BUT THE COWARDLY, THE UNBELIEBING / REVELATION 21:8

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 21:8

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

BUT THE COWARDLY, THE UNBELIEBING / REVELATION 21:8

God mentions several classes of people whose place will be in the fiery lake of burning sulfur (Revelation 20:14).

  1. The “cowardly” are those who lack faith in God and who fear the disapproval and threat of people more than they value loyalty to Christ and the truth of His Word. Their personal security and status among others on earth mean more to them than faithfulness to God. “The cowardly” include the compromisers among God’s people who give up the spiritual fight and do not overcome evil (Mark 8:35; 1 Thessalonians 2:4; 2 Timothy 2:12-13).
  2. The “unbelieving” includes those who have never believed or trusted God, those who have rejected His truth, as well as those who once believed in Christ but abandoned their faith in God. Such people choose to follow their own selfish interests and lusts. As a result, they are overcome by various sins, such as those listed here.
  3. The “vile” are those whose behavior directly offends God and provokes His anger. This applies particularly to those who claim to follow Christ but do things that defy the principles of His Word. Such attitudes and actions are detestable to God.
  4. “Murderers” are those who deliberately, willfully or knowingly take human life without justifiable purpose (according to God’s Word) through their choices and actions.
  5. “Sexually immoral” people are those who defiantly engage in behaviors that cross God’s boundaries and guidelines for sexual intimacy.
  6. “Those who practice magic arts” include those involved in sorcery, witchcraft, secret rituals and incantations, or drug-induced experiences, particularly in the name of religion.
  7. “Idolaters” are those who worship false gods or anything in place of the one true God.
  8. “Liars” are all those who live and act deceitfully, including those in leadership roles and those who deny the truth of Christ and His Word.

Many churches today proclaim that it is possible for a person to be a true child of God while at the same time engaging in the practices mentioned above. Such people contradict God’s clear words here (1 Corinthians 6:9-10; Galatians 5:19-21; Ephesians 5:5-7).

HE WHO OVERCOMES / REVELATION 21:7

START YOUR DAY RIGHT WITH DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 21:7

He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

HE WHO OVERCOMES / REVELATION 21:7

God Himself declares who will inherit the blessings and benefits of the new heaven and the new earth – those who faithfully persevere in their devotion to Christ and prove to be overcomers (Revelation 2:7). Those who do not have a personal relationship with God to help them overcome sin and ungodliness will be thrown into the fiery lake.

A PALE HORSE / REVELATION 6:8

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 6:8
And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.

A PALE HORSE / REVELATION 6:8

The pale horse and its rider, named “Death,” symbolize a terrible intensifying of war, famine, death, plagues, disease and evil beasts. This judgment will be so terrible that one-fourth of the human race will be killed. The Bible does not specify exactly when this great devastation will take place (Revelation 6:1). The severity of the judgment, however, seems to suggest that it will take place well into the great tribulation. Some believe that it will be toward the beginning of the last half of the seven years, when the judgments are beginning to wipe out large portions of the world population.

A BLACK HORSE / REVELATION 6:5

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 6:5
And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

A BLACK HORSE / REVELATION 6:5

The black horse and its rider symbolize great famine and its disastrous effects of hunger and suffering (Jeremiah 4:26-28; Leviticus 4:8-9; 5:10). Basic necessitates of life will be scarce and prices extremely high. Hunger will spread throughout the world. The oil and wine refer to the olive tree and grapevine, which are not hurt as much by drought as the grain and field crops. Though famines have occurred throughout history and the church age (Matthew 24:7), this passage is dealing with a specific famine at tits maximum destruction during the tribulation period.

HORSE … FIERY RED ONE / REVELATION 6:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 6:4
And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

HORSE … FIERY RED ONE / REVELATION 6:4

The red horse and its rider represent war and violent death, with the “great sword” symbolizing war’s destruction, which God will allow as part of His wrath on the world (Zechariah 1:8; 6:2).

The word “they” refers to the people of the earth. The Greek word for “kill” does not carry the straightforward meaning of death in battle, but brutal killing of all kinds. The tribulation will be a time of violence, murder and war.

A WHITE HORSE / REVELATION 6:2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 6:2
And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

A WHITE HORSE / REVELATION 6:2

Four horsemen appear as the first four seals are opened (the imagery of the horsemen relates back to Zechariah 1:8-17; 6:1-8). representing God’s judgment on the corrupt and evil world system and the ungodly people who are part of it. The rider of the white horse is thought by many Bible interpreters to be the antichrist (1 John 2:18), the future world ruler who is to begin his activity at the beginning of the last seven years of this age. God will permit him to deceive all who oppose Christ. His initial conquest will be accomplished without open warfare since peace is taken from the earth beginning with the second horseman (Revelation 6:4; Daniel 9:26-27; 1 Thessalonians 5:3). Yet, all the other horsemen are personifications (abstract concepts described with human traits, such as “Death” as the fourth horseman), so the rider on the white horse may simply represent conquest or a strong spirit of antichrist let loose in the end time. Even so, the strong desire for conquest that has dominated every dictator in the past will certainly characterize the antichrist.

BLOT OUT HIS NAME / REVELATION 3:5

(KJV) Revelation 3:5
He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels.

BLOT OUT HIS NAME / REVELATION 3:5

This appears to be the “book” first mentioned in Exodus 32:32-33. It describes a sort of registry of citizenship in God’s kingdom. This verse clearly teaches of the very real possibility of members of God’s kingdom having their names removed from the book of life. This can happen to any person who experiences salvation and a personal relationship with Christ, but later refuses to remain faithful to Him and allow His power to help them overcome the evil around them and the sinful nature within them (Revelation 2:7). To have one’s name blotted out of the book of life is to give up eternal life with God (Revelation 2:7, 10-11) and to be condemned to the lake of fire in the end (Revelation 20:15). This is a direct warning from the Holy Spirit to Christ’s churches (Revelation 3:6; 13:8; 17:8; 20:12; 21:27; Exodus 32:32).

A FEW PEOPLE IN SARDIS / REVELATION 3:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 3:4
Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy.

A FEW PEOPLE IN SARDIS / REVELATION 3:4

Throughout church history, there have always been a faithful few (often referred to as “a remnant”, Isaiah 11:11; Jeremiah 23:3; Zephaniah 3:13; Zechariah 8:12) who have not “soiled their clothes” with sin and unfaithfulness to God. Instead, they have remained spiritually pure, devoted to Christ and committed to His original messages as passed on through His faithful messengers throughout the New Testament (2 Corinthians 11:3).

YOU ARE DEAD / REVELATION 3:1-2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 3:1-2
And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
2Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

YOU ARE DEAD / REVELATION 3:1-2

The church in Sardis was spiritually lifeless, with only a few of its members remining faithful to the true message of Christ. Outwardly, it appeared alive and active and had a reputation of success and spirituality; but the church was relying on past experiences. It may have had what seemed to be effective ministries and a dynamic form of worship, but not the true purity and power of the Holy Spirit. The church’s reputation may have fooled a lot of people, but Jesus saw the inner lives and hearts of the people. He saw a form of religion, but not true spiritual life (2 Timothy 3:5). There must have still been a glimmer of hope and life if the church turned from their own way and back to God, obeying what He had shown them in the past (Revelation 3:2-3), The condition of the church in Sardis should prompt churches and individual Christians today to ask: Are we coasting spiritually and relying on our image, traditions and past experiences, or are we genuinely alive and growing spiritually?

I WILL GIVE THE MORNING STAR / REVELATION 2:28

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 2:28 And I will give him the morning star.

I WILL GIVE THE MORNING STAR / REVELATION 2:28

This phrase likely refers to the sun – the star that brings the morning – as a symbol of Christ Himself, the “sun of righteousness” (Malachi 4:2), who brings us into God’s light of eternal life. The Prophet Malachi also refers to this sun as having “healing in its wings” (in its rays). So, by giving His faithful people “the Morning Star,” Jesus says He will give Himself in a new and deeper way that brings healing, restoration and all the promises and benefits of life in God’s radiant light.
