Acts: The Spread of the Gospel

This study is taken from John MacArthur's "Acts: The Spread of the Gospel." My prayer and goal for this devo is that we will learn more about how the early church laid the foundation for what we possess today, and that we would allow God to use us to turn our world upside for Him!

This will be an exciting journey, so encourage others to join you! I'm looking forward to the interaction we will have on this blog as we study the book of Acts!

The devos will differ in format from day to day, but two things are constant: 1) a daily reading, and 2) additional Scripture passages that are in bold. Be sure to read any and all of the readings/bold verses that appear so that you can see the full picture of what is taught that day.

Remember, you can access any of the previous devos that have been posted from the "Blog Archive" section on the left side of this page.

God's Trumpets - Part 5 - Devo for 02/13/2009

Reading
Revelation 8:1-9:21

Going Deeper
The Old Testament prophets foresaw a mighty "Day of the Lord." For more insight, read Isaiah 13:1-13.

Exploring the Meaning
1. What added insights does this Old Testament passage provide concerning the Day of the Lord?

2. Why will God judge the earth?

3. Read Luke 10:18. How does this verse help you identify the "star fallen from heaven" in Revelation 9:1?
(Verses to consider: Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:12-16)

4. Read 2 Peter 2:4. Who are the creatures incarcerated in the bottomless pit (Revelation 9:1-2)? Why is Satan's unlocking of this abyss such a horrible event?
