Seals Five and Six: The Persecuted Church (Revelation 6:9-17)

Jul 12, 2026    Doug Crawford

This sermon on Revelation 6:9-17 explores the cry of the martyrs under the altar and contrasts their peaceful waiting with kings and generals fleeing the wrath of the Lamb. You'll discover why the saints' question—"How long, O Lord?"—is a prayer of faith for God's justice, not frustration or revenge. As creation itself unravels in the sixth seal, we face a choice: behold the Lamb who takes away our sins or flee from His wrath. The patient delay of Christ's return isn't slowness—it's mercy, giving more time for repentance.
