A Cry Under the Altar
Revelation 6:9-17The fifth seal shows martyrs asking God how long, the sixth shows the powerful hiding from the Lamb, and together they ask the question that chapter 7 will answer: who can stand when God finally judges?
Sweet in the Mouth, Bitter Within
Revelation 10:1-11Between the sixth and seventh trumpets, a mighty angel swears that God's delay is nearly over, and John is told to take God's open word into himself, taste both its sweetness and its bitterness, and speak it to the nations again.
Grain Gathered, Grapes Trampled
Revelation 14:14-20The Son of Man reaps a ripe earth and an angel treads the winepress of God's wrath, a sobering picture that shows evil being ended at its appointed hour, and that points us back to the One who first drank the cup of wrath for his people.
