Revelation 6:12a ‘The sun turned black like sack-cloth made of goat’s hair, the whole moon turned blood-red and the stars in the sky fell to earth, as late figs drop from a fig tree when shaken by a strong wind. The sky receded like a scroll rolling up and every mountain and island was removed from its place.’
Please be warned that this is a tough verse!
This dramatic description of the end-time cosmological disturbances is a fitting prelude to the return of King Jesus in power and glory.
Isaiah emphasises the wrath of God. I appreciate that the wrath of God is a difficult thing to accept for some people.
Isaiah 13:13 ‘Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will shake from its place at the wrath of the Lord Almighty, in the day of his burning anger.’
God has made clear the truth about Himself by His perfect creation. The universe, and everything within it, sings without ceasing of His glory!
Psalm 19:1 ‘The heavens declare the glory of God, the skies proclaim the work of his hands.’
If man, in his utter arrogance, denies God the creator, then they reveal their self-centred godlessness and wickedness and they deserve the righteous wrath of God.
God has created the most magnificent of worlds for His children to dwell in. But yet, in His righteous anger, He will bring it all down upon those who refuse to accept His grace and mercy.
When the sky recoils like a scroll, and every mountain and island is removed from its place, then even the most wicked of men will realise too late that God is the source of all creation after all.
In fear, they will head for the caves and rocks.
Prayin this morning that they will know God the creator beforehand.

Revelation 22:20 Our cherished hope
There will be a unity of heart when everyone calls out for his glorious return. There will be a spirit of grace upon God’s people that will bring us all together in unity and brotherhood.
Revelation 22:16 God’s Word
No-one has a monopoly on the truths of this magnificent book, and we will all have our struggles and misunderstandings on our journey, but God is demanding that we treat Revelation with the utmost respect that it deserves. The truths that were sealed in Daniel’s time will be opened up according to God’s direction. This…
Revelation 22:11 In or Out…
Even at this late stage, a reference to the polarity of mankind, between the righteous and the unrighteous. One thinks of Noah’s Ark, and the obedient who were safe inside and those who chose to ignore Noah’s call for righteousness and stayed outside.
