Revelation's Final Conflict


Listen Later

Today’s topic is Revelation’s Final Conflict. 

The message of Revelation is much more than cryptic symbols, strange beasts, and odd images. It speaks of eternal truths given by a loving God to an end-time generation. The conflict between Christ and Satan began in heaven over worship. It will come to its final climax over worship.

Throughout Revelation, worship and creation are indissolubly linked. Revelation 14:7 calls us to worship the Lord of all creation. Against the backdrop of evolution, which has taken the world by storm during the past two centuries, the Sabbath is an eternal reminder of our identity. It constantly reinforces that we are created beings and that our Creator is worthy of our allegiance and worship. This is one reason the devil hates the Sabbath so much.

The dragon’s war is against those who keep the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus and uphold the testimony of Jesus, according to Revelation 14:12 and Revelation 12:17. 

Worshiping the Creator through keeping the commandments of God stands in direct opposition to worshiping the beast. God will have an end-time people who are loyal to Him despite the most significant opposition and fiercest persecution in history. While the observance of the false Sabbath in compliance with the law of the state, contrary to the fourth commandment, will be an avowal of allegiance to a power that is in opposition to God, the keeping of the true Sabbath, in obedience to God’s law, is an evidence of loyalty to the Creator. There are only two parties on this earth—those who stand under the bloodstained banner of Jesus Christ and those who stand under the black banner of rebellion. 

The twelfth chapter of Revelation represents the great conflict between the obedient and the disobedient. Satanic agencies have made the earth a stage for horrors that no language can describe. War and bloodshed are carried on by nations claiming to be Christian. A disregard for the law of God has brought its sure result. The great conflict now being waged is not merely a strife of man against man. On one side stands the Prince of life, acting as man’s substitute and surety; on the other, the prince of darkness, with the fallen angels under his command.
