DAY 7 OF 14

Observe & Interpret

1. Read: Revelation 10.1-11. Summarize this passage in your own words.

2. How is the scroll described in this passage different from the one seen in Revelation 5.1-5? What seems to be the likely content of this “little scroll”?

3. What does it mean that the Word of God is both bitter and sweet? See also 2 Corinthians 2.14-17 and 2 Timothy 4.1-5.

4. Read Revelation 11.1-4. What is significant about John’s responsibility to measure the temple? See also Zechariah 2.1-3. What is significant about these two witnesses being described as olive trees and lamp stands? See also Zechariah 4.2-14.

5. Read Revelation 11.15-19. Why are the 24 elders giving thanks to God? Why are they grateful for the upcoming judgment of God? See also Revelation 20.11-15.

Apply

1. What difficulties do you currently face as you strive to faithfully follow and proclaim the Word of God in daily life? How have God’s promises in Revelation affected your perspective and practice in this pursuit?

2. Prayerfully determine the main biblical truth or principle that God revealed to you during your study. A few questions to ask are: Is there a promise for me to claim? Is there a truth for me to believe? Is there a command for me to obey?

3. Memorize: Revelation 11.17 “We give you thanks, Lord God, the All-Powerful, the one who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and begun to reign.”

About this Plan

Alpha & Omega

The Revelation of Jesus Christ is a book about what will happen in the future; but perhaps more importantly, it’s a book about who controls the future. More than sixty years after Jesus rose from the dead, He appears once again to His disciple John to tell him about the things to come. John sees Jesus in a whole new way: He is now risen, glorified, and clearly in charge of the universe. Jesus is Lord of everyone, everywhere, forever. The question for you and me is whether we will trust Him with our lives, believing that He holds both the present and the future in His all-powerful and loving hands.
