Heaven and Earth— Heaven rejoices over the fall of Babylon, symbolizing the ultimate defeat of evil. The marriage supper of the Lamb is joyously proclaimed, signifying the final union between Christ and His Church. As the vision continues, Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, appears in His full glory, riding a white horse. With power and authority, He brings divine judgment and wages war against the beast, the false prophet, and the rebellious nations. How can we better share the message to all those who suffer that Jesus is King and has already conquered the evils of this world?

The Rev. Vernon Wendt, pastor of Messiah Lutheran Church, Moundsview, MN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Revelation 19:1-21.

Shrouded in mysterious visions of cosmic battles, plagues, and catastrophic events, the Apocalypse of St. John, or as it’s more commonly known--the Book of Revelation, paints a haunting picture of the end times. Cryptic symbols of beasts, the rise of the Antichrist, and the final judgment unfold with unsettling intensity, revealing the ultimate clash between good and evil. Yet, beneath its terrifying imagery, Revelation is also a deeply personal letter, offering comfort to early Christians facing persecution. It reassures them—and believers today—of God's control over history, His promise of redemption, and the certainty of Christ's victory.

Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God’s Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
