On this last day of our forty day journey we find that there is a lot of chaos going on. Blasphemy, idolatry, prostitution, retribution, blood, astonishment, thunder, lightening, and many voices speaking all coincide amidst a confused society.
Sometimes it seems like everybody is doing the same thing. Sometimes in life we do things in accordance to everybody else – everybody cheats on their spouse so we cheat on our spouse; everybody steals so we steal, and everybody lies so we lie. But our prescribed text today in the midst of all the judgment, all the plagues, all the disdain, and all the unrighteousness, you find those who have not accepted the mark of the beast on their forehead or hands. They have displayed their faith, refused to be cowards and endured to the end and they were blessed – Can you endure? Is your name going to appear in the Lamb’s book of life? If the Lord will give to us according to what we have done, so what will you receive?
Jesus says, surely I am coming soon. Is your testimony: So be it, Come, Lord Jesus?
