Revelation Lesson 20: The Measuring Rod
Revelation 11:1-14 is the text for this sermon entitled, "The Measuring Rod."
This passage recounts John's vision of the sixth trumpet sounding and the vision that comes with it. The vision is largely symbolic, not literal, and describes in sweeping terms what will happen to God's church. John received a measuring rod like a staff. God commands that John measure three things: the temple of God, the altar, and the people worshipping there. This lesson explores the message that Christians will undergo hardships, but they will be victorious in the end through God's grace.
