  • Revealing the Lamb's Feast

    Revealing the Lamb's Feast
    2025/10/26
    In our anxiety-filled world, many believers have accepted the false premise that we're heroes in a story where evil might actually triumph. Cultural voices from media and sometimes even pulpits convince us to live with constant worry about whether good will prevail. However, the book of Revelation provides a radically different perspective: God's victory isn't just likely—it's absolutely guaranteed.Revelation teaches us to reject the propaganda of fear and anxiety. The seven seals, trumpets, and bowls all point to the same inevitable truth: while evil may appear powerful temporarily, it will ultimately be judged and destroyed forever. The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and His Christ, and He will reign forever. This isn't wishful thinking but the certain end of the story.As Christians, we occupy a unique position between celebration and anticipation. We celebrate what Jesus has already accomplished through His death and resurrection while anticipating His second coming. This allows us to say 'Hallelujah' even when circumstances seem dire. The marriage supper of the Lamb in Revelation 19 represents the ultimate feast where heaven and earth are fully reconciled. We prepare for this banquet through righteous deeds—being meek, merciful, generous, and faithful as outlined in the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus achieves victory not through conventional warfare but through His sacrificial love, with His robe already dipped in His own blood. His weapon is the word from His mouth, demonstrating that God's triumph is so certain there's no real contest. Everyone lives demonstrating loyalty either to the beast or to the Lamb—the only question remaining is our allegiance.

  • Revealing the Beast

    Revealing the Beast
    2025/10/12
    The fear surrounding 666 and the mark of the beast has persisted for centuries, but this fear often misses the deeper truth of Revelation 13. John wrote to first-century Christians using symbolic language they understood, describing a beast that combined elements from Daniel's prophecies to represent Rome and all empires that demand divine worship from their citizens. The beast receives power from Satan and represents any kingdom that exalts itself above God while exploiting the world for its own gain.Many early Christians had been deceived by Roman propaganda, believing the empire brought peace and prosperity without recognizing the spiritual cost of their allegiance. The mark on the right hand or forehead symbolizes loyalty to the empire, allowing participation in economic life but requiring worship of Caesar. This parallels Deuteronomy 6, where God's people were to bind His word on their hands and foreheads as a sign of devotion. The choice was clear: bear either the beast's mark or the Lamb's mark, with no middle ground possible.This message applies directly to modern believers who face similar temptations to compromise their allegiance to Jesus for political, social, or economic benefits. The mark of the beast represents self-preservation through divided loyalty, choosing comfort and acceptance over exclusive devotion to Christ. Every generation must resist cultural conformity and examine where their ultimate loyalty lies, remaining faithful to Jesus even when it costs everything.

  • Revealing God's Judgement

    Revealing God's Judgement
    2025/10/05
    Revelation addresses our deepest questions about God's justice in a world filled with suffering. Rather than dismissing these questions, Scripture invites us to wrestle with them while offering a framework for understanding God's judgment. Throughout Revelation, we see a pattern where God allows humanity to experience the consequences of sin while continually offering opportunities for repentance—yet most people stubbornly refuse to turn to Him. The stark contrast between the responses of the wicked and the faithful is revealing. Even as their world crumbles, the unrepentant hide from God rather than seeking Him. Meanwhile, believers overcome through faithfulness to Christ, conquering 'by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death.' This paradoxical victory—winning by remaining loyal to Jesus even when it costs everything—stands at the heart of Revelation's message. The book calls Christians to wake up from spiritual apathy, recognize the true character of the world, repent of sin, stand in solidarity with suffering believers worldwide, and maintain unwavering loyalty to Christ regardless of the consequences.
