The Silence Before the Storm
As we open to Revelation 8 today, we are going to find again that in each chapter there are incredible insights into our Great God. Each of this book’s 404 verses is like tiny windows into understanding a bit more of our All-Powerful and Almighty God.
Almost every one of the seven teaching truths or “doctrines” that are presented in this chapter are tied to the same doctrines in the other books of the Bible that God has already taught us. Here is what we see taught in Revelation 8:
1. Doctrine of Inspiration: God Designed Revelation to Connect the Rest of the Bible (8:1a)
2. Doctrine of Prayer: God Designed Prayer As our Vital Connection to Him (8:1b-4)
3. Doctrine of Sovereignty: God Connects Our Prayers to His Plan (8:5-6)
4. The Doctrine that: God is the ONLY Giver & Sustainer of Life (8:7)
5. The Doctrine that: God ALONE Holds the Breath of Life in His Hands (8:8-9)
6. The Doctrine that: God EXCLUSIVELY Controls the Water of Life (8:10-11)
7. The Doctrine that: God is THE Source of the Light of Life (8:12)
Now walk with me through each verse as let me explain these doctrines.
