Revelation 14:14-20 presents two harvests. The Antichrist has been revealed and made war on the saints. The trumpets have plagued a third of the earth. Three angels have given final warnings. The harvest of the righteous by Jesus coming in the clouds takes place, followed by the harvest of the wicked, who are compared to grapes thrown into the wine press to be trampled in God's wrath. The latter is the subject of the next four chapters.

Before God sends out the seven angels with the seven bowls of wrath that will affect the whole world, He sends three angels with an invitation and warnings. The first makes certain all have heard the gospel. The second announces the fall of Babylon, and the third warns of eternal punishment for those who take the mark of the beast.

For we say that faith was counted to Abraham as righteousness. How, then, was it counted to him? Was it before or after he had been circumcised? It was not after but before he was circumcised. He received the sign of circumcision as a seal of the righteousness that he had by faith while he was still uncircumcised. The purpose was to make him the father of all who believe without being circumcised, so that righteousness would be counted to them as well and to make him the father of the circumcised who are not merely circumcised but who also walk in the footsteps of the faith that our father Abraham had before he was circumcised.

The sermon addresses who the 144,000 are on Mount Zion, where Mount Zion is, and the prophecies concerning Zion, plus why the descriptions of virgins and firstborn apply to the faithful.

In Revelation, we are introduced to the first beast, one that is drawn from Daniel 7. Satan gives him his power and authority so that he causes all who are not in the Lamb's book of life to worship him. The sermon brings out various interpretations of the time period and the of the deadly wound.

The dragon has only a short time, so he pursues the people of God with false teachings and persecution. But we have the Word and the Spirit to crush him under our feet. In the end, the Lamb wins! We just need to rely on the everlasting arms of our mighty Savior and get our directions from His Word.

Satan has served as an adversary to God, even arguing against God's merciful nature. But now that Jesus' blood has paid our sin debt, he has no basis for his accusations. He is now trying to keep people from service to God with temptations, false doctrine, and persecution. We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.

False teachers have been prevalent throughout Christianity. In today's message, we will address some of the NAR's false teachings and their ties to the New Age. God's word guards us against false teachers because of its sufficiency, inerrancy, clarity, and necessity.
