Discover the powerful truth in Revelation 8:1-12: God Always Responds to Our Prayers!

In this sermon from Pastor David P. Craig, we dive into the opening of the seventh seal and the sounding of the first four trumpet judgments.

Key Highlights:
Heaven falls silent for half an hour as the Lamb opens the seventh seal, signaling the calm before God's righteous judgment.
The prayers of the saints ascend like incense before God's throne, then trigger divine intervention: the angel throws fire to earth, unleashing thunder, lightning, and earthquake.
Jesus, with all authority (Matthew 28:18), commissions seven angels with trumpets of judgment – echoing biblical trumpets that announce war, kingship, and end times events (like the rapture in 1 Thess. 4:16).
Our prayers are powerful and effective! They align with God's will, unleash His power against evil, vindicate the saints, and bring His Kingdom to earth. Quotes from Tennyson, Piper, Wesley, and more emphasize: Prayer matters – it releases God's plan and overcomes Satan's grip.

The Four Trumpet Judgments (partial, escalating plagues similar to Exodus):
Hail, fire, blood: 1/3 of earth, trees, and grass burned.
Burning mountain into sea: 1/3 sea to blood, 1/3 sea life & ships destroyed.
Star Wormwood: 1/3 fresh waters bitter, many die.
1/3 sun, moon, stars darkened: Day and night dimmed.

These parallel the Egyptian plagues and foreshadow fuller bowl judgments in Rev. 16 – showing God's mercy in partial judgment, calling for repentance (though many harden hearts like Pharaoh).
In spiritual warfare, our battle is fierce, but prayers are extremely effective, and God is faithful! "God's delays aren't denials." Depend on prayer to see God's power.Watch to strengthen your prayer life and understand end times prophecy!
