And now unleashing God's truth one verse at a time.

Here is Grace to you Bible teacher John MacArthur.

Well, let's open our Bibles to the scripture for this morning.

It is the eighth chapter of the book of Revelation. Revelation

Chapter 8. And I've entitled this, Final Judgment launched, because in simple words,

that's what we find in this text.

I was thinking about it, even this morning, that people are so worried about what's going

to happen to the planet.

They are obsessing about that.

They are taking all kinds of angles and supposed precautions to save the planet.

What they ought to be afraid of is what's going to happen to them.

To them.

And that is why the Word of God gives us so many warnings about divine judgment.

So many warnings.

But this one, in the eighth chapter of Revelation, is really the launch point of final judgment,

final judgment on this world before Christ returns and takes over and rules and reigns in his kingdom.
