Revelation

The past several days I have been reading through the last book of the Bible, Revelation. I've read it dozens of times over the years and taught it several times. However I am still thrilled as I read it again. The word revelation, speaks of an unveiling. That is what the book is all about. In this great book of the Bible God is pulling back the curtain and giving us a glimpse of the spirit world around us that cannot be seen with human eyes. This morning I read chapter 12, which speaks of a war in which the angel, Michael goes to war with Satan and banishes him from Heaven for all time. The chapter speaks of a great spiritual battle that results in a defeated Satan who then unleashes his fury on the earth. This will take place during a future time known as the Great Tribulation. Revelation is a clear declaration that God is still in charge and will accomplish His perfect will. It is a comforting reminder that believers in Jesus are on the winning side. Praise God! Regardless of how bad things seem to get I know how the story ends!
