"... there came a hideous and painful festering wound upon the people who have the permanent imprint of the dangerous creature and who throw themselves prostrate in homage of its image."
Revelation 15: Holy Smoke
As John watched, smoke filled the heavenly Holy of Holies, preventing anyone from entering in. For John, this would have brought to mind God’s instruction to Moses that God later portrayed in all reality. #Revelation15 #HolySmoke #Shekinah

Revelation 15: The Sea of Glass Flickering Red
After John took in the angels, he saw the glassy sea spread out beneath or before them, and a scene of worship and adulation. #Revelation15 #BowlsofGodsWrath #GlassySea

Revelation 15: Reprise of the Glassy Sea
It seems John was gazing up into the sky, or perhaps he was in a transported state in heaven. Either way, what came before him now took his breath away. #GlassySea #Revelation15 #SongofMoses #SongoftheLamb

Revelation 14: Future Fulfilment
Futurist theologians look ahead, staying alert to the signs of impending divine rescue in the Rapture and divine judgement in the Great Tribulation. For futurist scholars, Revelation 14 remains a pivotal event yet to occur. #Revelation14 #Apocalypse

Revelation 14: Historical Fulfilment
Revelation 14:14-20 speaks of harvesting earth and trampling the grapes of that harvest in the winepress of God’s wrath. But it is not juice that runs deep and red, it is an immense river of blood. What is being depicted here? #Revelation14 #Winepress

Revelation 14: The Winepress of God’s Wrath
Whatever this passage may mean in concrete terms, for its intended audience it was as if the Lord were saying, “I hear your cries, and I see your pain. I have not forgotten you." #Revelation14 #Winepress #GrapesofWrath

Revelation 14: Blessed Are the Dead
Whether from the point of the cross, or from the point of each believer’s death, the blessing is the same—believers will be in the Lord, receiving rest and refreshment from their earthly ordeal, and rewarded for their enduring faith. #Revelation14

Revelation 14: Fire and Brimstone
Expositors agree this is one of the strongest supporting passages for the doctrine of hell. But is it a literal description? #Revelation14 #Hell #CupofGodsWrath #FireandBrimstone

Revelation 14: Fallen, Fallen is Babylon
Technically I should have translated “it” as “she,” but I did not. Because even more technically, in English, a city is not a female. It is a very large cluster of buildings organized as an entity. Babylon is not a woman. #Babylon #FallenFallen #Rev14
