Pastor Chuck Smith Excerpts from The Book of Revelation Escape Wrath Find Refuge in Jesus

Note: this is an excerpt from Revelation 6; in the full lesson, Pastor Chuck Smith explores the prophetic events described in the Book of Revelation. He emphasizes the contrasting outcomes for believers and non-believers, and the transformation of the world under the influence of the Antichrist, from a peaceful utopia to a site of great tribulation. As Jesus opens each of the seven seals on the celestial scroll, several Earthly disasters are triggered in sequence: the rise of the Antichrist, followed by wars, famines, mass death, and finally, martyrdom of believers who reject the Antichrist's mark. Pastor Chuck elaborates on the symbolisms in the opening of each seal. The first event marks the rise of the Antichrist, represented by a bow-bearing rider on a white horse, who initially brings false peace and unity to the world, only to declare himself as a false Messiah after 3.5 years and enforce his rule through brutal dictatorship. The subsequent seals trigger global wars, potentially involving nuclear conflict, famines causing scarce and expensive food, death falling upon a quarter of the world's population, and persecution of believers. As the sixth seal opens, it brings about cataclysmic events, causing terror among all Earth's inhabitants.Within this foreboding context, Pastor Chuck stresses the importance of establishing a strong relationship with Jesus Christ to secure a future of glory rather than doom. He concludes his sermon with a call to decision, urging listeners to denounce the works of darkness and to seek the Lord. The lesson serves as a reminder that uncertain individuals can seek prayer and guidance, reinforcing the need for readiness for Christ's return. In summary, the discourse underscores the grim future prophesied in Revelation, while emphasizing the ultimate salvation found in commitment to Jesus Christ.
