Reading for July 1st

 Read Revelation 10.1-11. In 10.1-11.13: John's angelic commission. Encompassed within the sixth trumpet (which ends at 11.14) are two seemingly unrelated scenes of John's encounter with angels; both enact divine protection and thus correlate with the sealing of the saints that was part of seal six (7.17). The cloud, rainbow, and pillars of fire all suggest divine presence (Ex 19.16; 13.21; Gen 9.13). In verse 4: The mysterious seven thunders represents additional hidden revelation, known only to John, and also evoke the promise that the seventh trumpet will bring the promise fulfillment. In verse 10: The little scroll is explicitly said to represent another prophetic announce the revelation of God's judgment and salvation. Comments or Questions..
