Revelation for week of Jan. 2-6, 2006

Questions #15—God Rules
1. What is Rev. 4:1-11 about?


2. What is Daniel 4:1-37 about?


3. What is the foundation of our hope?


4. If Rev. 4 is a vision of God’s throne, what is Rev. 5?


5. Name four other places in scripture where God is seen on His throne.


6. What 3 features of this heavenly throne does PS discuss?


7. What two ways is God’s glory shown in this passage?



NOTE AGAIN: the importance of two witnesses
Deut. 19:15--A single witness shall not rise up against a man on account of any iniquity or any sin which he has committed; on the evidence of two or three witnesses a matter shall be confirmed.
In Rev. 5:9f & 12f both give witness to fact God rules; thus by
these two witnesses we know there is hope for the righteous and
fear for the wicked.
8. What five applications does PS give?
9. What application did you make?
10. Anything else you want to discuss?
11. What Psalm did they sing at the end and why?










Further Discussion:
1.. Remember what Daniel saw as taking place in the future John sees as having already started (1:19 & 4:1) or going to take place quickly.
2. Remember the letters are preceded by a vision of Christ among His churches and this vision is referred back to throughout the letters. In the same way the visions are preceded by Rev. 4 & 5, a vision of God’s throne and of Christ on it.
3. Why does PS list 4 living creatures who are full of eyes as sign of God’s glory?
