Pastor Chuck Smith Excerpts from The Book of Revelation The Harpazo Exploring The Greek and Latin

Note: this is an excerpt from Revelation 4; in the full lesson Pastor Chuck Smith took a deep dive into the scripture of Revelation chapter four, dissecting the three divisions depicted in the book of Revelation representing the visions, the history of the church, and the prophetic future events. The lesson's main focus was on the third section, highlighting John's vision of heaven's door opening and the declaration of what lies in the future - an interpretation seen by Pastor Chuck as the rapture of the church. Pastor Chuck emphasized on the Latin translation of "rapture" -encapsulating the meeting of the church with the Lord post accomplishing its earthly mission.Further, Pastor Chuck elaborated on John's awe-inspiring vision of God's presence on the divine throne, the radiant brilliance it radiated, and the rainbow circling it. The presence of 24 elders seated on thrones and donning golden crowns sparked a debate on whether they represent the church or cherubic angelic entities. Pastor Chuck highlighted both views without giving an outright conclusion.The sermon also emphasized the heavenly worship by the cherubim and the 24 elders who pour their adorations towards God, expressing His worthiness of glory, honor and power. Pastor Chuck highlighted the divine belief that humans are created for God's felicity and companionship, and true joy derives from a profound relationship with God, not from transient happiness sourced from external circumstances. He urged the congregation to lead lives pleasing to God, emphasizing it as human life's main purpose.The sermon concluded with an encouraging call to seek God's kingdom first and his righteousness. He invited anyone burdened or in need of prayer to come forward after the sermon's conclusion. Pastor Smith concluded with the Lord's prayer, concluding with a blessing on the congregation.
