WOFOYO SHORT: God’s Holiness Explains The Plagues In Revelation

The book of Revelation can feel like a contradiction: a good God, a holy God, and then scenes that look like plagues, wrath, and violent judgment. We open Revelation 15 and read the whole chapter out loud, then we stop on the detail that should make anyone pause, the seven angels carrying the seven last plagues coming straight out of the heavenly temple filled with God’s glory.From there, we work the question that sits under so many end times conversations: if God is loving, why would anything like this happen? Our answer hangs on one word that gets used a lot but rarely defined clearly: holiness. We talk about holiness as separation, as “other,” as God’s unmatched goodness, and why that goodness becomes dangerous when it collides with sin. We also connect Revelation’s imagery to Revelation 1 and point out a practical Bible study skill: the symbols in Revelation often interpret themselves if you slow down and mark them.We also get personal about the trap of “trying to be holy” on our own. The only way into God’s presence is the holiness of Jesus Christ, the worthy Lamb who can open the scroll, and the mediator who turns God’s glory from a threat into a promise. If you care about Revelation 15, the seven bowls of wrath, the mark of the beast, or simply understanding the holiness of God without fear or fluff, this short episode is for you. https://wofoyo.org/          #wofoyo
