#soap # Revelation 06 ## Title: All Things Belong to the World ## Scripture: (Revelation 6:1) I looked on when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a thunderous voice, “Come!” (NET) ## Observation: The early church was suffering under persecution by the Romans. They likely felt so little compared to the power of the Roman government. Revelation encourages them that, while it looks one way on Earth, it is very different in Heaven. Jesus is truly in charge and will redeem all things. In that culture, a deed to land was sealed with seven seals. Opening the seals was the final part of the process of taking possession of the land. Jesus had already paid the price. Now, He is taking possession of the land. Jesus is truly King over all. ## Application: Do not allow your heart to be troubled when you see one perspective on Earth. Realize the King is on the Throne and is reigning even now. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being greater than any fear.
