Judgment. It is true, isn’t it, that the Bible teaches over and over that there is a judgment to come? As we read these readings from the Book of Revelation, we are aware that there are many, many symbols being used (some, if not most of them, has a meaning that is somewhat hidden from our full understanding). Ultimately, the teaching and message for us in the church which is found in this Book of Revelation is that: God is in charge, and ultimately all things will be accomplished according to His Will and Plan. This includes the fact that evil forces will continue to the end and then be destroyed. Kingdoms will fall and God’s Kingdom shall reign. Righteousness will ultimately prevail. As a Christian, isn’t it wonderful and almost over-whelming and so very reassuring to know that God is in control? God will destroy all evil. God will ultimately bring the victory and as Christians, we will be with the Lord forever. How about that? Pause to thank Him now that you can say, “Lord, I believe in You be faith in the Lord Jesus. No matter what happens, or when, I will trust You, and I will say with the psalmist of old (Psalm 31:15), ‘My times are in Your hands, O Lord!’ Amen.”
