Life study msg 20- The Cry of Martyred Saints and God's Answer—Seals Five and Six

Introduction that linked to the four horses from the last broadcast. 

The mind behind the system: the preaching of the gospel is the strong affirmation of the four horses. 

The Lord used war, death, and famine to release the gospel. 

Reference verses - (Rev. 6:10-17)

Rv 6:10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Master, holy and true, will You not judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth? 

This is the cry from the martyred saints. When the Lord Jesus was on the cross, the sinner, who crucified together with Jesus, went to paradise, the pleasant section of the hades. Those who died in Christ are in paradise and there'll be resurrection and rapture and we will all be together someday. There'll be a judgement starting from the House of God.  

Also, we focus is not on the heavens but the very person Christ Himself. 

Rv 6:11 And to each of them was given a white robe; and it was said to them that they should rest yet a little while, until also the number of their fellow slaves and their brothers who were about to be killed, even as they were, is completed.

Facing any catastrophe described below, we need to repent. The day of the Lord is at hand. 

Rv 6:12 And I saw when He opened the sixth seal, and there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black like sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood;
Rv 6:13 And the stars of heaven fell to the earth as a fig tree casts its unripe figs when shaken by a great wind.
Rv 6:14 And heaven was removed like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
Rv 6:15 And the kings of the earth and the great men and the generals and the rich and the strong and every slave and free man hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains;
Rv 6:16 And they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits upon the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb;
Rv 6:17 For the great day of Their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?

We will have the growth of Christ before the great tribulation begins.
