His church will go up!

Now chapters 4-5 describe the future worship that will take place in Heaven. Chapters 6-19 describe the future wrath that will take place on earth.
In chapter 5:2, a question is raised: "Who is worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?" That scroll is the title-deed t ...
