Discussion Questions:

Interpretation of the Seals: Jessediscusses different interpretations of the seven seals in Revelation 6 – as historical events, future epochs, and ongoing spiritual realities. Which interpretation resonates most with you and why? How do these interpretations affect our understanding Revelation? What would this have meant for John’s original audience?
The Role of the Four Horsemen: The sermon describes the four horsemen as representing conquest, war, famine, and death – realities of every era in human history. How do you see these elements at work in the world today? How should Christians respond to this?
Sealing of the Servants of God and the Multitude from Every Nation: The sermon highlights the sealing of 144,000 and the great multitude in Revelation 7. What does this imagery symbolize for you, especially in the context of being part of the global church? Read Ephesians 1:11-14. what does it mean to know that we are sealed by the Holy Spirit?
The Church Amidst Chaos: Jesse concludes by suggesting that the church exists amidst the chaos of history, symbolized by the breaking of the seals. In what ways can we, as a church and as individuals, maintain focus on Jesus (the Lamb) amidst the challenges and distractions of our current world? How can we live out the hope and mission of the church in turbulent times?
