This is a “big” chapter for two reasons:
Back in the Old Testament, in Daniel 9:27, we first observed that a coming prince will make a seven-year agreement with the nation of Israel, perhaps among others. In the middle of that “week” he will break his agreement with them. We are now at a spot in Revelation where we can begin to see how that “week” is divided.
We left off at the end of Revelation 6 with a question, namely, “For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” (Rev 6:17) Today’s chapter will answer that question.
The Israelites saw God do amazing things in the Exodus from Egypt. That didn’t mean they would be powerfully used by God from that time forward. As it happened they succumbed to various forms of temptation and disqualified themselves from their ministry. Nate Medlong gives us Paul’s explanation in this chapter.
