Hold on to Your Hope Revelation 14

Revelation was originally sent to Christians in seven churches who were undergoing harsh persecution for their faith in Jesus. They could identify with the raging of Satan and his antichrist ruler as described in chapters 12 and 13, because their own experience felt something like that. Revelation chapter 14 shows us heaven's perspective on that same time period when the enemy rages and Christ-followers suffer. In this chapter God reminds us of our future and one last time invites others to share in His fu-ture before it is too late for them. This Sunday, I hope you will be encouraged both by our God's heart of mercy and by our hope in His future.
