A Real-Life Nightmare

Here's a pic I took with my iPhone tonight right when I got up in
stage. I talked about how the old brick phones from the 80s seemed so
high tech then but if you look at technology now, the 80s was just
the tip of the iceberg. The illustration corresponded with Revelation
6 & 8. Revelation 6 was bad, but it was just the tip of the nightmare
that chapters 8 & 9 would turn into! We saw some more indirect forms
of punishment on the earth in the forms of earthquakes, meteor
showers, and such, but then in chapter 9, as the 5th and 6th trumpets
sounded, we saw a new direct form of attack. 2 different armies of
demons were released to infest the already crumbling, godless earth.
Nightmares came to life as people sought esape through death, but were
unable to die for 5 months while they were tortured! Wow. It was
heavy, but a great reminder that God is in control even when he world
falls apart.
