Wisdom for the Heart: Audio

Questions abound regarding the future event theologians call "The Tribulation"—questions such as: Will it last for 3½ years or 7 years? Is it figurative or literal? Will Christians suffer through it? In this message Stephen surveys the diverse responses to these questions and brings us what he believes are the most biblically consistent and logical answers.

Scripture tells us that one day every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. In Revelation 5:11-14, that is exactly what happens. But it isn’t just men and women singing praise to God . . . animals are singing praise as well! This is a worship service you don’t want to miss!

Revelation 5:8-10 is an incredible passage: John takes us to a heavenly worship service where Jesus is finally getting the praise He deserves. Four beasts and twenty-four elders fall on their faces before Christ and worship Him for the work He did on the cross. Will you do the same today?

There is a secret scroll in heaven and it is sealed with seven seals. An angel calls out, “Who is worthy to open the scroll?” No one comes forth. Abraham, Moses, and David are there but they aren’t worthy to open it. Martin Luther and Charles Spurgeon are there . . . but they aren’t worthy either. The tension is rising. Is anyone in heaven or on earth or under the earth worthy?

The vision of heaven that John gives us in Revelation 4 is nothing like those we see on television or even imagine in our minds. His poetic imagery is peculiar and almost fantastical at first sight. But as Stephen helps us envision this heavenly scene, our eyes will be opened to the incredible reality of it.

Why don’t we as Christians think about heaven more often? It seems the only times we stop to consider heaven is when a friend or loved one dies or when we’re singing hymns like “I’ll Fly Away.” Well, in this message Stephen gives us a vision of heaven that will dramatically increase our desire for it. Once we see what the Apostle John saw in Revelation 4:1-3, our thoughts of heaven will never be the same.
