The only being I know of that the Bible says is in the temple in heaven and that mediates between God and man is Jesus. Wouldn't this "Angel" of Rev. 8:3-5 be a symbol for Jesus? If so then verse 5 actually shows that He stops his work of mediation right before the seven trumpets sound. Does this mean that once the "great tribulation" starts (the seven last trumpets and the seven last plagues) that this is the time when God's Spirit is taken from the earth and God no longer offers a fallen mankind the chance for repentance? Rev. 22:11 and 12 shows this also, right before Jesus comes. Does anyone else have any ideas about Rev. 8:3-5? |

Greetings, Since the High Priest was the one who entered the Holy Place to burn incense on the altar, it might be referring to Jesus, the Christians High Priest. Maybe this isn't as important to know as is knowing that the prayers of the persecuted saints were being heard and answered. The first audience of this epistle found this to be good news since they were undergoing persecution: either from Nero or Domitian. I'm interested to hear your thoughts. God bless. |

Greetings! As I read this verse, I am drawn to the fire. See the preceding verses and note that the fire (visible display of energy or power being expended) is the result of the incense co-mingled with the prayers of the saints. I believe that the incense represents the aroma of Christ (Eph 5:2) - His sacrificial death. Certainly God's anger is arroused against sin and the rejection of His provsion in Jesus! I suspect that the prayers of the saints are recorded in Rev 6:9-10 "I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had maintained; and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?" To me, this verse could be a picture of God's response to this explosive combination!(Which causes me to reflect upon the power of prayer that God makes available to us!) The subsequent verses elaborate on the effects of His wrath upon the earth. Just something to consider . . . mommapbs |
