The book of Revelation is more than a book if judgment and mystery. It is “the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants.” (1:1). One of the key overriding factors that grows out of this letter, is that God is in control of all things that are happening. Many times we get caught up on the details of the book, and we do not see the big picture. We are reminded at the very beginning of this book, that it was given by Father to the Son to show His servants. In Revelation 1:3, there is a blessing presented to all who read and hear the words of this prophecy, and keep these things which are written in it, being reminded that the time is near. The blessing is focused around the reality that God is in control In a world filled with seemingly overwhelming chaos, we can know with certainty that it really is not chaos at all, it is the all fits withing the sovereign control of God. While people believe that they are charting their own destiny, the reality is that while the decision they are making are making, they are totally … READ MORE

DEATH! People have attempted to avoid this reality for years. Explorers looked for the fountain of youth, Dr’s today are looking for ways to overrule it. But the reality is that one firm truth is that we are all subject to it. As the Lord opens the 4th seal, in Revelation 6:7-8, the extent of destruction brought about by war and famine is then quantified. Authority was given to death and the grave to destroy a fourth of the population of the world. We are told death will use four tools in its grim task, War, famine, wild beasts, and pestilence. We see all these things present in our current state, they will just be magnified because of the global state of affairs. The first four seals clearly describe awe-inspiring, frightening judgments without parallel in human history. Noting this devastating has happened, yet these first four seal judgments are just the beginning of the horrific, worldwide woes that the sinful, rebellious world will experience. What are we to do about these events? We must prepare our hearts and minds for the reality of these things while there is still opportunity. The time is short, but grace is long. We do … READ MORE
