Good Evening Girls -
Sorry this is also late but my wonderful husband worked from home today and my quiet time was without computer access. I am really loving this study and enjoying being challenged to look to scripture for answers! Let's pray before we get started!
Lord - Praise you for today! Praise you for this hint of the spring to come and for the wonderful time outdoors today! Praise you for being present in our lives even when we feel not worthy! Praise you for guarding our lips and for using us to do you work here on earth. We look for you everywhere today - not just in the Word and our hearts where you live always but in nature and our children. We just love seeing what you will bring before us. Today we praise you for the wonderful men in our lives who love us - they truely are a gift! We love you and celebrate you today! AMEN
This is the verse from my devotional today - so awesome! Had to share!
"Though the mountains be shaken
and the hills be removed,
yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken
nor my covenant of peace be removed,”
says the LORD, who has compassion on you." Isaiah 54:10
Ok - lets look at some homework. Try to drown the world out and focus on whats before us. We have such little time to study - so put on some praise music and let's study! You can do it!
Question 4
Read Revelation 9:13-21. What were the angels released to do according to verse 15?
Revelation 9:13-21 (New International Version, ©2010)
13 The sixth angel sounded his trumpet, and I heard a voice coming from the four horns of the golden altar that is before God. 14 It said to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 And the four angels who had been kept ready for this very hour and day and month and year were released to kill a third of mankind. 16 The number of the mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand. I heard their number.
17 The horses and riders I saw in my vision looked like this: Their breastplates were fiery red, dark blue, and yellow as sulfur. The heads of the horses resembled the heads of lions, and out of their mouths came fire, smoke and sulfur. 18 A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths. 19 The power of the horses was in their mouths and in their tails; for their tails were like snakes, having heads with which they inflict injury.
20 The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. 21 Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.
My thoughts - The angels were released to kill 1/3 of the people on earth. This confirms that even evil forces must observe God's timing. That is so awesome to me! The Lord reigns over EVERYONE!
Question 5
What event is recorded in the following verse?
"A third of mankind was killed by the three plagues of fire, smoke and sulfur that came out of their mouths." Revelation 9:18
My thoughts - This verse confirms that 1/3 of the earth was killed by the three plagues described previously.
My study bible notes the following on v. 17-19: The riders had armor in colors that matched the plagues of their horses, with RED for FIRE, BLUE for SMOKE, and YELLOW for SULFUR - all of which are signs of judgement in Scripture. Please research the following for references to this: Rev 14:10-11, Rev 19:20, Gen 19:24-28, Ps 11:6, Ezek 38:22, Luke 17:29).
Love you girls and I will see all of you Wednesday AT MY HOUSE NOT WENDY'S!
