Topic: Their Days Are Numbered! [Saturday June 27, 2015]
Text: Revelation 16:1-12
KEY VERSE: “And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain” (Revelation 16:10).
Evil, with all that is contrary to the teachings of the Holy Bible, is on such ascendancy that a great number of people are doubting prophecy and becoming “scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation” (2 Peter 3:3,4).
There are people who believe that everything begins and ends here on earth. Standing on this logic, sinful man has conducted himself with impunity, enacting laws and erecting systems that challenge God and His servants. Thus, there are many abominable acts as same-sex marriage, bestiality (man beast intimacy), human sacrifices, senseless mass murders, rape, sacrilegious church worship, blasphemous interpretation of Bible doctrines and scores of other heinous violation of God’s injunctions.
Yet, one thing is sure: God will intervene. At the time of the Great Tribulation, when the true Church would have been raptured, when the blood-redeemed believers would be in great joy in the Lord’s presence in heaven, unbearable torment would be the lot of the wicked on earth (Revelation 16:10).
The world headquarters of the Satan-backed Antichrist and false prophet would be toppled (verse 10), as God rains His wrath of plagues on them and their followers. Their refusal to repent and honour God will be met with fierce angelic rage to prove the superiority of the Creator over mutinous creatures.
The days of this irreverent system are numbered and this knowledge should serve as a sober warning to the unbelieving to abandon their world of sin and darkness and embrace the light and righteousness of Jesus Christ.
