Revelation 8: Silence in heaven
Read Revelation 8:1-13 before you meet.
In a few lines
When the censer is thrown on the earth, "Thunders, sounds, lightnings, and an earthquake followed." (8:5). John used the same words of the throne: "Out of the throne proceed lightnings, sounds, and thunders." (4:5). Here they come in the other order, with an earthquake.
The verse to carry
“The seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.”
Revelation 8:6
To talk about
1. "there was silence in heaven" (8:1). When has being quiet before God been good for you, or hard?
2. The seven angels "prepared themselves to sound" (8:6). What helps you get ready before you pray or open the Bible?
3. "I saw, and I heard" (8:13): John tells what he saw and heard. What have you seen or heard this week that you would want to tell God about?
