Revelation 16 Commentary There is no intention to repeat the plagues of Egypt but the parallel is clear. The motive is the same. Can the people repent? Of course, they don’t. You guess repentance would do the trick but who cares! How often have we heard people accuse God of negligence when natural disasters come?ContinueContinue reading “Revelation 16 Commentary”

Revelation 15 Commentary
Revelation 15 Commentary Seven churches, seven seals, seven trumpets – John’s love for sevens. It’s a constant reminder not to look for seven plagues. If John had his way, humans would have seven fingers on each hand!Verse 2 talks about “those who had been victorious over the beast and its image and over the numberContinueContinue reading “Revelation 15 Commentary”
Revelation 13 Commentary
Revelation 13 Commentary Let’s keep pace with chapter 12, knowing that the original script didn’t have chapters or verses. These formats are later “management” structures to aid reading and referencing. We closed chapter 12 with the dragon (identified as satan) waging war against the woman’s offspring (the church). 12v17. So the period covered is whatContinueContinue reading “Revelation 13 Commentary”
Revelation 9 Commentary
Revelation 9 Commentary The fifth seal is interesting. Satan comes into the picture. He is given the key or permission to harm the earth. But he cannot touch the sealed saints (verse 4). He mustn’t harm grass, plants, and trees. Yes, he shouldn’t harm nature. The mention of grass and trees may appear to restrictContinueContinue reading “Revelation 9 Commentary”
Revelation 8 Commentary
Revelation 8 Commentary The seventh seal is opened only to reveal another set of seven angelic tasks. What is the Lamb up to now? More trouble for the earth? Probably yes. But first things first; God wants to hear from His servants on the ground. Their prayers are presented and God responds with anger againstContinueContinue reading “Revelation 8 Commentary”
Revelation 7 Commentary
Revelations 7 Commentary In Matthew 24, there is a mention that God would shorten the days of trouble for the sake of the elect. We found more generosity in the promise to the church in Philadelphia: “I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole worldContinueContinue reading “Revelation 7 Commentary”
Revelation 6 Commentary
Revelation 6 Commentary Matthew 24 has the same message but without the visual effects! The graphics in Revelation serve an important purpose: The Lamb has the final say on these events; it is seen in the fact that He is the only one able to open the seals.JESUS [Matthew 24]: The man Jesus speaks ofContinueContinue reading “Revelation 6 Commentary”
Revelation 3c Commentary
Revelation 3c Commentary The LORD Jesus is outside the house and not inside the house with the saint. Very strong imagery!The saint is all by himself, or worse still with another lover inside the house. The LORD Jesus knocks on the door seeking the saint’s attention. It’s still a depressing picture!The saint is doing fine.ContinueContinue reading “Revelation 3c Commentary”
Revelation 3 Commentary
Revelation 3 Commentary When you feel great, you want to want to check your pulse. This feeling might be the kind the Sardisians had. They probably enjoyed healthy social rankings online! Numbers never lied! But Jesus wasn’t impressed. They were a dead church!This letter is as scary as it is encouraging. Amid this life lieContinueContinue reading “Revelation 3 Commentary”
Revelation 2e Commentary
Revelation 2e Commentary The LORD’s message to the church in Thyatira is interesting. Their sin is ‘tolerance’ – probably raising a white flag and declaring a truce against wickedness. Lacking a heart that breeds because the LORD’s name is dishonored by promiscuity, through seduction and manipulation.This letter asks us one important question: What is ourContinueContinue reading “Revelation 2e Commentary”
