First Baptist Bible 6/15/21

A VOICE LIKE A TRUMPET

Revelation 1:10-17 and Revelation 1:17-2

When the Lord Jesus descends from heaven to remove His church from the

earth, He will come with a shout. And the shout will be so distinctive that it

will sound like a war trumpet. First Thessalonians 4:16 tells us His voice will

be like an archangel, but it will be Jesus’ own voice. John hears the voice

and turns to see Jesus standing there, saying to him, “Write what you see in

a book and send it to the seven churches ….”

Jesus Christ’s appearance to John, with white hair and eyes of fire, speaks

of His eternal existence. He is the “Ancient of Days” (Daniel 7:9). His

penetrating insight and eyewitness speaks of His total knowledge of the life

of the church. He knows all about us, all about our churches—for good and

for bad.
