Many of the angelic trumpet plagues of Revelation are explained quickly and to the point. But once we get to the locusts, John pauses to give a lot of detail to what he's seeing. This unusual amount of detail causes many readers to assign the locusts to various things past, present, and future. In this video we give a few examples of these proposals, even though we think the demonic point gets missed or clouded in the hubbub.<br />

Also, in our last video we talked about how the angel of the abyss appeared to be a demonic figure. In this video we address how it could instead be a good angelic figure.

What Are the Locusts of Revelation? (Revelation 7:9-11)

Right after a half hour of silence and Heaven and right before we kick off the seven trumpets of Revelation, we come a cross a short narrative where an angel does the job of a priest and offers incense in Heaven as the prayers of the saints. How does this quick intermission bridge the gap between the seven scrolls and the seven trumpets? Join the conversation on our Discord: www.jxncloud.com/discord

Incense Prayers and Angel Priests (Revelation 8:2-5)

In today's passage we come across a key lens through which we must interpret the rest of Revelation in. While so many default for the lion perspective of Jesus, the lamb is actually where John's focus continues to stay throughout the book.

The Lion IS a Lamb (Revelation 5:5-7)

The beings of Heaven have not always been obedient to God. But here amidst the 24 elders we find themes of God's omnipotence and more. Join us in what this beautiful image communicates and then let us know what you think in the comments below or on our Discord! www.jxncloud.com/discord

Elders Cast their Crowns (Revelation 4:9-11)

There are four super weird creatures around God's throne in Revelation, each one with a different face and a bunch of eyes. What are these beings and what is their significance in God's throne room? The answer is found in Ezekiel 1, which feels like one of the strangest passages in all of the prophetic books. But once you put all the pieces together, the four living creatures start to make a whole lot of sense. <br />

It takes awhile to put these pieces together, making this our longest JXN Cloud episode to date! But we think you'll find it interesting ;) Let us know what you think in the comments below or on our Discord! www.jxncloud.com/discord

What Are the Four Living Creatures? (Revelation 4:6-8)

Why is there a crystal sea before God's throne in Heaven in the book of Revelation? The answer is found in an ancient understanding of the cosmos, which we moderns often miss due to our own conception of the universe. Learn more in today's episode and then join us to discuss it further on our Discord channel! www.jxncloud.com/discord

What is the Crystal Sea? (Revelation 4:6)

When Jesus first speaks to John in Revelation, he sounds like a trumpet. Why is that? We find the answer in a mix of Bible references and cultural and theological messaging. Join the conversation on our Discord: www.jxncloud.com/discord

Why Does Jesus Sound Like a Trumpet? (Revelation 1:10)

In Revelation 1:10 John mentions he was, "In the Spirit on the Lord's Day." What would John have considered "The Lord's Day" and why does that matter enough for him to mention? The answer is more impactful than you might think. Join the conversation on our Discord: www.jxncloud.com/discord

What is "The Lord's Day?" (Revelation 1:10)

There is WAY more going on at the Tower of Babel than you might think. Not only is the story often misunderstood in the first place, but there have also been some Bible translation problems that have kept us from better understanding what happened at Babel. But both this tower and the entire Biblical worldview start to make a lot more sense once we understand Deuteronomy 32:8.
