Incense Rises Trumpets Sound
In the book of Revelation, seven angels sound seven trumpets. These trumpets are calls to repent, to change our minds.
We all change our minds at one time or another. When you really change your mind, say about buying a home or buying a car, you have a change of heart. That change of heart radically effects your actions. In the Bible this change of mind is called repentance. Jesus Christ often called people to repent. Why? Jesus knew they needed to change their minds about how they were living. We need that today. It was not that long ago if a young couple contemplated living together their actions were not condoned. Today such arrangements are common. God says, "You shall not commit adultery" (Exodus 20:14). If you don't agree with God, you need a change of mind and heart. You need to repent. Jesus also called men and women to repent because they needed to change their minds about Him. Jesus Christ is God; He is not just a great prophet or teacher. Neither is He just a God, one among many. He is God in human form, God in the flesh. He is "Immanuel, which translated means, 'God with us‚'" (Matthew 1:23). Now if you do not believe Jesus Christ is God, you need a change of mind and heart. You need to repent! Not only so, Jesus calls us to repent because He came into the world to "Give His life a ransom for many" (Mark 10:45). If you do not believe Jesus Christ came into the world to die on the cross to pay for the sins of people like you, you definitely need a change of mind and heart. You need to repent. Like the trumpets in the book of Revelation, this message is a call to repentance.
