Sermon on Revelation 10-11: The Witness of the Church
18 Mar 2008 - 13:59 — by IFES EuropeIntroduction
The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons and idols. They did not repent. The plagues God brought over the world did not lead to the repentance of the world. Plagues like those in the days of Mose and Pharaoh, demonstrating who has the ultimate power on earth; power over land and sea, power over people and nature, power over history and nations. Plagues that shake the earth and shake the idols. Plagues, intended to call people to repentance and to worship the one true God. But as in the days of Pharaoh... they still did not repent. They continued worshiping demons and idols instead of the living God. That is the situation in The Book of Revelation at the end of the ninth chapter.
