HOLD ON … UNTIL I COME / REVELATION 2:25

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 2:25

But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

HOLD ON … UNTIL I COME / REVELATION 2:25

Christ’s words “until I come” and “to the end” (Revelation 2:26) make it clear that His messages, warning and promises to the seven churches apply also to all churches until the end of time as we know it.

THE REST OF YOU / REVELATION 2:24

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 2:24
But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

THE REST OF YOU / REVELATION 2:24

There were those in the churches who had remained true to Christ’s Word and standards. God knows them and promises that they will rule with Him over the nations (Revelation 2:26). “Satan’s so-called deep secrets” may refer to the false teaching that claims to possess special knowledge that is necessary for spiritual salvation. One brand of this deceptive philosophy says that in order to fully experience God’s grace and salvation and to defeat Satan, a person must enter the devils’ domain – into the depths of sin – and become acquainted with all kinds of evil beliefs and lifestyles.

A MALE CHILD / REVELATION 12:5

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 12:5

And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne.

A MALE CHILD / REVELATION 12:5

The male child is Jesus Christ (Revelation 19:15), and the snatching up of the child refers to His ascension into heaven after His resurrection (Luke 24:51; Acts 1:9-11).

WHO OBEY GOD’S COMMANDMENTS / REVELATION 14:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 14:12

Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.

WHO OBEY GOD’S COMMANDMENTS / REVELATION 14:12

The ultimate punishment to the followers of the beast is terrifying (Revelation 14:9-11). This is a challenge to all followers of Christ to rely completely on Him so they can endure whatever comes, while continuing to “obey God’s commandments and remain faithful to Jesus.” For their loyalty to Christ during the great tribulation, they will probably die.

A MARK / REVELATION 13:16

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 13:16
And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:

A MARK / REVELATION 13:16

The antichrist will seek to gain total economic control of the world. All people are demanded to give their allegiance to him and cooperate with his system by receiving a mark on their hands or foreheads in order to buy or sell (Revelation 12:17). This mark is Satan’s substitute for God’s seal on the 144,000 (Revelation 7:3). The type of “mark” the beast uses or how it is applied in not described except to say that it is “the number of his name” (Revelation 13:17). It is clear, however, that once received, the mark is permanent, so that it identifies those who have rejected Christ and have turned their devotion to the antichrist. Economic pressure will probably be a tool used to persuade people to take the mark, which will also symbolize submission to the world government and the religion of the antichrist. Those who refuse to take the mart will be hunted down and killed (Revelation 13:15).

REFUSED TO WORSHIP THE IMAGE TO BE KILLED / REVELATION 13:15

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAYILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 13:15

And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.

REFUSED TO WORSHIP THE IMAGE TO BE KILLED / REVELATION 13:15

At some point well into the great tribulation, the false prophet will erect and dedicate an image or statue of the antichrist as a focal point of worship (Daniel 3:1). It is possible that some form of the image may be placed in major locations in cities throughout the world. The main image will likely be placed in the temple, which possibly will be rebuilt in Jerusalem (Daniel 9:26-27; Matthew 24:15; 2 Thessalonians 2:4). The second beast is then “given power [by Satan] to give breath to the image.” “Breath” here is a translation of the Greek pneuma (“spirit,” which can refer to any kind of spirit). This could mean that a demonic power somehow makes the image look alive so that it appears to speak. In doing so, the false prophet claims divine power for himself and the antichrist. This may be his greatest deception, as the Bible makes it clear that only God can create and give life (the Hebrew verb bara [“create”] is never uses in the Bible with anyone other than God as the subject; He is the only Creator). By means of this great deception, official authorization will be given to kill all who refuse to worship the world ruler and his images. That is to say many who resist the antichrist and remain faithful to Jesus will be put to death (Revelation 6:9; 14:12-13).

WORSHIP THE FIRST BEAST / REVELATION 13:12

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 13:12
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.

WORSHIP THE FIRST BEAST / REVELATION 13:12

The second beast will attempt to clear the way for the operation of a false church that is ecumenical (promoting common faith among various religions and a blending of different beliefs and practices). Its focus will be the worship of the antichrist. This second beast will bring this about largely by performing great signs and wonders (apparent miracles, Revelation 13:13-14). His ministry will in some ways imitate the supernatural ministry of the Holy Spirit (2 Thessalonians 2:9-10). But God told His people long ago (Deuteronomy 13:1-3) that even though a prophet performs miracles and signs, he is a false prophet if he turns people away from worshiping the one true God.

DRAGON … BOUND HIM FOR A THOUSAND YEARS / REVELATION 20:2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 20:2

And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

DRAGON … BOUND HIM FOR A THOUSAND YEARS / REVELATION 20:2

After Christ’s return and the events of Revelation 19, Satan will be bound and imprisoned for a thousand years so that he may not do his evil work or deceive anyone during the time when Christ rules the earth in perfect peace and justice. This would completely eliminate the devil’s influence during this time. After the thousand years, he will be released for a short time in order to deceive any whose own hearts lean toward rebellion against God’s rule (Revelation 20:3; Revelation 20:7; Revelation 20:8; Revelation 20:9). This will include people who are born during this time to those who were still alive at the end of the tribulation. (Those who returned with Christ to share in His victory and rule during the millennium will have their new glorified bodies and will not have children, nor will they be susceptible to Satan’s temptations.) Satan’s most characteristic work is to deceive (Genesis 3:13; Matthew 24:24; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-10; 1 Peter 5:8).

THE GREAT TRIBULATION / REVELATION 7:14

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 7:14

And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

THE GREAT TRIBULATION / REVELATION 7:14

The great tribulation is a time of God’s unequaled judgment on the end-time antichrist world that has rejected Christ; but it is also a time of satanic assault against those who receive Christ and His Word during the tribulation (Revelation 12:12). During this period, many followers of Christ will suffer terribly from persecutions by Satan and ungodly people (Revelation 7:9-17; 6:9-11; 20:4; 14:13). The conflict between righteousness and wickedness – those who serve God and those who serve Satan – will be so intense that it can only be called a “great tribulation.” This phrase in the Greek literally reads “the tribulation, the great”; in the Greek language, repeating the article “the” adds forceful emphasis. Matthew 24:21 tells us, “For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now – and never to be equaled again.”

THE DEVIL … THE LAKE OF BURNING SULFUR / REVELATION 20:10

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Revelation 20:10
And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

THE DEVIL … THE LAKE OF BURNING SULFUR / REVELATION 20:10

Satan’s final attempt to defeat and dethrone God fails miserably, and his power and deception come to their final end. God will throw him into the lake of burning sulfur (Isaiah 14:9-17), where the antichrist and his false prophet had already been thrown (Revelation 19:20). There he will not rule but will be tormented day and night forever.
