Revelation week of Oct. 31 to Nov. 4

Here are the questions for tape 9--Please note you can spread them out and make as much space between questions as you like. There is no need to squish up your answers.

I would like you to try something extra this week (i.e. in addition to the questions on tape 9) and bring it to class THIS WEEK--WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 2. I'm sorry that I didn't get this assignment to you sooner but I was just working on it this weekend and realized it would make a great assignment. It involves reading 3 passages of scripture and thinking. PLEASE DO NOT USE A DICTIONARY OR ANY BIBLE HELPS WITH THIS--TRY TO FIND THE ANSWERS IN THE SCRIPTURE ALONE!!!!!!!!!!!!
1. Read Isaiah 6:1-3--gives a brief description of God on His throne and of seraphim
2. Read Ezekiel 1--gives a long, complicated description of "living beings" which Ezekiel 10:1 identifies as cherubim (verses 1-26)
--also gives a description of God on His throne (verses 26-28)
3. Read Rev. 4--gives a description of God on His throne
4. Questions to think about: (1)Seraphim and Cherubim are two types of angels. Can you tell from these passages what the main difference between them is? I don't want you to discuss how they look different but something else more important (2)I think the "living creatures" in Rev. 4 are angels, either seraphim or cherubim. Do you agree that they are angels and if so which type--cherubim or seraphim? have formed my opinion but I want you to tell me what you think and why.
NOTE: The reason I was looking at this stuff was I was again trying to figure out whether the question I asked about 5 visions of God in scripture was a good one and why most of you were having so much trouble with this question.

Questions #9—Jesus Loves Me, This I Know!

1. What are the two introductions to Revelation, where are they found, and what do they introduce?
2. What 5 things does Rev. 1:5 tell us about Christ?
3. According to Rev. 6a what did Christ make us to be?
4. Whose glory does Christ share?
5. Anything else in this message that you would like to discuss?
6. What application did you make from this message?
7. What Psalm did they sing at the end? Why?
