Rev. 13 [The Message]

The book of Revelation speaks of many fearful and traumatic events yet to occur on the earth. It’s the description of how God wraps everything up and gives us our entrance into Eternal Life with Him in Heaven. (O Hallelujah!)

In spite of all the scary things described there, the saints whose names are in the Lamb’s Book of Life are encouraged to stand their ground, hold firmly to their faith in Christ, and wait for God to gloriously redeem them. We are to have NO FEAR. In fact, this is probably one of the main reasons God had John record what he saw … so that we would identify these calamities and trials when they occur. We have the benefit of reading about how it all turns out. It will be worth it!
