Revelation 8-9: Woe to Those Who Dwell on the Earth  1. Revelation 

assumes we remember the context of what is happening in this revelation. Take a moment to remind yourself: what is going on?  2. What does Revelation 8:3-5 tell us about “the prayers of the saints”? What do the prayers of the saints have to do with the wrath and judgment of God?  3. In your own words, what is happening in Revelation 8:6-13?  4. Something of what seems to be of particular importance is being revealed in Revelation 9:1-11. “Abaddon” in Hebrew means destruction and “Apollyon” in Greek means destroyer. What is being described?  5. What should we make of these trumpets being blown by angels in Revelation 8-9? What does this tell us about God and his will concerning the earth and its inhabitants?  6. What is the point of Revelation 9:20-21? What does repentance have to do with the terrible events John is witnessing in this incredible vision?
