REVELATION | Chapter 15 & 16
from Riverbend Church Hosted by Riverbend Church
In his teaching on Revelation 15 and 16, Steve Marshman explores the concept of God's holy and just wrath, distinguishing it from irrational human anger. These chapters detail the pouring out of the "Seven Bowls of Wrath," which are described as God's final act of judgment against unrepentant evil and sin, signaling the complete eradication of these forces. The judgments intentionally echo the plagues of Exodus, symbolizing a final rescue of God's people from the world's evils. Steve clarifies that God's wrath does not contradict His loving nature; rather, it is a benevolent response designed to ultimately further human flourishing and press truth into humanity. Furthermore, he challenges the misconception that God's love is entirely uniform, explaining that while God loves the whole world unconditionally, He possesses a special love for His children and reserves His deepest intimacy for the obedient. The talk concludes with practical applications for loving the Trinity: believers are encouraged to love the Father by spending intentional time with Him, love the Son by humbly serving others, and love the Holy Spirit by confessing sin, silencing worldly voices, and seeking to be filled with His presence.
