1 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire. 2 He had a little scroll open in his hand. And he set his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the land, 3 and called out with a loud voice, like a lion roaring. When he called out, the seven thunders sounded. 4 And when the seven thunders had sounded, I was about to write, but I heard a voice from heaven saying, “Seal up what the seven thunders have said, and do not write it down.” 5 And the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land raised his right hand to heaven 6 and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and what is in it, the earth and what is in it, and the sea and what is in it, that there would be no more delay, 7 but that in the days of the trumpet call to be sounded by the seventh angel, the mystery of God would be fulfilled, just as he announced to his servants the prophets. https://wrestlingwiththeology.org/media/podcast/dd_230928.mp3 You can find the Louis Brighton Revelation Commentary at https://smile.amazon.com/Revelation-Concordia-Commentary-Louis-Brighton/dp/0570063124/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2QO0FKSL7II4U&keywords=brighton+revelation&qid=1672525680&sprefix=brighton+revelation%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-1&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.006c50ae-5d4c-4777-9bc0-4513d670b6bc You can find the Reformation Heritage Bible Commentary at https://smile.amazon.com/Reformation-Heritage-Bible-Commentary-Revelation/dp/0758627610/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2QO0FKSL7II4U&keywords=brighton+revelation&qid=1672525894&sprefix=brighton+revelation%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-3 Subscribe on Anchor (https://anchor.fm/rev-doug-minton) or your favorite podcast app.

Against the Sacramentarians' opinion, this is what is taught in the Augsburg Confession from God's Word about the Lord's Supper: "That the body and blood of Christ are truly present and distributed to those who eat the Lord's Supper" [AC X 1]. The contrary doctrine is rejected (namely, that of the Sacramentarians, who presented their own confession at the same time at Augsburg. They said that the body of Christ, because He has ascended to Heaven, is not truly and essentially present here on earth in the Sacrament).

13 Then the sixth angel blew his trumpet, and I heard a voice from the four horns of the golden altar before God, 14 saying to the sixth angel who had the trumpet, “Release the four angels who are bound at the great river Euphrates.” 15 So the four angels, who had been prepared for the hour, the day, the month, and the year, were released to kill a third of mankind. 16 The number of mounted troops was twice ten thousand times ten thousand; I heard their number. 17 And this is how I saw the horses in my vision and those who rode them: they wore breastplates the color of fire and of sapphire and of sulfur, and the heads of the horses were like lions' heads, and fire and smoke and sulfur came out of their mouths. 18 By these three plagues a third of mankind was killed, by the fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths. 19 For the power of the horses is in their mouths and in their tails, for their tails are like serpents with heads, and by means of them they wound. 20 The rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands nor give up worshiping demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood, which cannot see or hear or walk, 21 nor did they repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.

To explain this controversy, it must be noted in the beginning that there are two kinds of Sacramentarians. Some are openly crass Sacramentarians. They declare in plain, clear words what they believe in their hearts, that in the Holy Supper nothing but bread and wine is present, distributed, and received with the mouth. Others, however, are crafty Sacramentarians. They are the most harmful of all. In part, they talk very fancy, using our own words. They pretend that they also believe a true presence of the true, essential, living body and blood of Christ in the Holy Supper. However, they say that this happens spiritually through faith. Nevertheless, under these fancy words they hold precisely the former crass opinion, namely, that in the Holy Supper nothing is present and received with the mouth except bread and wine. For with them the word spiritually means nothing other than the Spirit of Christ or the power of Christ's absent body and His merit that is present. But for them Christ's body is in no mode or way present, except above in the highest heaven. They say we should elevate ourselves into heaven by the thoughts of our faith. And there--not at all in the bread and wine of the Holy Supper--we should seek Christ's body and blood.

7 In appearance the locusts were like horses prepared for battle: on their heads were what looked like crowns of gold; their faces were like human faces, 8 their hair like women's hair, and their teeth like lions' teeth; 9 they had breastplates like breastplates of iron, and the noise of their wings was like the noise of many chariots with horses rushing into battle. 10 They have tails and stings like scorpions, and their power to hurt people for five months is in their tails. 11 They have as king over them the angel of the bottomless pit. His name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek he is called Apollyon. 12 The first woe has passed; behold, two woes are still to come.

We believe, teach, and confess that, even though people who are truly believing <in Christ> and truly converted to God have been freed and exempted from the curse and coercion of the Law, they are still not without the Law on this account. They have been redeemed by God's Son in order that they may exercise themselves in the Law day and night ([Psalm 1:2;] Psalm 119). Even our first parents before the fall did not live without Law. They had God's Law written into their hearts, because they were created in God's image (Genesis 1:26-27; 2:16-17; 3:3).

1 And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. 2 He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft. 3 Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth. 4 They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. 5 They were allowed to torment them for five months, but not to kill them, and their torment was like the torment of a scorpion when it stings someone. 6 And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them. https://wrestlingwiththeology.org/media/podcast/dd_230907.mp3 You can find the Louis Brighton Revelation Commentary at https://smile.amazon.com/Revelation-Concordia-Commentary-Louis-Brighton/dp/0570063124/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2QO0FKSL7II4U&keywords=brighton+revelation&qid=1672525680&sprefix=brighton+revelation%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-1&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.006c50ae-5d4c-4777-9bc0-4513d670b6bc You can find the Reformation Heritage Bible Commentary at https://smile.amazon.com/Reformation-Heritage-Bible-Commentary-Revelation/dp/0758627610/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2QO0FKSL7II4U&keywords=brighton+revelation&qid=1672525894&sprefix=brighton+revelation%2Caps%2C162&sr=8-3 Subscribe on Podcast Addict (https://www.podcastaddict.com/podcast/2285812) or your favorite podcast app.

From the beginning of the world these two proclamations have always been taught alongside each other in God's Church, with a proper distinction. The descendants of the well-respected patriarchs, and the patriarchs themselves, called to mind constantly how in the beginning a person had been created righteous and holy by God. They know that through the fraud of the Serpent, Adam transgressed God's command, became a sinner, and corrupted and cast himself with all his descendants into death and eternal condemnation. They encouraged and comforted themselves again by the preaching about the woman's seed, who would bruise the Serpent's head (Genesis 3:15); Abraham's seed, in whom "all the nations of the earth [will] be blessed" (Genesis 22:18); David's son, who should "bring back the preserved of Israel" and be "a light for the nations" (Isaiah 49:6; see also Psalm 110:1; Luke 2:32), and who "was wounded for our transgressions; He was crushed for our iniquities ... and with His stripes we are healed" (Isaiah 53:5).

First, regarding the necessity or voluntary nature of good works, it is clear that in the Augsburg Confession and its Apology these expressions are often used and repeated--good works are necessary. Likewise, they say it is necessary to do good works, which necessarily follow faith and reconciliation. Likewise, we necessarily are to do, and must do, the kind of good works God has commanded. In the Holy Scriptures themselves teh words necessity, needful, and necessary, as well as ought and must, are used to describe what we are bound to do because of God's ordinance, command, and will. (See Romans 13:5; 1 Corinthians 9:9; Acts 5:29; John 15:12; 1 John 4:21).

Afterward, a schism arose between some theologians because of the two words necessary and free. The one side argued that the word necessary should not be used about the new obedience, which, they say, does not flow from necessity and coercion, but from a voluntary spirit. The other side insisted on the word necessary. They say obedience is not our option, but regenerate people are obliged to render this obedience.
