Day 84 - Revelation 8-9

The bleak situation described in this part of the book of Revelation continues. There is much destruction, despair, pain, etc. However, the interesting thing to notice not only here, but throughout the book is that these horrific events that are happening on the earth are recorded in between visions of heaven. Also, the listing of these happenings are in conjunction with the acts of the angels of God. The significance of this is that everything that is happening on the earth is under the supervision and control of God. Therefore, those of us who know Him have nothing to fear! Nothing can get to us except for what God allows! This should serve us as a call to trust in our sovereign God.
