Reading for April 29th

Read Revelation 9.13-21 In 9.13-11.14: The sixth trumpet. Like the sixth seal, this is a complicated scene with several actions. In 9.13-21: The angels from the Euphrates. The demonic attack continues. The golden altar is the incense altar (8.3). In verse 18: Plagues that do not cause the recipients to repent are both themes from The Exodus story (Ex 8.32; 10.20). In verse 20 The charge that others are worshipping demons and idols shows John's utter rejection of Greco-Roman culture. Comments or Questions..
