From the New Testament’s record of Jesus’ Triumphal Entry to Revelation’s Hallelujah! Lord God Almighty reigns…He is worthy of worship. “The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, “Hosanna to the Son of David!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!” When […]
Revelation 19: 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Compare with Revelation 17:14 They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings– and with him will be […]
We often think of war as not being godly and those who serve in armies as somehow not pillars of the faith. Like it’s an unholy pursuit. This passage is encouraging that even though we do not desire war, we’ve been in one since the fall of man back in Genesis. Revelation 19: 11 I […]
It’s nice to receive a wedding announcement, and even better, a wedding invitation. Revelation 19:7 Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. 8 Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.” (Fine linen stands for […]
People have been yearning for the day that evil is overthrown. Rejoicing on the part of God’s people is only natural as an outcome of vindication. So, when we read in Revelation 18 (some of which I will skip for the sake of vignettes in our “Revelation in 40” study) verse 1 and following, “After […]
There are two responses to horror and tragedy: one is a desire to be part of the gapers delay and know what’s going on, but then there is also the thought that you really don’t want to see because of what’s coming. In a movie, you cover your eyes until it’s over. John didn’t have […]
Things are getting really heated and the war will begin soon. As we continue our look at “Revelation in 40” for Lent, the way has been prepared for the adversaries to show up and engage in their demonically inspired war. Revelation 16:12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and […]
Revelation 15:2 And I saw what looked like a sea of glass glowing with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and its image and over the number of its name. They held harps given them by God 3 and sang the song of God’s servant Moses and […]
As we continue our study of the Book of Revelation in 40 vignettes during Lent, we see the world stage being set for the battle to beat all battles…the war to beat all other wars. Revelation 16:12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up […]
The bowls are being poured out and the wrath is intense. Revelation 16:8 The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire. 9 They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but […]
