The Beginning of the End (Revelation 6:3–8) John MacArthur

Summary

The sermon explores Revelation chapter 6 and the impending divine judgment, focusing on God's wrath and the coming apocalyptic events during the seven-year tribulation period. Drawing from biblical prophets like Isaiah and Jeremiah, the message emphasizes humanity's descent into depravity and the inevitable divine judgment that will encompass both Jews and Gentiles. The sermon highlights the opening of the seven seals by Jesus Christ, which initiates a series of progressively devastating judgments that will ultimately lead to the final destruction of the current world order. The practical takeaway is a stark warning about the consequences of sin and the urgent need for spiritual preparedness in the face of imminent divine judgment.
