We conclude our journey through Revelation with a powerful vision of God making "all things new." We'll explore the magnificent reality of a new heaven and earth, where God Himself dwells with His people, bringing eternal peace, comfort, and joy.
In Revelation 19 and 20 we witness the dramatic return of Jesus Christ, the King of Kings, who brings justice and final victory against evil. Together, we will unpack the events of His final war, His sovereign reign during the millennium, His ultimate defeat of Satan, and the reality of the final judgment before the Great White Throne. Be encouraged and challenged as we see that history is moving decisively toward a day when Christ's victory is complete, justice is perfectly fulfilled, and the new eternal realities are established.
Revelation 15 - 16 unveils seven golden bowls brimming with God’s wrath, poised to be poured onto an unrepentant world. Before any drop is spilled, the victorious saints sing their praises to God. In these chapters, we are shown that judgment is a holy response to persistent evil. This passage urges every hearer to examine whom we worship, trust in the righteousness of God’s justice, and remain clothed in Christ while we watch for His return.
In Revelation 14, the vision shifts from the chaos of the beast to the victory of the Lamb. We see Christ standing on Mount Zion with His redeemed, hear the final proclamations of warning and mercy from three angels, and witness two great harvests, one of salvation, the other of judgment. This chapter presents a clear call: follow the Lamb with unwavering devotion, resist the seductive power of the world, and remain faithful in the face of pressure. As the battle between light and darkness intensifies, Revelation 14 reminds us that the outcome is sure. The Lamb will reign, and those who follow Him will find eternal rest. Choose your allegiance, follow the Lamb wherever He goes.
At the time the New Testament was being written, some believed there was no resurrection, and this teaching was taking root in some of the minds of those in the early church. The Apostle Paul addressed this head-on near the end of his letter to the church in Corinth, and in so doing, teaches us important truths, so important that your life and eternity depend upon them.
In Revelation 13, the dragon, Satan, escalates his war against the followers of Christ by summoning two powerful beasts, one rising from the sea, the other from the earth. These beasts are agents of deception and domination, seeking to draw the world into false worship and to persecute all who remain loyal to the Lamb. In the face of such opposition, God’s people are called to patient endurance, faithful resistance, and spiritual wisdom. This passage challenges us to recognize the battle behind the scenes and to stand firm in our allegiance to Christ.
Through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony, God’s people overcome. Even as the dragon wages war, we are not abandoned—God protects, sustains, and strengthens us to stand firm.
In Revelation 11:15-19, we witness a moment of triumph and finality as the kingdom of this world becomes the kingdom of our Lord and His Christ. The seventh trumpet sounds and heaven erupts in worship, declaring the eternal reign of Jesus. This passage reminds us that no matter how chaotic the world seems, God's plan is unfolding toward His ultimate victoIn this message, we will explore the significance of the full arrival of God's kingdom, the response of worship in heaven, and the sobering reality of judgment and reward. As we await Christ’s return, how should we live in light of this certainty? This passage calls us to faithfulness, worship, and hopeful anticipation of the day when Christ will reign forever and ever.
Before the seventh trumpet sounds, a mighty angel descends with a little scroll, proclaiming, “There will be no more delay!” John is then commanded to eat the scroll, which tastes sweet but turns his stomach sour, signifying that God’s Word brings comfort, conviction, joy, and judgment. Revelation 10 invites us to humbly trust God’s sovereign timing, boldly share His truth, and patiently await the fulfillment of His perfect plan.
Revelation 9 presents a terrifying vision of judgment as demonic forces are unleashed upon the earth, bringing torment and destruction. Yet, despite overwhelming suffering, many refuse to repent, clinging to their idolatry and sin. This passage reveals that judgment alone does not soften hardened hearts; it also serves as a wake-up call—a final plea for repentance before the ultimate end. It urges us to examine our own hearts and turn to Christ while there is still time. Rather than resisting God’s warnings, we must respond in faith, living as those sealed by His grace.
