Sevens: Prayer, Trumpets, and Warning Mercy (Revelation 8:1–6)
Revelation aims at faithfulness today. Pastor Timothy teaches how the silence in heaven, incense with the saints’ prayers, and the first trumpet judgments call the church to pray specifically, repent quickly, and endure faithfully. With echoes of Exodus and Jericho, and a clear explanation of recapitulation, this message shows how God uses our prayers—joined to Christ’s intercession—to advance His purposes.
