COME OUT OF BABYLON John the Revelator wrote that he heard “another voice” calling out, perhaps the voice of Christ to His people. Like the angel who told Lot to get out of Sodom, He warned them to come out of Babylon. Many have offered opinions as to the identity of Babylon, but the most

CHRIST THE LAMB HAS OVERCOME THE WORLD In the apostle John’s revelation, he saw a beast with ten horns, which represents the Antichrist and the ten nations that unite to follow him. They unite to “make war with the Lamb,” which is Christ Jesus, and with “those who are with Him.” Yet, those who make

THE VERSE YOU WON’T SEE ON A CHRISTMAS CARD I’ve never seen Revelation 12:5 quoted on a Christmas card, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be. When the apostle John was exiled on the Isle of Patmos, the Lord pulled back the curtain between heaven and earth and invited old John to see things from

THE BOOK OF REVELATION IS FOR THE CHURCH As John reported the occasion and purpose of his writing in Revelation 1, so now at its conclusion, he reminds us again. Jesus appeared to him and sent an angel to show to him the “things which must shortly come to pass” (Rev. 1:1). And John was

ARE YOU BOUND FOR THAT CITY? John saw the “holy city,” the “New Jerusalem,” come down. This is the very place that Christ went to prepare, saying, “In my Father’s house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?And if I
