Far from being a cryptic prophecy about the future, Revelation emerges as a manual for following Christ in our daily lives. The central message revolves around the imagery of being ‘marked’ – either by the world (symbolized by Babylon) or by God. This marking isn’t just a symbol; it’s a reflection of our values, choices, and ultimate allegiance. As we delve into Revelation 14, we’re reminded that true discipleship means ‘following the Lamb wherever He goes.’
