The Stakes of Calamity (Revelation 14)Show more

In Revelation 14 we find another recess. The best way we might understand this chapter is like a sports announcer who is giving a recap and clarification in the middle of a game. Of course, the stakes of Revelation are much higher than any sporting event, but this might be our best understanding of this chapter. We are reminded that God has prepared a way for His People, that their holiness and purity is important. We are reminded that God is victorious, that Babylon is fallen; and even the world is bewitched by the beast at the time of this chapter, God is still victorious and the beast has done nothing to change the score. As far as our kind is concerned, we are reminded to endure, that we must compromise for nothing, but face the travail which is set before us. God will take care of those who stand, but they must be willing to endure.
