Scripture Reading: Revelation 9:12-14:8 Memory Verses: Revelation 12:10-11 And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, “Now the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. The Christians in John’s day faced incredible challenges from the devil in the form of the devotees to the worship of the emperor of Rome. Domitian had proclaimed himself a god and demanded that all the citizens and non-citizens worship him by offering a pinch of incense. He thought to unite the citizens behind him by this means. In every city government agents enforced Domitian’s ruling. The Christians in the seven churches of Asia had to face the choice of whether to serve Lord Domitian or Lord Christ. Of course, Satan himself had empowered the emperor to persecute the church. But Satan and Domitian would not win this war. The dragon, the old serpent who lies and murders, the devil, never wins in the end. He may draw many to his side and focus his attack on God’s people, but he cannot overpower the Lord Christ or those who follow him. In the second century, it was often said of Christianity, “The blood of the martyrs is the seed of the kingdom.” The more Rome killed them, the bigger the church grew. The church has outlasted Rome and many other things. It is an eternal kingdom (Luke 1:33). It is eternal because the Lord Christ rules over it, and He is eternal and omnipotent. No one can destroy Him, but He will one day judge them. Thought Questions: Do I serve the world or do I serve the Lord Christ? Do I see the victory beyond this life? Do I realize the bigger picture than here and now? |
