Revelation 6:1-2
Introduction
Let's go back, just for a moment, and refresh where we have been. Revelation 1
Rev. 1:1 ¶ The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Rev. 1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;

Revelation 7:1-4
Introduction
We ended our last study on the sixth seal. As Chapter 7 opens, it is often referred to as a parenthetical. The idea of the seals being opened is put on pause, and this chapter now introduces us to two groups of people. So we will look at these two groups of people and make some notes of them.
Last week, I tied the group that is under the altar two this group described in chapter 7. While they may both have white robes, I do think they are two distinct groups. It does become clear that both groups are from the tribulation period. They are not to be confused with the group in heaven in Chapters 4-5 which in Revelation 5:9 are praising the Lamb because he redeemed them! - That is the saved believers that have been raptured out. This group in chapter 7, we clearly see as a group of people who have been saved during the tribulation period.

Revelation 8:1-6
Introduction
Book of Sevens – 7 letters to the churches Rev 1-3
Remember we started looking at the 7 seals in Revelation chapter 6. The 1^st^ Seal (6:1) was that of a White horse (represented a conquering, unified, one world government) 2^nd^ Seal (6:3) – Red Horse – Nation will turn on nation in a great struggle for power. No man wants to be ruled, but all men want to rule. 3^rd^ Seal (6:5) – Black horse – that of famine which will come as a natural result of war. 4^th^ Seal (6:7) – Pale horse – Death & Hell, ¼ part of the earth (Population) 8million, 2million die! 5^th^ Seal (6:9) – Vision of the martyrs under the altar, crying for Justice. 6^th^ Seal (6:12) earthquake, darkening of moon, and sun. -

Mark 8:22-26
Introduction
We have before us a unique passage. The blind man of Bethsaida is only given to us in the Gospel of Mark. It is therefore unique. It is further unique because it is the only miracle done in the Scripture, which is described as being done partially, or requiring two different times. I have often wondered about the meaning behind this miracle.

Revelation 8:13, 9:1-12
Introduction
A reminder of where we are in the Book of Revelation. The first three chapters contain messages to the churches. Some have laid out time periods that these fit into. They also are relevant messages and perhaps even stages that any church can find itself in.
Revelation 4 – We believe the rapture takes place, we do not see any mention of the church hereafter. The scene is described as being in heaven, it is a marvelous scene of worshipping the LORD Jesus Christ.

Psalm 98
Introduction
As I studied it, and outlined it, everything seemed so familiar, and in glancing back, I was able to see the resemblance of Psalm 95. Clearly it is in the Bible twice, and so apparently God thought we needed it twice. The outline is not the same, as the passage is not the same. There are similarities, but it’s layout is indeed unique.

Psalm 110:1-7
Introduction
We have a short, but a great Psalm before us.
Notice the Title: A Psalm of David
The Authorship is authenticated and further established by Jesus in Matt 22:44-45
Matthew 22:44–45 —44 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool? 45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? (Son of David)… he is God

Triumphal Entry
Mark 11:1-6
Introduction
We are a couple of months early for Palm Sunday, but the Sunday before Easter is called Palm Sunday. It is often referred to as the triumphal entry. It was one of the only times that Jesus allowed public prominent praise of himself. Jesus certainly is worthy of worship, but he often did not allow it, and maintained a low profile as best as he could. Jesus did not come to be lifted up as King, but came as a sacrifice.
