Summary

Discover how the cycles of seals, trumpets, and bowls in Revelation offer a symbolic and repetitive portrayal of God's judgment, reflecting patterns from the Exodus and the prophets. Mike Erre and Tim Stafford delve into the Day of the Lord imagery, unpacking how these cycles subvert violent expectations and reveal Jesus as the slain Lamb who conquers through sacrificial love.

Key Takeaways:

• Understanding Revelation's Cycles – How the seals, trumpets, and bowls represent overlapping cycles of judgment rather than a sequential timeline.

• Day of the Lord Imagery – Exploring the use of Old Testament imagery to depict God's judgment against oppressive empires, with Rome as the new Babylon.

• Subverting Violent Expectations – Discussing how Revelation inverts traditional notions of conquest, highlighting victory through sacrifice and martyrdom.

• Witness Leading to Repentance – Emphasizing that it is the faithful witness of the martyred church, not God's judgments, that brings about repentance among the nations.
