Destruction, Death And The Die-Hard

We can sum up chapter 8 from last week like this:

Silence reveals God’s HOLINESS

Justice reveals God’s WRATH

Limited Wrath reveals God’s Mercy

This morning as we walk examine Revelation

chapter 9 its important to note this is not a chapter

you will find on a greeting card or a coffee cup. It’s

dark. It’s heavy. It’s full of strange images—smoke

from a bottomless pit, locusts that sting like

scorpions, a massive army that kills 1/3 of humanity.
