Revelation Chapter 6 - When the World Shakes

In this message, Dan walks us through Revelation chapter 6, a section some consider the darkest part of the Bible. But from the outset, he reframes how we approach it: we are not meant to camp in fear — we are meant to walk through with Jesus. Revelation was never written to terrify believers or spark speculation. It was written to reveal Jesus, strengthen the Church, and steady God’s people in times of shaking. As the Lamb opens the seals, Dan shows that what unfolds is not chaos or Satan running wild, but Jesus purposefully removing restraint from a fallen world — all while remaining firmly seated on the throne. The four horsemen reveal a sobering chain reaction of human history when restraint is lifted: ambition leads to conquest, conquest leads to war, war leads to famine, and famine leads to death. This is humanity left to itself — not the enemy in control, but Christ allowing history to move toward its appointed conclusion. The focus then shifts to the suffering Church. The fifth seal reveals the cries of persecuted believers asking, “How long, Lord?” Dan reminds us that this is not a lack of faith, but the language of faith under pressure. God responds with honour, rest, and reassurance: delay is not denial, and justice is never forgotten. With the sixth seal, even creation begins to shake. The world people trust in starts to fail — not as meaningless destruction, but as preparation for redemption. The chapter ends with the haunting question: “Who can stand?” And that question sets the stage for Revelation 7, where God shows that He knows exactly who can stand — those He has sealed and is holding fast. This message ultimately calls believers to lift their eyes: when the world shakes, look up before you look around. The shaking is not the end of hope — it is the announcement that redemption is drawing near. Key Takeaways: 1. Jesus is in control: Every seal is opened by the Lamb — nothing unfolds outside His authority (Revelation 6). 2. Humanity without restraint collapses: Ambition, war, famine, and death reveal the true condition of the human heart. 3. God hears the cry of His people: “How long?” is a faithful question, and justice is entrusted to a just God. 4. Delay is not denial: God’s timing is perfect, even when suffering continues. 5. Shaking prepares redemption: Creation’s upheaval signals not the end, but Christ’s coming restoration. 6. Look up before you look around: Confidence comes from the throne, not from circumstances. If the world feels unstable, overwhelming, or frightening, this message carries good news: Jesus is still on the throne, and He is holding His people. If you’re weary, hurting, or searching for hope, you’re not forgotten. God sees, God knows, and redemption is closer than it feels.
