啓示錄 Revelation Lesson 3 (10/22)

末世導論 (三) 
讀經： 啓示錄4-7章 
討論問題： 
1. 試著描述一下使徒約翰所看見天上throne
room的情形。當神要將未來的事件，特別是一些關於審判與災難的事，啟示給使徒約翰時，神先讓他看見神的寶座，這對我們有甚麼開啟？
2. 根據啟示錄4,5章，萬物為甚麼存在？耶穌用祂自己的血買贖我們的目地是甚麼？思考一下我們人生的意義是甚麼？人生的目標是甚麼？(參考林前8:6，
弗1:10，西1:16)
3. 揭開七印，開始末世大災難的是誰？第一印到第六印說到那些末世的事件？試著和馬太24:7~9比較一下。
4. 啟示錄7章說到以色列各支派中受印的人數時，有沒有漏掉那一個支派？我們這些外邦人基督徒身上有沒有神的印記？


Revelation Lesson 3 
Reading: Revelation Chapter 4-7
Discussion Questions: 
1. Try to describe the “throne room scene” that
John saw. Before God revealed the events of the future to John –
especially those of judgment and tribulation – He first showed him the
Throne of God. What revelation does this give us?
2.  According to Revelation 4 and 5, why does creation exist? What was
Jesus’ purpose in redeeming us with His own blood? Reflect on what is
the meaning and purpose of our lives. What is the end goal of life?
(reference 1 Cor. 8:6, Eph. 1:10, Col. 1:16)
3.  Who breaks the seven seals and initiates the end-time Great
Tribulation? What events happen at the first six seals? Compare these
with Matt. 24:7-9.
4.  When the number of the people who are sealed among the tribes of
Israel is described in Revelation 7, is there any tribe that is missing?
Is there the seal of God on us, the Gentile believers?
