Revelation Lesson 17 - All the Prayers of God's People
Revelation 8 is the text for this sermon entitled, "All the Prayers of God's People."
Revelation 8 offers encouragement and hope by the image of the “prayer angel” bringing prayers of all the saints up before the throne of God. This angel stands in the throne room before God and in front of the altar. The angel brings the prayers before God and offers them with incense to God. The incense was given to the angel, who lit it with fire from the golden altar, all symbolizing the purity of this offering.
The offering of prayers sets the stage for seven angels with trumpets, heralding the events of spiritual warfare affecting part of the earth (1/3). The trumpeting angels are taking part in the judgment of the devil and his works.
