Revelation week of Jan. 30-Feb. 3
Questions only on #19—The Prayers of the Saints
1.What is Rev. 6:1-8:5 about?
2.What is Exodus 30:1-10 about?
3. Remember John is seeing as beginning what Daniel saw as future. Mark 1:15 says, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel." What does PS say “the kingdom of God is at hand or is near means and what does he say is the proof of this?
4.What does PS say is the central core of Revelation?
Note: *3 sets is significant because on the basis of 2 or 3 witnesses everything is established—therefore, what is prophesied is absolutely certain.
*each set has 7 parts which indicates judgment is not partial & temporary but complete & final by end of final set
*are evident parallels between the 3 sets but there is also a progress from present to final judgments
5. What is the 7th seal?
6.What do harps & incense represent?
7.Give at least 3 scriptural references where incense is associated with prayer.
8. There is also a relationship between incense & sacrifice. Give at least 3 scriptural references for this.
NOTE: Exodus says altar of incense outside entrance to the Holy of Holies, while Heb. 9:3 says it’s inside the Holy of Holies. Why the discrepancy? The altar of incense (prayer) belongs in front of the throne (inside the Holy of Holies). In OT Holy of Holies could only be entered once a year. God in His mercy allowed altar of incense to be outside the veil so that there could be daily access.
NOTE: Only way to have access to the throne by prayer is sacrifice—this is why we pray in name of Jesus.
NOTE: Altar of incense made with wood although it was covered with thin layer of gold. How could one burn things on it? Ez. 31 (? Reference) seems to indicate that coals from altar of burnt offering were brought in censor to altar of incense and this was placed on the altar of incense and incense added to it.
9.Where is the altar of incense located in Revelation?
10.Give three examples from scripture where incense was not burned properly.
11. What does PS say silence in 8:1 is?
12.What is the significance of a half-hour (8:1)?
13.PS says that Rev. is the ultimate of three things. What are they?
14.Why are we commanded to pray for God’s judgment?
15.What are the two cautions in praying for God’s judgment?
16.Anything else you want to discuss?
17.What application did you make?
18.What Psalm did they end with and why?
