Hallelujah from the Hellscape

What does it look like when everything the world has trusted in finally crumbles? In Revelation 18 and 19, we’re brought face to face with one of the most sobering moments in all of Scripture: the fall of Babylon and the triumphant arrival of Christ. These two chapters pull back the curtain on the end of history and show us that mourning and repentance are not the same thing. The world will grieve when its idols fail, but grief alone does not lead us to God.

But as 2 Corinthians 7:10 reminds us, godly grief leads to repentance and salvation, while worldly sorrow leads only to death. There is a difference between being sorry you got caught and truly turning to Christ.

Yet Jesus is Faithful and True. He speaks and His enemies fall. He comes and His bride is ready. The question isn’t whether He will win, it’s whether we’re preparing ourselves for that day.

Are you living for the moment when the marriage of the Lamb has come, or are you still chasing the idols this world offers? Watch or listen in as Pastor David leads us to consider what it means to endure, to repent, and to finish well.
