Sermon Recap
Sermon Summary
We have seen throughout the Revealed series that God issues warnings before His judgements. In this sermon, we see God’s urgent and final warning to all nations of the earth before the certain judgement upon those who worship the beast, and accept his mark. We are urged to put our trust in God alone, to persevere in faith, and avoid drifting, for when we put our trust in anything but God…in what He has already condemned, we will receive divine judgement in this life and the next. We were reminded that when we persevere, we will receive eternal rest and not eternal torment.
