Warning and Winning Part 2

Just as history shows that catastrophe is always preceded by warning, Scripture reveals the same spiritual reality: God’s warnings always come before His wrath. In Revelation 14, God sends three angels with urgent messages to a world on the brink of judgment. The first angel proclaims the eternal gospel, which is a final, global call to fear God, give Him glory, and worship the Creator while mercy is still available. The second angel announces the certain fall of Babylon, the corrupt world system built on pride, pleasure, and rebellion against God. The third angel delivers the most sobering warning of all: those who worship the beast will drink the full cup of God’s wrath.Yet even in this moment of severity, the grace of God shines. Jesus has already drunk the cup of wrath so that sinners might be saved, and those who trust the Lamb are promised endurance, blessing, rest, and eternal reward. This sermon calls listeners to heed God’s warning, reject the false promises of the world, and run to the only refuge when judgment comes...the victorious Lamb who not only warns, but wins.
