Revelation 19:1 stood out to me today, After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a great multitude in heaven shouting: “Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God. After all the judgement God will have on the evils of this world, He will still deserve our worship and praise because He is a just and righteous God.

Not sure what to say about today’s reading in Revelation 18 other than God uses Babylon as the example of how He will punish for the evils of this world. For our application today, we need to remember to be contributors of good and not evil. This world does not need help adding evil, it needs more people who shine a light of goodness and reflect the love of Christ.

The verse that stood out to me today was Revelation 17:14, They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings—and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers.” It’s the same theme that keeps jumping out at me. In the end, the Lamb will triumph over all evil.

I don’t have much to say about today’s reading other than to say that God’s wrath is complete. There is no hiding from God’s need from righteousness other than accepting His perfect grace.

Where would I be without Jesus? That is a question I often ask myself. The video below by Shane and Shane reminded me how empty my life would be without Him. In the end, I could have it all and still have nothing if not for His saving grace and the Holy Spirit’s presence in my life.

In Revelation 15:3-4 the angels sing the song of Moses, 3 and sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb: “Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty. Just and true are your ways, King of the nations. 4 Who will not fear you, Lord, and bring glory to your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.” The song of Moses celebrated Israel’s deliverance from Egypt (Exodus 15). The angels sang this song because it celebrates the deliverance of God’s people from the power of Satan. We should not have to wait until the end times to celebrate the fact that God delivers us through pain and suffering. God is in control and He wants nothing but what is best for us.

As believers we know God will ultimately triumph over all the bad things in this world, but we must be patient for His timing. Revelation 14:12 says, This calls for patient endurance on the part of the people of God who keep his commands and remain faithful to Jesus. The secret to patience is trust and obedience. We can only control the things we can control knowing God is in control over the rest.

Today’s reading caught my attention when I read Revelation 13:9-10, 9 Whoever has ears, let them hear. 10 “If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword they will be killed.” This calls for patient endurance and faithfulness on the part of God’s people. Endurance in the midst of suffering is hard. But it helps to know God is always by our side and the Holy Spirit is always in us.

The verse that stood out to me today was Revelation 12:12, Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short.” Evil in this world works very hard to get shots in while it can, because in the end, God will reign and the devil knows it.
