Welcome to another episode of 30 Minutes in a New Testament.

30 Minutes in New Testament is a 1517 podcast network podcast.

You go to 1517.org slash podcast and check it all.

The other podcasts are living over there.

And while you're over there, make sure you check out everything else that 1517 is doing.

Let me tell you what I think you should do.

I think you should go to the events page and see if there's any events that are open for registration. I'm just saying, I think you should do that. You know, if there was something that happened to be open for

registration that you wanted to go to, that you register for it. Yeah, so let's do that.

Eric, we are in Revelation chapter seven. You know, we got six out of seven seals opened up.

And now we got to get to that seventh seal.

But before we get to that seventh seal, we got to deal with some numbers, dude.

We do.

There's all sorts of interesting.

This is where you start to see revelation get really revelationy, you know,

where you start to get real symbolic numbers, that sort of stuff.

I mean, in chapter six, of course, as those six seals were open, we saw wars and famine and

pestilence and bloodshed depicted for us as the world went through all sorts of tribulation.

And at the end of it, you saw those who had been martyred for their confession of Christ

were crying out, how long, oh, Lord, before you fix this injustice? Essentially, that was the

gist of their cry. How long before you judge your enemies and bring this world to an end?
