Prophecy of Revelation
“The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place.” Revelation 1:1 (NIV)
The prophecy of Revelation is to assure us that we will be delivered from the wrath that will destroy God’s enemies. The oppressors of His saints will be judged, and thankfully God is not keeping us in the dark in regard to His future plans of justice, though we may not fully understand all the details we can trust in the Lord who will deliver.
In Revelation we have the big picture of the plan of redemption and should have peace that the prophecy underscores the promised Savior, His ministry of empowering the church in a wicked age, and His ultimate deliverance of those who long for His appearing.
Let’s pray today that as we face the headlines of our day, we will turn to the returning Prince of Peace.
