Tweets from Revelation 8

August 4, 2012 by Phil Auxier

In late May, I began 202 days of journaling through the 404 verses of the final book of the Bible, Revelation.  To go along with my personal study and preparation to preach through this book in 2013, I’m trying to tweet something from every verse.  Today I finished chapter 8.  Here’s a compilation of my tweets followed by the reference.

Revelation 1 | Revelation 2 | Revelation 3 | Revelation 4 | Revelation 5 | Revelation 6 | Revelation 7



The prospect of God’s judgment produces silence in heaven. (Revelation 8:1)
Before God alone is where true and righteous judgment is found. (Revelation 8:2)
The prayers of God’s people are pleasing to HIm, like incense. (Revelation 8:3)
Our prayers rise to God Himself. (Revelation 8:4)
In some ways, God’s judgment will vindicate His people on the earth. (Revelation 8:5)
God’s judgment of the world involves a specific plan. (Revelation 8:6)
Sick of summer’s heat drying up your grass? Be thankful it’s not God’s full wrath being poured out.  (Revelation 8:7)
Sea’s turning to blood? God’s judgment shows His power, just like what He did in Egypt.  (Revelation 8:8)
God’s judgment will unravel creation and created things for His new creation to shine glorious. (Revelation 8:9)
From heaven comes God’s terrifying judgment, affecting all of life’s most basic needs. (Revelation 8:10)
Wormwood = bitter. God’s judgment will have a bitter effect. (Revelation 8:11)
No longer having light & darkness, even God’s judgment points us to true light and life. (Revelation 8:12)
Even in the midst of judgment, God warns people and shows His lovingkindness. (Revelation 8:13)

From One Degree To Another?

Yeah, that's right. My one, consuming passion is Jesus Christ, my Lord. I'm totally gripped by one message: the Gospel - the good news that God came after me when I was far from Him. So, the life I live, I live by faith in Him: He loved me and gave Himself for me.

From One Degree To Another is the change that He's accomplishing in me by grace. Growing downward in humility, upward into Him, outward toward others, and inward with renewal characterize my existence.

This site is where I flesh all of these types of things out, including my life as a slave to Jesus, husband, father, coffee-enjoyer, and pastor. I hope it encourages you.
