Outline Revelation 15:1 ➢ Final series of Divine Judgement. ➢ our alone was found to be the only human being who was by GOD’S Law each qualified, willing, and able to redeem mankind, the Earth, & all of creation from a sinful fallen state. ➢ In the original Greek the statement is these coming Judgements will complete GOD’S wrath. ➢ The word used for completion is the very same word Jesus used upon the cross when He referenced that His work of His Purpose as our sacrificial Savior to pay our Sin debt unto our Heavenly Father was complete. Revelation 15:2 ➢ John is referencing 2 separate distinct groups of Saved peoples now Raptured before GOD’S Heavenly Throne. ➢ Hebrews 9:27 KJV makes clear that all interpretations and speculations such as reincarnation or coming back as different forms of existence are merely man made fables. ➢ Wood, hay, or stubble are human selfish motivations and ambitions. ➢ Gold does not corrode so it represents our Faith. Silver in the is our pay- as in our reward for helping others attain their goal of gold of their Faith in Jesus. ➢ Gems and costly precious stones are our works and deeds done in love in the Lord for others. Our works and deeds are evidence of our faith and reward-not for salvation.
