Wading through Revelation...!

Tonight I am wading through, and trying to understand Revelation 6-19, in order to help 10 children aged 7-14 to get a feel for and understand it a bit more for themselves.... and how long do we have to do all this?? About 40 minutes!:)

I think we are going to take the highlights, the pictures, the words spoken out, the events that take place, and find a way for them to explore it for themselves.

Why is it that nothing much has been written on it for Children though? While a nice big challenge for me and my friend as we teach this together, it's also got some good stuff in it for kids, and everyone!

How awesome is this...!!!
I looked again. I saw a huge crowd, too huge to count. Everyone was there—all nations and tribes, all races and languages. And they were standing, dressed in white robes and waving palm branches, standing before the Throne and the Lamb and heartily singing: Salvation to our God on his Throne!
Salvation to the Lamb!

And this...!
Immediately I saw Four Angels standing at the four corners of earth, standing steady with a firm grip on the four winds so no wind would blow on earth or sea, not even rustle a tree. 2-3 Then I saw another Angel rising from where the sun rose, carrying the seal of the Living God. He thundered to the Four Angels assigned the task of hurting earth and sea, "Don't hurt the earth! Don't hurt the sea! Don't so much as hurt a tree until I've sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads!"


And this...!

Then I heard the sound of massed choirs, the sound of a mighty cataract, the sound of strong thunder:

Hallelujah!
The Master reigns,
our God, the Sovereign-Strong!
Let us celebrate, let us rejoice,
let us give him the glory!
The Marriage of the Lamb has come;
his Wife has made herself ready.
She was given a bridal gown
of bright and shining linen.
The linen is the righteousness of the saints.

9The Angel said to me, "Write this: 'Blessed are those invited to the Wedding Supper of the Lamb.'" He added, "These are the true words of God!"

So yet again I sit in wonder at what an amazing God we have, that we can call him Lord, Friend, Master, King...!
