Revelation 14: 12
The words of three angels precede this verse; (Revelation 14: 6-11)
The first one proclaimed that now is the hour of God’s judgement. We are to fear, glorify and worship him as our Creator.
The second angel proclaimed the fall of Babylon, the wicked city who enticed all to drink her wine of maddening adultery.
The third one proclaimed damnation to anyone who bears the mark of the beast.
Then comes verse 12;
“This calls for patient endurance on the part of the saints who obey God’s commandments and remain faithful to Jesus.”

Times could get hard before Jesus returns. In the face of want and need we will have to remember that the Creator of the Universe is always good and always providing. But we must also never forget that Jesus is the reason that we fear, glorify and worship. Without the testimony of Jesus there is not righteous fear or point to glorification and worship.

In the face of this truth, what will the fall of Babylon mean? Is it a place or an ideology or a government system? Is it Russia? Is it Europe? Is it the USA? All are guilty of drinking that maddening wine. Will this fall bring rejoicing to God’s people or weeping? Or both?
People have questioned the mark of the beast for 2000 years. Is it the tefilim worn by the observant Jews? Is it the world system of credit? Is it the micro chipping of our children or retina or fingerprint identification? Is it in place now or should we still be on the lookout for it? Will be subtle? Is it now subtle?

Here’s what I know that I know that I know, Jesus is my Savior. He made a way for me to come before my Father. His Holy Spirit dwells in me and because of that I am perfect in the eyes of my God. There is no need to fear God the way we should fear Babylon and the mark of Satan.
Holy fear is knowing what we deserve and glorifying God in worship
because of his immeasurable gift to us!
