Chapters: Revelation 15-17
Message Title: Being Prepared For Christ's Return
Hello My Friend,
As Christians, we can rejoice in the fact that God is gracious and merciful to forgive us of our sins before and after we got saved. His promise is to never leave nor forsake us, but that does not mean we will not face any consequences for our actions after we are saved. If we are saved by no righteousness of our own, why does God care how we live? We are His children, He expects us to be thankful and grateful for His saving our souls by living in a way that pleases Him. It's not about being perfect, it's about allowing the perfect Christ to live in and through us so the lost can find Him also. “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” - Matthew 5:16.
Unless you have been living isolated in a cave somewhere you can see the world is a mess, not only are these psycho ISIS people killing people everywhere they go, religions are changing the image of God, immorality and sinful lifestyles are dominant, more people than ever are living in poverty, and if that was not bad enough, the weather is out of control. The signs and wonders of Christ's return are unfolding as we speak, we who are saved need to be telling as many as we can before it's too late. After all of God's people are gathered and safe from harm, God will send one last judgment upon the earth, seven plagues that will destroy it completely. Jesus reveals something amazing to John, all who have been saved by the blood of Christ singing and praising God.
“And I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvellous, seven angels having the seven last plagues; for in them is filled up the wrath of God. And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints. Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are made manifest.” - Revelation 15:1-4.
“Great and marvellous are thy works,” To read these passages to an unsaved soul, and perhaps some who are saved, God could not possibly bring such judgment upon the earth. But think about this, God is the Creator of everything, the devil took it upon himself to turn everything He made into something evil, and while God let him have his glory for a while, it and he will come to an end, along with those who followed hims ways. While God is merciful and gracious, He is also a just God, meaning He gives all the same opportunity. God will not save those who reject Him, do not believe in Him, made themselves a god, deceived His people, and above all, have not received His Son as their Saviour. “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.” - 1 Corinthians 6:9-11.
God sends the seven angles with the vials containing the seven plagues and they begin to pour each vial upon the earth. It is then that John sees three evil spirits come from the devils mouth in one last attempt to fight God.
“And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.” - Revelation 16:13-17.
“It is done.” Just as Jesus on the cross proclaimed that what He came here to accomplish was finished, God will proclaim that He has once and for all put an end to the devil and all the sin he brought with him upon the earth. Jesus reminds His people that He is coming, we are expected to be ready for His sudden return, and to always be watching for Him. It is important that we who are saved live in a way that is pleasing to God, it may seem as though He will not return for a while, but things happen quickly, and those who are caught not living right will be judged accordingly. Being saved does not exempt us from facing judgment, we too will be accountable for what we did after we are saved, but it does by the mercies and grace of God save us from being destroyed along with the devil and the earth. “For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.” - Romans 14:11,12.
John receives another vision, a woman clothed in purple and scarlet with a name on her forehead, MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH, and a beast, an angel explains this vision to John. “The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is. And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth. And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled. And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.” - Revelation 17:8-11,17,18.
“whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world,” These are those who are not saved and will be here after the rapture and resurrection of the saved. Babylon the great, is the God-defying forces in politics and religion that are already beginning to control the world. This apostate federation of churches and world religions will give full support to a one-world political and economic system that will be ruled by the Antichrist. Eventually, this false super church will fiercely oppose the true Christ, but He, the devil, and all who follow him will be cast into the lake of fire. Many so called Christian religions try to hide and ignore theses facts, but it's happening right before their eyes. We are given ample warnings to understand what is happening and about to come, and if our names are not written in the Lamb's book of life, we will not be saved from any of it.
“For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son: That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.” - John 5:22-25.
Today's Prayer: God, Thank You for sending Your Son to save me, He is the truth, life, and only way to be saved from hell and the destruction of the world. How You entrusted me to know that is beyond me, but I am grateful, thankful, and blessed to be one of Your children. Lord, keep me faithful and strong in Your Word, lead me and guide me in Your truths, and let me not fall into the deception of those working for the Antichrist. Give me Your power to live in obedience to Your commands, and let me be ready for the day He returns. In Jesus' name. Amen.
God Bless You, I am praying for you,
Christina
