THE TRUMPETS OF WOE
Revelation 9:1-21

INTRODUCTION

But, the great tragedy of the tribulation is summed up in verses 20-21:

 
“The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands;  they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk.  Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.”

I. FIRST, NOTICE THE REALITY OF UNBELIEF

A. THE TRAGEDY OF UNBELIEF IS AS OLD AS MAN

B. THE TRAGEDY OF UNBELIEF IS AS MODERN AS TODAY

II. NEXT, NOTICE THE REASONS FOR UNBELIEF

A. SOME PEOPLE ARE WAITING FOR A SIGN

B. SOME ARE SEEKING AFTER WISDOM

C. SOME MAKE THEIR OWN GODS

D. SOME BECOME SO HARDENED THEY CANNOT BELIEVE

III. NOTICE THE RESULTS OF UNBELIEF

A. IT DOOMS MEN TO DESTRUCTION

B. UNBELIEF HINDERS THE WORK OF CHRIST

 

CONCLUSION

   THINGS ARE NOT GOING TO GET BETTER IN THIS WORLD FROM THE STANDPOINT OF PEOPLE BELIEVING AND OBEYING GOD.  THINGS WILL ONLY GET WORSE AS TIME MARCHES ON.
However, this can be the finest hour for every born-again, spirit-filled Christian.
