In this Part 1 of 3 sermons on The 7 Seals & 7 Trumpets of Revelation 6,8,9,10, & 11; Gavin does not actually discuss either. Rather, he considers some broad relevant principles of Scripture & Biblical apocalyptic relevant to first understand as a preparation to the following 2 sermons. This preparatory sermon upholds the unique truthfulness of religiously conservative Protestant Christianity, to the absolute exclusion of all other religions or religious beliefs. It also considers the fact that in broad terms, Protestant historicists consider 2 big false religions are especially isolated in the Books of Daniel & Revelation for our attention since they both falsely claim to represent the teachings of Jesus & are large powerful religions, namely, the Romanist delusion of Roman Catholicism under the Antichrist Bishop of Rome, and the Mohammedan delusion of Islam under the false prophet of Mohammed in his Koran. Thus we find in the apocalyptic image of Daniel 2 a division of the Roman Empire into the two legs of the Western Roman Empire & Eastern Roman Empire. And thereafter one of "the feet and toes" (Dan. 2:41) gives rise to Romanism, largely in the area of the old Western Roman Empire; & the other of "the feet and toes" (Dan. 2:41) gives rise to Mohammedanism, largely in the area of the old Eastern Roman Empire. E.g. Gavin refers to how in the tradition of Western art, the Shi'ite Samarra Minaret in Iraq which is a circular staircase winding up around to the top, is used as the basic model for how the Tower of Babel in Gen. 11 is depicted; and he considers elements of the WEIRD and BIZARRE works' righteousness ISLAMIC 'shave off all hair under your underpants' FITRA rules.
