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: 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
Revelation 14: Eternal Gospel
Whatever this “eternal good news” might be, scholars from every perspective agree that it is an authentic Gospel, and not the anathema Paul warned of. #Revelation14 #EverlastingGospel #EternalGoodNews
Revelation 14: Reprise of the 144,000
All perspectives recognize the unique position of Chapter 14 acting as a bridge between what has so far transpired and what is about to come. John described the Lamb of God standing upon Mount Zion, surrounded by a mighty company. #Revelation14 #144000
Revelation 14: The Final Cycle
