Dwell On These Things

John 20:1–10 brings us to a moment that literally shifts the course of human history. It begins in the early hours of the morning, while it’s still dark. Mary Magdalene goes to the tomb, struggling with grief, confusion, and a heavy heart. Just days earlier, she had watched Jesus die. The one she trusted, the one she believed was the Messiah, had been crucified. And now, as she approaches the tomb, she notices something unexpected. The stone has been taken away.

Revelation 13 is one of the most intense and often talked about chapters in all of Scripture. It shows us what the world will look like during the future Tribulation, particularly under the rule of the Antichrist and his associate, the False Prophet. I believe this chapter describes real events that will unfold during a literal future period of judgment on the earth.

But even as this chapter reveals darkness, it ultimately points us to something greater. It reminds us that Jesus is still King, His authority is never threatened, and His people are never forgotten.

When we face spiritual battles in our own lives, we don't fight for victory. We fight from victory.

Our confidence isn't in our strength. It's in Christ.

He shed His blood for us.
He defends us against every accusation.
And He will one day bring this conflict to its final end.

Until that day, we keep holding onto the testimony of Jesus.

Because the Lamb who was slain is also the King who reigns.

Life has a way of introducing us to suffering whether we want that introduction or not. None of us plans for hardship. We don’t pencil it into our calendars. Yet every believer eventually encounters seasons of pressure, grief, disappointment, or fear that feel heavier than we imagined we could bear.

The apostle Paul understood that kind of experience. When he wrote 2 Corinthians, he wasn’t writing from a place of easy comfort. He had endured persecution, danger, rejection, and physical suffering for the sake of the gospel. Yet in the opening words of this letter, he begins with praise. Not because life had been easy, but because he had come to know God in the middle of difficulty.

 I recognize that this may be a subject that well-meaning Christians debate for many years to come.  At this point, however, this issue is settled in my heart.  As far as I can see in the Word of God, the One who gave me salvation as a gift has also promised that He won't be taking that gift back.  His promise is the same for you.  If you genuinely trust in Jesus, you will remain united to Him as part of His eternal family forever.

 Having been graced with this blessing, let us live lives that testify to the Lord's goodness to us.  With humility, let us admit that we are undeserving of this great blessing.  Let's continue to pray that the Holy Spirit will open the eyes, ears, and hearts of those who presently do not believe in Jesus so that they will learn to trust Him as well.  And as we serve Jesus with our lives, let's also rest in the peace of knowing He loves us just as much on our worst days as He does on our best days.

There are moments in life when it feels like chaos is winning. Nations rage. Leaders posture. Cultures drift. Personal trials stack up. And if we’re honest, there are days when we may start to wonder, Who’s really in charge here?

Revelation 11:15–19 answers that question with thunder.

“The seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, ‘The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever and ever’.” (Rev. 11:15)

Revelation 11 drops us into the middle of intense prophetic action. Trumpets are sounding. Judgment is unfolding. The nations are restless. And right in the middle of all of it, God does something that feels rather personal. He measures. He appoints witnesses. He protects His purposes. And He makes it unmistakably clear that He isn't finished with this world, with Israel, or with His plan of redemption.

In this passage, there are numbers, symbols, judgments, and deaths. But beneath all of that is a very hopeful message. God knows what belongs to Him. God speaks even when the world refuses to listen. And God always vindicates His truth.

Revelation 10 is certainly an interesting chapter to study, not only because of what it contains, but also because of what came before it.

Up to this point, John has been shown trumpet judgments that shake the earth, darken the skies, and bring humanity face to face with God’s authority. Now, before the seventh trumpet sounds, we see something new inserted. God offers a moment of explanation, reassurance, and recommissioning. Revelation 10 isn't about new judgments as much as it's about renewed confidence in God’s purposes and renewed responsibility for God’s servants.

This chapter reminds us that even in seasons of upheaval, confusion, or waiting, the Lord is still in control. His Word is still open. His plan is still moving forward. And His servants are still called to speak.
