Pastor Chuck Smith Excerpts from The Book of Revelation Unlocking & Decoding Prophecies of Messiah

Note: this is an excerpt from Revelation 10 in the full lesson In this sermon, Pastor Chuck Smith provides significant insight into Revelation Chapter 10. His sermon is primarily an in-depth study of the symbolism found in the chapter. He begins by explaining the role of angels as divine and human messengers, and speculates that the mighty angel portrayed in Revelation Chapter 10 might be a representation of Jesus Christ. This is based on the biblical description of Jesus's ascension into heaven and future return. Furthermore, he draws parallels between the vivid descriptions of Jesus in other biblical passages and the angel depicted in Chapter 10.The sermon then delves into an examination of the little scroll held by the angel. Pastor Chuck presents a compelling interpretation of the scroll as the title deed to the earth, effectively reclaimed by God through the death and resurrection of Jesus. The breaking of the scroll's seals, he suggests, symbolizes ensuing earthly judgments. Meanwhile, the mystery of the seven thunders, over which many biblical scholars have puzzled, receives a refreshingly pragmatic interpretation; the pastor argues that since John was instructed to seal up the words of thunder, their precise meaning may not be significant or necessary for us to comprehend.The sermon subsequently signifies the end of the waiting period for the establishment of God’s Kingdom on earth. Pastor Chuck ably correlates this to Old Testament prophecies foretelling of the arrival of the Messiah and the foundation of God's Kingdom, while underscoring the mixed emotions these events might provoke. John's commandment to disseminate the prophecies among diverse groups is open-ended, possibly indicating John's return as one of the two witnesses in the ensuing chapters. In totality, this lesson deeply explores revelations of the role angels, symbolisms, and the importance of Jesus’s reclaimed jurisdiction over the earth, while reminding of the imminent establishment of God's kingdom on Earth. It clarifies, yet leaves room for further discussion on several topics for later lessons.
