Sermon Text for Sunday: Revelation 11:7-14

Critically Think

  • Read Revelation 11:1-14.
  • When will the witnesses' testimony be completed?
  • Where was their Lord crucified? Where is the location of this city?
  • How widespread will be the spectacle of the two witnesses’ martyrdom?
  • What is the cause of the earth’s celebration according to 10b?
  • What does the celebration of the death of God’s witnesses tell us about the alignment of those living on earth in relationship to the beast?
  • What takes place on earth after the witnesses ascend to heaven?

Prayerfully Meditate

  • A footnote in the New American Standard Bible indicates that the word “mystically” could literally be translated “spiritually.” What is the interpretive difference between these two words?
  • What are the three responses of those who dwell on earth to the death of the two witnesses?
  • What events does the conjunction "but" contrast in verses 7-10 and 11-14
  • Where else do we see the “breath of life” in scripture?
  • Describe the witnesses ascension to heaven.
  • Is the response of those on earth to the ascension of the witnesses (terror and giving glory to God) a repentant believing fear or an unbelieving fear?

Intentionally Act

  • How can you be comforted by God's sovereign plan and purpose from this text?
  • How can you pray in light of this text?
  • Summarize Revelation 11:7-14 in 21 words or less.
