Revelation 7 is a 'time out' before the seventh seal and answers the question of 'who can stand' following the judgement of the whole world. God acknowledges those now in His presence, the saints who have been washed in the blood of the Lamb that are now serving and worshipping Him...dwelling with Him. Oh what a day that will be!

The first command in Psalm 37 is "do not worry...". What follows are forty verses that encourage believers not to fret over the temporary success of the wicked, but to trust in God's justice. It is a wisdom poem attributed to King David that offers counsel on how to respond when evil people seem to prosper while the righteous suffer.

Someone recently commented that Revelation 6 is a "pretty dreary chapter". And while it does depict the unfolding chaos of the end times—war, famine, death—it also affirms Christ's sovereignty over history and promises justice for martyrs. It shows that even amidst catastrophic judgment, God is in control. This is very good news for believers and a terrifying prospect for those that resist him.
