Revelation 17-18
The things of earth will not last. People put their trust in
their jobs, their savings, their homes, their retirement account, but none of
these things will last. Babylon represents the focus of this world, the result
of sinful humanity. There will be those who rise up against Jesus. Those who
refuse to turn to Him. Some will worship the beast and persecute followers of
Jesus. Though they come against the followers of Jesus, though they continue to
reject Him and wage war against Him, they will not win.
Jesus said; "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on
this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome
it." (Matthew 16:18, NIV) When the final battle takes place, Jesus and
His Church will remain standing. We all face challenges in life, but in the end,
only one thing matters; our relationship with Jesus. Everything else is going
to be destroyed. All the luxuries will turn to dust. We will stand before the
judgment seat of Christ where we will hear; “well done my good and faithful
servant” or “away from me, I never knew
you.” Our choices now affect our eternal life.
