WORD: OC's 60-Day New Testament Plan

DAY 58 OF 60

The One True King

To me, this set of verses is a bit unsettling and hard to understand. The symbolism and weighty content can be intimidating for the everyday reader. Thankfully, we have the power of the Holy Spirit to help us understand things when we sometimes don’t. And this is what was revealed to me: The first section of this reading deals with God’s wrath and judgment. Chapter seven was particularly beautiful to me. It paints a word picture of the twelve tribes of Israel, every person who has been washed with the blood of the Lamb, and all the angels singing praises to our God during the judgment. What an amazing thought to see every single person singing praises to God!

Chapter eight and nine at first seem unsettling to me because they describe what will happen to the earth on judgment day - think fire, smoke, and torture. I would expect that this would be enough to get most peoples’ attention. But, it says that after all of this has happened, there will still be people who do not repent and they will keep on sinning. This is just crazy to me! We are fallen people. We are sinners. And even when we are offered eternal life through Christ, we keep on sinning. However, when reading Revelation, there is no doubt that God will be triumphant in the end, He will bring His kingdom to Earth, and everyone will bow down and worship the one true King.
