Sermon 764B
Revelation's Sixth Trumpet, the Little Book, and the Measure of God's Temple
Summary
The Sixth Trumpet and the Four Angels
The message opens in Revelation chapter 9 with the sounding of the sixth trumpet and the release of four angels bound at the Euphrates. Pastor Tony Alamo interprets the passage as a direct warning about divine judgment and repeatedly stresses that people should not assume God's love eliminates consequences for sin. He describes the immense army of horsemen, the imagery of fire, smoke, brimstone, and lion-like heads, and the destruction of a third part of humanity. His commentary emphasizes zeal, obedience, and the danger of pride. He contrasts immediate obedience to God with what he portrays as spiritual complacency. Throughout this section, he presents the prophecy as something that should be taken literally and urgently.
Judgment, Pride, and Unrepentant Sin
Continuing through Revelation 9:18-21, Alamo focuses on the people who survive the plagues but still refuse to repent. He speaks about hell, the lake of fire, blasphemy, idolatry, murder, sorcery, fornication, theft, and other conduct he says the passage condemns. His language becomes confrontational as he directs accusations toward people and institutions he believes reject God's commandments. He also makes strongly negative statements about abortion, homosexuality, government actions, and same-sex marriage. These statements are presented in the episode as Alamo's religious and moral interpretations of the biblical text. The section ends with a call to repent, believe the gospel, and take the warnings of Revelation seriously.
The Mighty Angel and the Little Book
The message then moves into Revelation chapter 10, where Alamo discusses the mighty angel descending from heaven with a cloud, a rainbow, a face like the sun, and feet like pillars of fire. He identifies the figure as the Angel of the Lord and interprets the rainbow as a reminder of God's promise concerning the flood. The little open book in the angel's hand becomes a lesson about paying attention to what may appear small or insignificant in God's commandments. Alamo interprets the seven thunders as warnings and links them with the prophetic signs he believes are becoming understandable in the present age. He stresses that the warnings are meant to prepare spiritually aware people for events that are coming to pass. The section repeatedly returns to the theme that God's Word should be heard, understood, and obeyed.
Sweet as Honey, Bitter in the Belly
In the latter part of Revelation 10, the angel declares that there should be time no longer and that the mystery of God will be finished. Alamo interprets this as the transition from temporal life into eternity and judgment. He then discusses John's instruction to take and eat the little book, which is sweet as honey in the mouth but bitter in the belly. Alamo explains the sweetness as the pleasure of receiving and reading God's Word, while the bitterness represents the difficulty of actually carrying out what God commands. He says obedience can feel difficult at first but ultimately brings glory, honor, praise, and happiness. The chapter concludes with the command that John must prophesy again before many peoples, nations, tongues, and kings.
Measuring the Temple and the Two Witnesses
The program proceeds into Revelation chapter 11 with the command to measure the temple, the altar, and those who worship there. Alamo interprets the temple as God's people, the altar as their hearts, and the measuring rod as the Bible by which individuals should examine themselves. He urges listeners to determine whether their lives measure up to God's Word and to repent quickly if they do not. He then discusses the outer court, the Gentiles, a falling away from faith, the Antichrist, and the forty-two months during which the holy city is trodden underfoot. The passage reaches the introduction of the two witnesses, which Alamo says will be explored further in the next program. He also says he intends to connect the two witnesses with passages from Zechariah.
Letters, Salvation Prayer, and Closing Hymn
Near the end of the episode, Alamo reads listener correspondence from Zambia and Ivory Coast concerning the distribution of religious literature, requests for Bibles and newsletters, and support for evangelism. He then leads listeners in a salvation prayer centered on belief in Jesus Christ, His crucifixion, His blood as forgiveness for sin, and His resurrection by the power of the Holy Spirit. Sharon provides information for obtaining a free copy of program number 764. Alamo invites listeners to return for the continuation of Revelation chapter 11. He closes by singing "In the City Where the Lamb Is the Light," a hymn about a heavenly city without night, sorrow, or toil. A prerecorded announcement then gives the Help from Christ Ministries contact information.
