You know, we saw the four horses. The first
one, of course, was the Lord Jesus Christ going forth conquering
and to conquer. And the first four seals were
all about the horses. The four horses. The one who
took peace from the earth. The one who brought poverty to
the earth and then the one pale horse with death on it. Now tonight
we're going to look at the 5th and 6th seal. And the last
seal won't be open until chapter 8. But you remember this. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the
one opening these seals. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the
one who has all the power. He's opening all these sins.
He's the one who's got the book in His hands. He's the way every
one of these seals that open, Christ is opening it. So that
shows us that Christ has the power over everything that He's
doing. And that these are pictures, these are symbols of things that
represent something else. And never forget that. And so
he's controlling all things and we saw about the horses and everything
that was given to them. You know, they had nothing of
their own, only what was given to them. And tonight we're going
to look at, like I said, the 5th and 6th seal. And the 5th
seal is verse 9. And when he had opened the fifth
seal, I saw unto the altar the souls of them that were slain
for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held.
And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy
and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them
that dwell on the earth? And white robes were given unto
every one of them, and it was said unto them that they should
rest yet for a little season, until those fellow servants also,
and their brethren, that they should be killed as they were,
should be filled. And I beheld, and when he had
opened the sixth hill, And lo, there was a great earthquake,
and the sun became black as sackcloth of air, and the moon became as
blood, and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as
a fig tree casteth her untimely figs when she is shaken of a
mighty wind. And the heaven departed as a
scroll when it is all rolled up together. And every mountain
and island were moved out of their places. And the kings of
the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief
captains, and the mighty men, and every bond, and every free
man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains,
and said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, hide us from
the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath
of the Lamb. For the great day of his wrath
is come, and who shall be able to stand. So the first, the fifth
seal, when it's opened, the first thing he saw was he saw under
the altar the souls of them that were slain. They were slain. They were martyrs. And these
martyrs had a cry. These martyrs wanted God to do
something. And he saw under the altar the
souls of them that were slaughtered. Remember, these are symbols.
There was really no altar there. But in Leviticus 4 and in Exodus
it tells us that when they had the blood and offered the blood
on the brazen altar, they took the blood Leviticus 17.11 tells
us this, that the life of the flesh is in the blood, and it
is the blood that makes the atonement. for the soul. He said, I've given
the blood for the soul. It's the soul. God saves the
soul. We're living souls inhabiting
dying bodies. That's what we are. And so he
saw the souls of these people that were slaughtered under the
altar. And when they would offer the sacrifices, they'd catch
the blood. And then they'd pour the blood underneath the altar. They poured out under the altar.
And so that's the symbol that it's representing here. Their
blood is poured out before God. Their blood is that they've been
sacrificed and slaughtered by men. And he saw that their souls
was, you know, under this altar. And you know, the only thing
that somebody can do, and our Lord said this, He said, don't
fear them that can kill the body, but fear Him who can destroy
the soul. And I tell you, all we've got
to lose is the body. But oh my, persecutor, all they
can do is kill the body, they cannot hurt the soul. And why
did these who were suffering, why did these who were martyred,
why were they slain? Look what it says, that they
were slain for the Word of God and for the testimony which they
held. Why did they suffer? For the
Word of God. They believed God. They believed
His Word. That Word was more precious to
them than anything in this world, was the Word of God. They know
that God gave it to them. They know that God taught it
to them. They know that it was the Word of God itself. It wasn't
words about God. It's not words revealed in God,
it is the Word of God itself. And they said they were slain
for the Word of God. That Word of God was so precious
to them, and so powerful to them, and worked effectually in them,
that they said, I would rather die as to deny God's Word. And I tell you, if you ever read
Foxe's Book of Martyrs, I mean, they slaughtered Christians by
the thousands. By the thousands. But let me
show you something. First of all, over here in 1
Thessalonians chapter 2 and verse 13, about the Word of God. 1 Thessalonians chapter 2 and verse
13. Oh, they didn't, it wasn't the
Word of men. If it wasn't the word of men,
I've told you about Polycarp. He was a disciple of John. John here who God sent all these
visions. He knew John. And they took him
to kill him one time and he was in his nineties just like John
was. And they took him to kill him and he said, if you'll deny,
King Jesus, you deny your profession of faith and said, we'll spare
you. He said, after he has been faithful to me all my life, you
think I would be unfaithful to him in my dying hour? So they
killed him. And that's what John was on here
for. Look what he said here in verse
13. 1 Thessalonians 2.13. For this cause also thank we
God, without ceasing, because when you received the word of
God, which you heard of us, you received it not as the word of
men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, and now listen to
this, which effectually worketh in you that believe. I mean,
it gets the job done. And it did the job for these
people. They were slain for the Word of God. And then it says
over here again, not only were they slain for the Word of God,
but for the testimony that they held. What was the testimony
that they held? It was the testimony that the
Lord Jesus Christ and their salvation was entirely by Him. We didn't
save ourselves. We can't keep ourselves saved.
And I would rather lose my life as lose my soul. And I believe
that Jesus Christ is all. I believe that Jesus Christ died
for my sin, washed me from my sin, died for my sin, rose again
for my justification, and sits in God's right hand for me right
now with all power and authority. You may take my life, but God
will venge you one of these days for what you do. I mean, they
believe Christ. Look what it said here in Revelations
1 and 9. Look what John himself said. Oh my! Paul said, I believed, therefore
have I spoken. Whatever you believe, that's
what's coming out of your mouth. If you're a free will, a free
will's coming out of your mouth. If you believe grace, grace coming
out of your mouth. If salvation's in the Lord, salvation
in the Lord's coming out of your mouth. If you're saved and everything
you've got's by Christ, that's coming out of your mouth. For
what's in that heart, that's what's coming out. God put in
our hearts so deep, stamp our hearts so deep with his blessed
word that he, David said it like this, I've hid thy word in my
heart. that I might not sin against
you. And we'll read about that over
here in Revelations a little bit here about that book. But
look what John said here in 1st chapter 1 verse 9. I, John, who also am your brother
and companion in tribulation and in the kingdom and patience
of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos. Now what
are you doing there, John? For the Word of God. And for
the testimony of Jesus Christ. Oh my! There was their confession
of faith. Their confession of faith in
Christ. Salvation by Him. Oh my! Could we ever deny Him? Oh! And then look what John heard
now when he saw those souls that were slain. For the word of God
and for the testimony they held. And these souls under that altar,
they cried with a loud voice. And they were saying, and listen
to this, look how they describe God. They cried with a loud voice
saying, how long? And the first word out of their
mouth is, oh Lord. These are people in glory. These
are people that's died for the cause of Christ. And they said,
Oh Lord, you're Lord. You're sovereign. You got all
power in heaven and earth. Then he said, You're holy. You're
holy. You're a holy God. Holy in three
persons. Holy, holy, holy, holy is the
Lord God. And then look what else have
they described. Oh Lord, how long? Holy and true. You're Lord, you're holy and
you're true. They cried to Him as He is. He read that 51st Psalm tonight. God said, you know this thief
comes along and he takes something. And he goes off and he slanders
his brother. That would be like me slandering
my brothers in Christ. To go around slandering them
and gossiping them and saying bad things about them. And he
said, just because you thought I didn't say nothing to you about
it, because I never rebuked you for it, I let you get by with
it. He said, I'll tell you what conclusion
you come to. You thought I was like yourself.
And that's what men come to. They come to the conclusion because
God lets them get by with something. God, if I, listen, if this is
wrong, strike me down. The very fact that you got to
say that tells you wrong. But I'm telling you, that's what
they think. But these people, they know God
as He is. They start out describing God
and talking to God. And their voice is crying out
for vengeance. Their voice is like Cain. When
Cain slew his brother, God said, Thy voice of thy brother's blood
cries out to me. And these people's blood was crying
out to God. And oh, listen, they cried to
Him as He is. This is the true God. And they
never resisted unto blood. They sacrificed themselves for
God's truth, for God's testimony. And they didn't seek vengeance.
No, no. They didn't seek vengeance. They
left it up to Him. They said, Lord, how long before
You? You judge and you avenge our blood on the earth. Oh listen, vengeance belongs
unto God. I learned this early on, early
on, early on, even as a young man. If anybody wrongs you in
any way, never, never, never defend yourself. If you ain't
got brothers and sisters and people that know you, that'll
stand up for you, it won't do no good for you to defend yourself.
Just take whatever's wrong and keep your mouth shut. And say,
Lord, you do it. You deal with them. You deal
with them. And believe me, in His time, He will. You know,
one thing that blesses my heart is, no matter what anybody's
doing, there's nobody getting by with nothing. Huh? Nobody's getting by with nothing.
And all of these bloods cried out to God. And he said, How
long dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that
dwell on the earth? These are people that defy the
one true and living God. I mean they burn people at the
stake one after another. They would put people on the
racks and that rack is a, they stretch them out like this here
and tie them down. And they had a big wheel and
this fellow just keep turning that wheel. And as they turn
that wheel, your arms start falling out of socket and your legs start
coming out of socket. And they keep pulling until your
arms come completely off and your legs come completely off.
And they said, they're doing God a service. He's getting rid
of all these people. Oh, to defy the true and living
God? To challenge Him by persecuting
His people? And yet God said that you offend
one of these little ones for whom I died, it would be better
for him to have a millstone thrown around his neck and thrown into
the depths of the sea. He said that will be easier for
him than what I'm going to do. And oh my God in righteousness
will avenge His people? And He said, Oh avenge our blood
on them that dwell on the earth. Oh dust, flesh, earth dwellers
take it upon themselves to defy God Almighty. The first thing
you do when you start preaching God as He is and reveal Him as
He is, the first thing people say, Oh who are thou? Who in the world do you think
you are? Paul said, who are you to reply against God? To set
in judgment on God? To say what you think God could
do or should do or not do? To set in judgment on God and
say, you can do this, you can do that, and you can do something
else, but don't do this and you can't do that? Well, these people's
blood, they come up before the throne, come up before God. Christ opened this, and He said,
listen to the cries of these people. Thousands upon thousands
upon millions of them there. The first martyr was Abel. And you know what he was martyred
for, slain by his brother? Because he believed in blood
sacrifice. He believed in a lamb. He believed
he was a sinner. And he was accepted of God. And
God declared him righteous. And Cain wanted to come with
the works of his hands. And Cain didn't like the way
God done things. And God avenged Abel's blood
on Cain. I tell you, God's going to avenge
the blood of all ages, all the blood of his people of all the
ages one of these days. You know over in Luke 18, I won't
have you look there, but you remember that old unjust judge.
That woman just kept aggravating him until he said, finally, well
I'll do what you want. And our Lord said, hear what
this unjudged saith. He said, Shall not God avenge
his elect who cry unto him day and night? Oh, He's going to
avenge them. And look what happened to them
here now in verse 11. Oh my! And white robes were given
unto every one of them. Oh, they thought, boy, we're
putting these people out of business. And they get up there and God
gives them a white robe. And He can give it to every single
one of them. Oh, listen, John didn't get a
prettier white robe than the rest of them did. John, all the
smarters, no matter who it was, Paul was slain for Christ. Peter
was slain for Christ. James was slain in Acts chapter
5. So many people were slain. But
when they get there, the scripture said he gave them a white robe
to every one of them. Oh my, white robes, righteousness,
holiness, victory, glorious wedding garment, joy and rejoicing. And
look what God said to them here said now. And it was said unto
them that they should rest for a little season. Rest. Just rest. They were assured
that their prayers would be answered. He said rest for a little season.
Huh? They were assured their prayers
were going to be answered. Look in Revelations 14 and verse
13 for a moment here. Look here and see what it says
over here about rest. Oh my. And I heard a voice from heaven
saying unto me, Write, John, this is what I want you to write
down. Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth. Yea, saith the Spirit, that they
may rest from their labors. God said over here, the Lord
said back here in Revelation 6, rest, rest. for a little season and rest
until this until your fellow servants also and their brethren
now listen to this that they should be killed that should
be killed there's a lot more people yet going to be killed
that they should be killed as they were when that's all done
should be fulfilled he said you rest till that's done And that's
what he's saying, you rest for a little season until all of
God's elect and the number of the martyrs is full, that was
fixed by God's decrees and the next thing that happens is judgment. God does come to avenge. Look
at the sixth seal. And I beheld when he had opened
the sixth seal, And lo, there was a great earthquake, and the
sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became
as blood. Stars of heaven fell unto earth,
even as a fig tree cast her untimely figs, when she shaken of a mighty
wind. The heaven departed as a scroll
when it swirled together, and every mountain and island were
moved out of their places. Now this is the final judgment.
You know I told you at the outset that you had Christ coming Then
you had the gospel on the earth. You had the suffering and the
persecution. And then Christ comes in judgment. And we're
going to go through the same thing again. Christ comes. We live on the earth. Great persecution. And then Christ comes again in
judgment. And that just over and over and over is what we
see. The same thing over and over. The gospel, being priests,
and the fruits of the gospel. Now here's the final judgment.
Here's the final judgment. And when this seal is opened,
we see the dread, we see the terror of the great final day. Christ is coming now. Judgment
is coming. And all the saints are in glory.
And here we have a two-fold symbol. Two-fold symbol. First of all,
you see the earth crashing. Falling all to pieces. The universe
and everything about it just comes falling down. The second
thing is the human race, and oh my, is terrified and judgments
come upon them. And this is the only thing that
will terrify the wicked. You know in Revelations 13 and
8, let's look at that a minute, 13, 18. Let's look here at Revelations
13, 18. Let me look at this before I
get started. Talking about six, the sixth
seal. The sixth seal. And you know here it says, here
is wisdom, let him that hath understanding count the number
of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and the number six
hundred three score and six. So when we have this sixth seal
open, six is the number of man. Man was created on the sixth
day. And so when you talk about the beast, he's a man. That's
all he is. He's a man. And here is man. He's created on the sixth day.
And I will show you this this way. When we go down through
here, we'll see six objects about creation described. Six objects
about creation described. And then you have six types of
men that judgment comes upon. And so let's start at the first
one. First of all there in verse 12 it says, And I beheld when
he opened the sixth hill, and there was a great earthquake.
A great earthquake. You know our Lord said, you know
when the signs of his coming was that there would be earthquakes,
great earthquakes. And this time in the judgment
there's a great earthquake. The earth rising and crawling
and bumping and turning and rising and falling and big gaps coming
in. The earth is just cracking all
over the place. And that shows you God's power
and anger. That earthquake just comes and
it's all over the whole earth. No matter where you go, there's
going to be an earthquake. Now we're not going to be here,
you know, I'll tell you when this judgment comes. And then
look what else he says now. And the sun becomes black as
sackcloth. The sun's going to be blotted
out. That's what he's talking about. You remember when our
Lord Jesus Christ was on the cross? The sun refused to shine. It turned black, dark during
that time. Well, I'll tell you, will the
sun be blotted out? God will say, I'm going to blot
out the sun. I'm going to make it dark. They love darkness. They delight in darkness. I'm
going to make it dark for them. And he'll blot out the sun. And
then the moon turns to blood. And that means the blue moon
turns to the color of blood. It turns red looking. And they
look up to the moon. And there's the sun. There's
no sun. And they look up at the moon at night. And it just looks
like the color of blood. It's red. Oh my, and I tell you,
things that were constant, things that were fixed, things that
men find comfort in. I find comfort in getting up
in the morning and seeing that sun shining, going out and sitting
on the porch having a cup of coffee, seeing that sun, that
warm sun shining on you and warming you up. Love it. But I tell you what, things that
been are constant and fixed and find great company, it stops
just like that. We have here what we have as
a symbol, symbolic of the picture of the terror of the judgment
day. And it will be terrible. And look what else it says there
now. See we've seen an earthquake, the sun, and the moon. That's
three things already. Look here at the fourth thing,
and the stars of heaven fell unto the earth. God's going to shake the stars
out of their courses. You know now they tell me, I'm
no astrologer, I don't know anything about it. But they say the stars that you're
looking at don't even exist anymore, that they've already burned out
and the light just hasn't gone out yet, because the light has
traveled so far. But I know this, when God says
the stars fall out of heaven, He's going to make the stars
Himself. And you know there are stars bigger than the earth,
but He's going to cause them stars to start falling. People
are going to look around, stars. These are just symbolic. But
I mean, this will show us that the heavens are going to be shaken.
The earth is going to be shaken. Everything is going to be out
of course. People are going to be, oh my. And whatever this
means, this stresses the terror, the terror of that day. Look
over here and I think it's 2 Peter chapter 3 verse 10. Let me show
you something over here. Look what it says here. Talking
about this day. This day of judgment. Look what he says here, 2 Peter
3.10. But the day of the Lord will
come as a thief in the night. What it means is that they're
not going to expect it. They're not looking for it. They're
not planning for it. In which the heavens shall pass
away with a great noise, earthquakes, stars falling, The heavens shall
pass away with a great noise and the elements shall melt with
fervent heat. And the earth also and the works
therein shall be burned up. Well that's what God's doing
here. Now back over here in Revelation 6, look what he tells us. He
says the stars fall from heaven, fall under the earth, even as
a fig tree casts her untimely figs when she's shaken of a mighty
wind. It's just showing us the terror that man's going to go
through. It's going to be awful. And then look what else it says
now. And the heaven departed as a scroll when it's rolled
up. He said he's going to just roll up the heavens like rolling
up a scroll. He's going to roll it up. Huh?
He's going to roll it up. And you know what? I'm going
to show you a place where that's in the Old Testament. Isaiah
34. This has been mentioned before,
Isaiah 34. And you know, here's the thing. This is judgment on the earth
and the wicked men on the earth. Our judgment's already passed.
Our judgment's done. Our judgment's done. But look
what he said here in Isaiah 34 in verse 4. And all the host of heaven shall
be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a
scroll, and all their host shall fall down as the leaf falleth
from off the vine, as a falling fig from the fig tree. That's what God says. They're
going to roll it up like a scroll. He's just going to take the heavens
and just roll them up like a scroll. Over in Hebrews it says, you
know, He said, Lord, you've laid the foundation of the earth and
the works therein. He said, you've done it, but
you know what you're going to do? He said, you're going to
take the foundation, you're going to take all the works of this
world, and you're going to take it like it's an old garment,
An old garment, an old rotten garment, you're going to fold
it up, and you're going to put it away, and there's going to
be a new heaven and a new earth. That's what he's going to do.
He's going to fold this thing up like it's an old used garment,
an old rotten garment, and put it away. And put it away. And there'll be a new heaven
and a new earth. Now look what he said now. Heaven
will be rolled up as a piece of a scroll. And listen to this
now. Here's the sixth thing about
this creation. And every mountain and every
island will be moved out of their places. Why will they be moved
out of their places? Because of the earthquake. Nothing is going to be where
it's supposed to be. Everything is going to be out of counter.
Men are going to be looking everywhere. How's all this happening? What's
going on here? Oh, the world is falling to pieces
is what it's telling us here. The world is falling to pieces.
I feel like it's falling to pieces right in front of my very eyes.
I feel like the world's falling all to pieces right in front
of my eyes. I feel like the world's going to hell. It's like something
going down a mountain. I used to get, when I was a boy
in North Carolina, we'd get up on a mountain, we'd get a big
rock. And we'd get a big rock and we'd set that thing up and
we'd turn that rock loose and it'd go zzzzzz. Whoa! It'd just
go flying down like that. It'd go rolling down that mountain.
And we'd hope it wouldn't hit nobody's house or nothing, but
it'd go way down there. Doing all kinds of things like
that. But I feel like the world's falling to pieces right in front
of our very eyes. But the Scriptures tell us houses
will crumble, be no sun, everything's out of place. And when the world
says everything's out of place, and what a picture of dread,
what a picture of despair, what confusion, what misery awaits
the wicked. So there's six things about creation.
Now look at the six classes of men upon whom judgment is going
to come. Look at these six classes of
men. First of all, he says, we'll move down to the kings of the
earth. That's the first one he mentions. Kings of the earth. They're sitting on the thrones.
Got on the royal purple robes. They got their crowns on their
head. But oh my, it don't make no difference to God. These are
the dictators, the kings, supreme leaders, rulers of the earth. He said, oh, judgment's coming
on them. And then look what he said, and
then secondly he says, the great men, the princes, people next
in authority, men with great titles, got great titles. People
love their titles. And oh, he said, judgment's coming
on them. And then look here, and he just goes right on down
the list. And the rich men. And the rich men. There is men
that could come. There's men that's so wealthy.
Billions of dollars. And there's something that people
do. People who are rich seem to think that they've got, because
of their wealth, they've got the right to tell the rest of
us what we ought to do. But that there tells me what
I'm going to do. Huh? They can have all their
wealth and I heard Henry say one time when all the money they've
got won't be worth toilet paper when God gets done with them.
It'll be worthless as toilet paper. And I tell you, here he
calls a rich man. Oh, they buy and they sell. and
they brag about how they got their wealth and they're trying
to influence people. They got money and tell you how
to make money. They got people of power and
influence. Then he goes on to say here in
chief captains. These are military leaders. These
are the generals. These are the powerful people.
These are generals. These are despots. These are
people that if the rumor ain't good, they'll come in and take
over. These are the generals. These are the fellas when you
see them. We was in a restaurant one time up in Norfolk, Virginia.
And there was a table sitting there about seven or eight men
sitting there. Navy men and Marines. And them
fellas, I'm telling you, they were somebody. They had on these
beautiful uniforms and they had braids, golden braids all the
way up their arms and big things on their, you know, big old salad
bars on their things, you know, and epaulets on. Oh my goodness,
they were, I mean, I was impressed. I really was. When I got out
of the Marine Corps, they took a stripe away from me. I got
out and minus one stripe. Because I didn't like the way
they talked to me. I was a smart aleck. I really
was. I wouldn't even let them big shots
talk to me like that. So I said, well, if you don't
like it, just give me that. Taking more money away from you.
Go ahead. Go ahead. I'm getting out. But
anyway, these chief captains, these military leaders, I'll
tell you another story. The day I was leaving the Marine
Corps, I was leaving the Philadelphia Naval Hospital the day that I
was being sent home. I had everything that I owned
walking out of there. And I went in and gave them my
papers and the door is right there and I start out the door.
This lieutenant come in. This lieutenant, Goldbar. They have a Goldbar lieutenant
and a Silverbar lieutenant. The first Goldbar is a fellow,
he's the lowest officer they are. Lowest on the totem pole. He seen me leaving. And my sideburns
wasn't very long, you know. But he called me to attention. And he said, Marine, what are
you doing? I said, I'm getting out, sir. They're letting me
go. I'm going home. He said, you're not going home until them
sideburns are cut off. And I had to go in the restroom
and cut off my sideburns. And he watched me when I come
out there. He said, you can go. Now that's the kind of fellow
that's going to face judgment. He had the power to make me do
what he wanted to do. And one of these days, God's
got the power to make them all do what he wants to do. And wants
them to do. They're all chief captains, all
these big shots, you know. They got all that. Then look
what he goes on to say about this. He said in Mighty Man,
Mighty men. You know, you find scriptures
in the people in the Bible. They describe them as mighty
men. When you talk about giants in
the earth in Revelation and Genesis, the giants means that they were
mighty men. They weren't 10, 12 feet tall. They were just giants in the
land. They were mighty men in the land. They were men of giant
intellect and mighty power and influence and ruled over people. And these were mighty men, strong
men. They call them experts. They
influence all. Everybody is an expert. And then
look what else he said now about this. Here's the last ones. Bond
men and free men. A bond man is somebody who is
still yet a slave. He's in bondage to somebody else.
Whether you're a slave to somebody or whether you're a man, that's
free. And these are the lowest classes here. These are down
at the lowest classes. But God starts at the top. Kings. Comes all the way down to the
slaves. And He said, judgments on all of you. That's what He
said. Now look what happens to them.
And all of these men, like seven classes of men, these seven classes
of people, they hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks
and in the mountains. In Isaiah chapter 2, you find
over there, You find people going, hiding in caves, throwing their
silver and gold to bats and everything, everything because the world,
as far as they were concerned, was coming to an end. And they
hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains.
And they talked to the mountains. And they said, mountains and
rocks, look it's capitalized there, fall on us. Fall on us,
just come on, fall on us. Fall on us. Why do you want us
to fall on you? Hide us. Hide us from the face
of that One sitting on His throne. And that Lamb that's sitting
there. He's angry. You know the Lamb. You know Christ is called the
Lamb of God. You don't find an angry Lamb.
But here He said, hide us from the wrath of the Lamb. I mean,
Lord, that man, that one sitting on the throne, hide us from His
wrath. He said, His wrath is so fierce,
His wrath is so powerful, His wrath is so mighty, oh, let us
face anything but that wrath. And look what it says, For the
great day of His wrath has come, and who in the world shall be
able to stand? You know who will be able to
stand? All in Christ. All in Christ. What a judgment
it's going to be. What an awful day it's going
to be. I'm certainly thankful my judgment's done been. I've
done been judged. Done been acquitted. Done faced
the judge. Judge said go free. Go free.
