  3. Choruses (1-6) • Why • God will be victorious over the prideful • Not in merely conquering but in liberating When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. They cried out with a loud voice, "O Sovereign Lord, holy and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been. Rev 6:9-11 (ESV)

  4. Connotations (7-15) The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb. Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. Ps 19:7-11 ESV • Path = a sure destination; Way = actions, conduct • What’s in a name? • 2 kinds of sins: against God and against other persons • Rev 19:1-3 – Justice is cause for rejoicing • Judgments-Forgiveness • Judgments-Rules Ps 19:7-11 • No rules, no fun • No judgments, no righteousness

  5. Connotations (7-15) • The consuming fire of God’s wrath is in the wake of His judgments • Fire consumes (14) • Fire purifies (15) = no boasting (12) Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure. Phil 2:12-13 (ESV)

  6. Crucifixions (16-19) • Learn-Discipline (disciple) Heb12:5-13 • “in distress they sought . . .” • “Like a pregnant woman” (expectation) • ”give birth to wind”/”accomplished nothing” • “Your dead shall live” (Matt 27:50-53) • V. 16 “Your discipline was upon them”

  7. Contemplations (20-21) • Rev 19 is coming • Is the current world situation (economic/natural disasters) God’s judgment or discipline • Learn to see both • God’s judgments are the controlled burn • God’s wrath will consume the unrepentant
