Everyday Life in Revelation Part 8: Certain VictoryНамуна

The key to walk away with from this reading is simple; those who continue to the end in their sin, actively rejecting the Lord will experience the consequence of their wickedness. This judgment will come at the perfect time. Just like crops are only gathered when they are fully matured, so God will judge planet Earth when her wickedness is fully ripened.

Sometimes we get frustrated when we see sin and wickedness going on with little or no consequence. Take heart! Remember that the wicked will endure no longer than what God has allowed. The judgment will come at God’s set and perfect time. Justice is not delayed. God will pronounce it at just the perfect time. As we see in this passage, when God judges the wicked, none shall escape His net.

This gives us hope. The wicked will not prosper. It also helps us not to seek revenge for deeds committed against us. We leave the vengeance in God’s hands. He knows far better than we what the wicked deserve.
