Wooing and warning

The Revelation is a bitter-sweet book. (Rev 10:9) On the one hand we see the fulfillment of God’s mysterious plan and the redemption of his people. (Rev 7:14) On the other we see the judgment of those who refuse to repent even in the face of supernatural wrath. (Rev 9:20) While I long for the day when God will glorify his people and restore his creation, I know that it must get much worse before it gets better. Revelation is a complicated book with a simple message: God is going to judge. Repent and receive his grace and mercy while time remains. Though the book is filled with judgment, it’s purpose is redemptive.
