Irony of the apocalypse seal 5&6

vs. 9-11
The saints who died in the faith under persecution ask God, "How long will it before you avenge the spilling of our blood?"
The response is rather odd.
"Calm down rest, because there are more that are going to die."
As a church in the first century imagine hearing that. I have had friends die and John is telling me that more are going to die.

It is a reminder that God's justice does not work on my time. I recall being very angry with God, because there was this woman who died. Her husband had cared for her and this woman's sister had come to help in the caretaking of her end life. The sister in the last day's of this woman's life changed all of the accounts that the beneficiary at her death would be this woman's daughter not the husband. There are those moments when I have to let go and let God take care of the justice.

vs. 12-17
The kings of the world wind up hiding in the caves that the church has hidden.
They scream, 'Hide us from the face fo the one seated on the throne and the WRATH OF THE LAMB."
Can you imagine the wrath of a lamb? When you wake up at night in cold sweats has it ever been because a lamb is going to inflict punishment upon you? It is a very odd four words WRATH OF THE LAMB. In fact, John might be the first person who put those words together. What does the wrath of a lamb look like?
