October 19, 2025 - Revelation 8:1-4
Welcome to Grace Baptist Church in Iron River, WI. Today is Sunday, October 19, 2025
We are so very grateful for your interest in our Church. We are friendly people who focus on applying God’s truth practically; we are not perfect. We could talk about who we are and how grateful we are; however, to experience God working in Grace Baptist Church, we would love it if you visited us at 10:00 am on Sunday to enjoy our worship service. We hope to see you soon!
Revelation 8:1-4 offers a glimpse into heavenly worship and eternal hope.
Revelation 8:1-5, Psalm 46:10, Habakkuk 2:20
When the seventh seal is opened, heaven falls silent. It's a stillness so profound it echoes the weight of divine anticipation.
The prayers of the saints, like incense, rise before God’s throne, showing that heaven moves in response to the cries of God’s people. Then an angel fills the golden censer with fire from the altar and hurls it to the earth, a signal that God’s mercy is giving way to righteous judgment.
Thunder, lightning, and earthquakes follow; the calm before the storm shatters. The first angel sounds his trumpet, and fire mixed with blood rains down, consuming a third of the trees and all the green grass.
The earth trembles under the holy wrath of a just God, yet within it all, His plan unfolds with perfect precision.
This is the moment when silence gives way to sound, prayer becomes power, and heaven’s patience gives way to judgment. This is a solemn reminder that God’s justice will not sleep forever.
