BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 13, Day 4: Revelation 7:9-12

9a) The multitude was so great that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people, and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb.

b) God’s people come from every nation and race from all over the world. God loves and includes everyone in His promises, His love, and His plans.

c) “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” They were acknowledging God’s plan Jesus’ execution of our salvation.

d) This is tough because almost everyone I know personally is Christian. There are probably people at work who are not, so I do my best to live a Godly life and give Him the credit when I can, hoping my personal testimony will at least open the door to Jesus.

10a) God’s sovereignty over all beings. The importance of worship. How we get to worship God, too.

b) His grace, His forgiveness, His provisions, Him being in control, Him worrying for me.

End Notes BSF Study Questions Revelation: The Hope Lesson 13, Day 4: Revelation 7:9-12

“After this” introduces a new vision.

We can see the Great Commission (Matthew 24:14) having taken place here.

White robes represent righteousness and priestly service.

The palm branches should remind you of Jesus entering Jerusalem (John 12:12-16). They are symbols of victory.

Salvation is God’s greatest gift, so it’s fitting all in heaven recognize that.

“Amen” signifies “let it be so.”

God's judgments people of the promise kingdom divided lesson 13 www.atozmomm.com

BSF Study Questions People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided Lesson 13, Day 4: Amos 7:1-9:10

SUMMARY OF AMOS 7:1-9:10

Amos 7

The Lord prepared judgments against Israel (locusts, fire, and a plumb line) but Amos asked the Lord to forgive, and He did. Amaziah, a priest of Bethel, tried to kick Amos out of Israel and send him back to Judah, so he would quit prophesying there. Amos told him God sent him to Israel to say they will be exiled from their native land.

Amos 8

The Lord told Amos he will spare his people no longer, as he sees a vision of a basket of ripe fruit and the Lord standing by the altar.

Amos 9:1-10

God will kill all of the sinners amongst his people. No one will escape.

10)

7:1-3: Amos saw locusts, but asked the Lord to relent against Israel, and he did.

12a) God gives everyone plenty of chances to turn to him, but he’ll judge at the end. People never change; they are sinners at heart.

b) I should always be looking for God and turning to him.

Conclusions BSF Study Questions People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided Lesson 13, Day 4: Amos 7:1-9:10

Gloom and doom here. The people sin; God judges. This is the entire story of the Old Testament (and the New Testament) except that God gives us Jesus to save us.

End Notes BSF Study Questions People of the Promise: Kingdom Divided Lesson 13, Day 4: Amos 7:1-9:10

Amos 7: Amos sees the judgment of Israel with locusts, fire, and a plumb line. Prayer is powerful, as Amos saves the people here. A plumb line helps to build straight walls. God’s people must be straight against His standards.

Bethel was the center of Israel’s idolatry, and Amos was faithful in delivering God’s warnings to His people.

Amos 8: The ripe fruit has turned sour. Israel is dishonest and cheats the poor, so God will judge.

Amos talks about the famine of not hearing God’s word. God grants us the ability to hear his word and to benefit by it.

Amos 9: All of God’s people will face judgment.
