1. "I want to ask you a question before I get started this morning because I want to share a little bit of my journey into this sermon, but I want to ask you this. What is your attitude toward Revelation? Don't answer out loud, just in your mind. What's your attitude toward the book of Revelation? Well, let me tell you a little bit. As a 15-year-old teenager that just received Christ as his Lord and Savior, I began my journey to read Revelation. I made it through the first chapter and I said, not for me. And then for many, many, many years, I avoided that. And when I became a pastor, it was time that I have to preach the whole counsel of God, but I avoided revelation." [48:39]
2. "I used to see Revelation as a picture book. And now, I mean, as a puzzle book. I had to find out all those little mysteries. Like last week, when Angel was sharing with us about the locusts, and the scorpion tail, and the face like a man, and the hair like a woman, and the crown, and all of that, I used to think, I got to find out what that crown's about. I got to find out why they've got a tail of a scorpion, and they're a locust, and they don't eat greens. I had to find out all of that stuff. And that was me. I had to fix the puzzle. I had to find out. But it's really a picture book." [50:14]
3. "How many of you have someone that you know in your life that does not know Christ, has not come to Christ as Lord and Savior? I didn't say they weren't a good person, but you know them. And I would say right now, God has placed somebody in your mind that needs to know Christ. How many of you would raise your right hand and say, I know somebody that needs to hear? The gospel. I do. I do. So there's your assignment. Just like John got an assignment. Go tell them. Go tell. doesn't say save them. It says tell them. It's up to them whether they accept Christ or not." [01:26:37]
4. "I have to ask myself, I'm reading through chapter nine. I'm going this question. Is God still in control with all the chaos that's going on? And we have to ask ourselves today, is God still on the throne? Is God still in control? And that's what Revelation chapter 10 is about. It's about the control." [53:39]

1. "God's word is sweet. And when we as Christians devour this word, when we eat, we feast on God's word, it's sweet for us. Because he says, in your mouth, John was Christian and in his mouth. So what did John do? He took the little scroll from the angel's hand. He ate it. It tasted sweet as honey in his mouth. But when he had eaten it, his stomach turned sour. I have to say, this is great. This is fabulous. It is sweet in a Christian's mouth. But also it has something else to it. Another effect. When we think about the way the world's going to be and where we're going, when we think about that, it should turn our stomach." [01:24:12]

3. "This angel has this scroll. What scroll is on? What's on this scroll? Well, if we go back to chapter 5 of Revelation, we find John's in the throne room. God's holding a book. A scroll. A seven-sealed scroll to be exact. And they looked on earth. They looked under the earth. They looked in the whole universe. And they could not find anybody to open that scroll. John begins to cry because they can't open the scroll. And Jesus Christ steps from the right hand of God the Father. He takes the scroll out of God's right hand. And he opens the book. And it causes immediate celebration. And it also causes immediate worship. Everybody falls down on their face. And worships God, Christ. Because he can open the book." [01:05:42]
