12.15.2015 New Testament: Rev 6.13–17

To read the Bible in a year, read Revelation 6 on December 15, In the year of our Lord 2015

By Don Ruhl

There are two competing themes in the Book of Revelation. Revelation 13.4 reveals the theme of the Beast, but first, the Book of Revelation reveals the theme of the Lamb of God,

And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of His wrath has come, and who is able to stand?” (Revelation 6.13–17). 

Who is able to stand before the Lamb? No one in sin and in rebellion against the Lamb of God, can stand before Him, but will experience His wrath.

The Earth thinks the Beast cannot be withstood, but truly the Book of Revelation shows that Jesus wins and the Beast loses.
