Top Highlights
“The emphasis of the Greek word, however, is not on the feelings but on the mind or purpose of the individual who repents. John did not call on his congregation to be sorry, but to change their mind or purpose toward their sins and the salvation God was bringing through the King.” (Page 32)
“Even a casual reading of the seals and first six trumpets will make clear that the great tribulation begins with the early seals, not with the seventh trumpet. Certainly famine (Rev. 6:5–6), death for one-fourth of the world’s population (Rev. 6:8), earthquakes, stars falling from heaven, the moon becoming as blood, and every mountain and island being moved out of their places (Rev. 6:12–14) portray indeed ‘the great day of their wrath’—the ‘wrath of the Lamb’ (Rev. 6:16–17).” (Page 100)
“In refutation, some posttribulationists teach that the passage denies an imminent return of Christ by its declaration that two signs must be fulfilled first, namely, the rise of apostasy and the appearance of the man of sin.” (Page 10)
“To sum up, then, one might say that John’s command to repent was a request for God’s earthly people to turn from their sins and toward the One coming after him who was mightier than he.” (Page 32)
“Bring forth therefore fruit worthy of repentance’ (Matt. 3:8). John points to repentance as the source of new life and spiritual fruit, not water baptism.” (Page 33)
