The seals described in Chapter 6 symbolize times of trouble and persecution that must not only happen in the future but also play out as commonplace occurrences in a fallen world opposed to Jesus. In other words, these are not only part of some “great tribulation” that will come upon the world, but something the original audience in Asia Minor experienced because they named the name of Christ. What is the overall theme of Chapter 6? As followers of Jesus, we will suffer both persecution and possible martyrdom. It may seem that God is not vindicating those who have suffered now, but He will execute His justice on that final day. Today, we often cry out for justice when we have been victims of injustice. Here’s the hard reality: In this life, those who sin may not receive justice through an imperfect government or authority structure. But that does not mean they will never receive justice. It is delayed until that Final day. In the meantime, we should endure with patience, knowing that God is sovereignly in control of all things and will bring history to a close on His appointed timetable.   Sean’s newest book has just been released: Understanding Christianity: Biblical Answers to Life’s Most Important Questions You can purchase it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HC7WTLQZ?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title         Sean has published four other books: Compassionate Calvinism: Defending the Doctrines of Grace Without Being a Jerk   You can purchase it here: https://www.amazon.com/Compassionate-Calvinism-Defending-Doctrines-Without-ebook/dp/B0FZDNLGK4/ref=sr_1_1 30 Days of Praying the Scriptures:  https://bit.ly/49XaYQN   40 Days in Philippians: Finding Joy in Jesus:  https://tinyurl.com/2s6dn8vr     Your Identity in the Trinity: Discovering God’s Grace in the Gospel:  https://rb.gy/yoa223     VISIT OUR WEBSITE:   www.seancole.net   FOLLOW on:   Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/understanding-christianity/id979729949   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5F5IniTefWZPu2DjaazxPc?si=c37f71675a6e4321   FOLLOW US ON OUR SOCIALS:   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@emmanuelbaptistchurch-ster4705   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sean.cole.16144   Twitter/X: https://x.com/sdcole

What is the civil government’s role? What is the church's role? How do these two spheres relate? The current debates and discussions in evangelicalism about Christian Nationalism, Two Kingdom theology, and theonomy can be extremely confusing.

Philadelphia—the beloved church that held fast and served as a godly example and witness.

Thyatira was the seduced church with the false prophetess who tempted them to engage in worldly behavior and to not stay true to God’s Word. Sardis was the church in name only—it had the reputation of being alive, but was dead.    Sean has published four other books: Compassionate Calvinism: Defending the Doctrines of Grace Without Being a Jerk   You can purchase it here: https://www.amazon.com/Compassionate-Calvinism-Defending-Doctrines-Without-ebook/dp/B0FZDNLGK4/ref=sr_1_1 30 Days of Praying the Scriptures:  https://bit.ly/49XaYQN   40 Days in Philippians: Finding Joy in Jesus:  https://tinyurl.com/2s6dn8vr     Your Identity in the Trinity: Discovering God’s Grace in the Gospel:  https://rb.gy/yoa223     VISIT OUR WEBSITE:   www.seancole.net   FOLLOW on:   Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/understanding-christianity/id979729949   Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5F5IniTefWZPu2DjaazxPc?si=c37f71675a6e4321   FOLLOW US ON OUR SOCIALS:   YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@emmanuelbaptistchurch-ster4705   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sean.cole.16144   Twitter/X: https://x.com/sdcole
