Read and Reflect: Revelation 15 & 16
Questions:
- Creation has suffered much through the impact of human sin, and it is ‘creation’ that ‘hands-out’ the plagues – see :15:7. In what way do we see creation suffer?
- How can we be part of the solution and not the problem, bringing joy to, and finding joy in, God’s creation?
- Suffering is common to all of humanity, however much we try to protect ourselves from it. What sympathy and encouragement can we find in Revelation?
- Despite the world’s meltdown (literally with global warming) we are encouraged to stand firm. Read 2 Chronicles 20:17, 1 Corinthians 15:58, Ephesians 6:10-17, Philippians 1:27, 2 Thessalonians 2:15, 1 Peter 5:9 , James 1:12. What encouragement can we take form these verses?
- Judgment sounds terrifying but it is the delivery of justice, which most of us long for. How do we speak the truth in love to ourselves and others on this subject?
