… And them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.


It is intriguing to me that those who lose their lives in the Tribulation because they choose to listen to the message of the 144,000 and believe God rather than take the mark of the beast or bow before the image, are seen not around, but on the sea of glass. Why does this intrigue me? Because it reminds me of another tribulation ... Out on the sea with the wind blowing and the waves rolling, the disciples were understandably terrified. Seeing the Lord walking towards them, Peter cries, ‘Lord, if that’s really You, bid me come.’ Jesus said, ‘Come,’ and Peter did just that. (Matthew 14:28). So too, in our text, these guys are walking on water. On earth they didn’t. Having been persecuted and destroyed by anti-Christ, on earth they would have been seen as losers. Not so in heaven. In heaven, they’re water-walkers. If you don’t factor in heaven, none of Biblical Christianity works. Without heaven, folks, you’re going to go down the wrong path in your experience of spiritual life. You’ve got to factor heaven in to every single equation. If you get nothing else out of the Book of Revelation, my prayer would be that you would first of all see Jesus Christ on the throne in control, and, secondly, that you’d understand it’s all about heaven.

And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
	Revelation 14:2-3

Why could no one else sing the song of the 144,000? Because they alone went through testing and Tribulation — yet maintained their integrity. Thus, they alone could sing of what they were able to observe the Father do on their behalf in the time of Tribulation. Every one of us goes through times of tribulation. God’s intention is that they might produce in us ‘as it were, a new song’ — a symphony ... There they were — in a damp, dark dungeon — without even a crust of bread to eat or the ACLU to plead their case. Yet what were they doing? They were singing. At midnight — in the darkest hour — Paul and Silas sang. They weren’t singing to try and get God to do something. They sang simply because the Lord was with them, and they were happy (Acts 16:25). ‘Well, that hasn’t been my experience,’ you might be saying. ‘My marriage’, or ‘my job’, or ‘my health is a dungeon to me, and I’m not happy.’ Precious brother, dear sister — God’s intent is to give you a new song. But there’s one thing which will stand in the way: sympathy. You see, I can either go through challenges and hard times with a symphony in my heart because the Lord has promised not only to strengthen me in them (Isaiah 41:10), but to walk with me through them (Matthew 28:20) — or I can choose to get sympathy from people. If I choose to tap into sympathy, it will always be at God’s expense because the underlying though unspoken implication is that what is happening in my life is out of God’s control. God is totally, absolutely, completely faithful to meet us in every trial, in every difficulty. Don’t let His plan get short-circuited by those who say, ‘I feel sorry for you.’ Instead say, ‘God is good. Sure, what I’m dealing with right now is a challenge — but I am discovering the Father is exactly Who He claimed to be — a God Who comforts me completely.’ It’s tempting to let people feel sorry for us, but we mustn’t, because it puts God in a bad light. Don’t settle for sympathy, gang. Go for the symphony.

‘Smile first thing in the morning,’ joked W.C. Fields, ‘and get it over with.’ ‘If you find anything to laugh about,’ echoed Groucho Marx, ‘it’s only because you’re not paying attention.’

People often have reasons why they’re so cynical . . . In the midst of their phone conversation, a lady said to her friend, ‘Did you wake up grouchy?’ ‘No,’ said the friend, ‘I let him sleep.’

Indeed, there can be reasons why people are grouchy, or even why they sting people with cynicism . . . Bees fly 100,000 miles from flower to flower in order to gather enough nectar for just one pound of honey — only to have someone steal it from them. No wonder they sting us!

So too, perhaps, humanly speaking, Jacob had reason to be pessimistic. When his sons came to him, saying, ‘Dad, Joseph has been killed,’ he believed their untrue report. But when the same sons came to him, saying, ‘Dad, Joseph is alive, and he’s governor of Egypt,’ he couldn’t believe their true report. He believed what wasn’t true because it was bad; and he didn’t believe what was true because it seemed too good.

That’s pessimism — the tendency to dismiss the light and embrace the dark.

‘I would have fainted had I not believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living,’ declared the Psalmist (Psalm 27:1). Jacob is indeed fainting because of his failure to believe God’s goodness. Yet even though he didn’t believe his son’s words, he couldn’t deny the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him and his possessions to the land of Goshen — the best part of Egypt. And Scripture says, when he saw the wagons his soul revived. Notice it was the heart of Jacob which fainted (verse 26), but it was the mouth of Israel — the one ‘Governed by God’, which said, ‘Joseph is alive,’ (verse 28).

This passage hit me in a way that delighted my heart, for, you see, even though pessimistic Jacob was ready to believe the bad lie, and unwilling to believe the good truth — he was convinced when he saw the wagons.

This reminds me of Thomas . . . ‘I won’t believe the report you guys are sharing about Jesus being risen from the dead,’ he said to the other disciples, ‘unless I can touch the holes in His hands and put my finger in His side.’ But when Thomas came to a face to face encounter with Jesus, he became a believer (John 20:28). So too, Jacob said, ‘I’m not going to believe the word’ — but when he saw the wagons outside, his spirit revived.

Like Jacob, many times we don’t believe the Word we heard. But the good news is that Jacob’s disbelief did not derail the wagon train Joseph had sent his way to pick him up and bring him to Goshen. So too, you might be going through dry times right now in which you’re famished spiritually. But I have good news for you: The wagon has been sent your way. What wagon?

The Lunch Wagon

'Ho every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.' Isaiah 55:1-2

You might feel like things aren’t going your way today, but that doesn’t derail the lunch wagon God has sent in your direction. Society says, ‘There’s no free lunch.’ Scripture says, ‘Yes there is.’ You can come and buy and eat even if you don’t have any money. The invitation is given you to freely delight your soul in fatness.

The lunch wagon is headed in our direction, gang. And the Marriage Feast of the Lamb is right around the bend!

The Station Wagon

'Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.' Proverbs 22:6

Not only is the lunch wagon coming — but the station wagon is headed your way as well. Your kids might have wandered away, but even if you’re pessimistic or full of doubt about them God promised that He will keep that which is committed to Him (II Timothy 1:12), and will finish the work He began (Philippians 1:6). ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and not only you, but your family will eventually be saved as well,’ declared Paul (Acts 11:14).

The promises of God are intact, gang. And even if you don’t believe it, the station wagon is headed in your direction to scoop up you and your family.

The Welcome Wagon

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. I Corinthians 2:9

Even if you doubt it, the fact is, if you’re a believer, you’re on board and you’re going to heaven. And when you get there, you’re going to see the ultimate Welcome Wagon as you take in all that Jesus has prepared for you during the past 2000 years. ‘I go to prepare a place for you,’ He said. And I’m going to say, ‘Perfect, Lord! This is amazing! It’s beyond anything I ever imagined. How did you know this is exactly what would make me happy?’ Into my new home, He will welcome me. And He will do the same for you.

The Bandwagon

Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints. Psalm 149:1

‘Can I be in the band? Please let me be in the band. C’mon guys, I wanna be in the band.’ It’s going to happen! The Band Wagon is coming — and I’m going to be there — singing in heavenly harmony right along with the best of ‘em!’

The Covered Wagon

For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. Romans 6:14

The wagon coming our way is a covered wagon. Our inadequacy, stupidity, and sin are all covered by the blood of the Lamb. And even if you don’t believe the word you’ve heard, the fact remains that God has everything

PROPHECY FEATURE

"HELL: Fighting fire with Fire"

"Due to a Rise in False Teaching on Hell we dedicate this series"

Question: "Is hell real? Is hell eternal?"

Answer: It is interesting that a much higher percentage of people believe in the existence of heaven than believe in the existence of hell. According to the Bible, though, hell is just as real as heaven. The Bible clearly and explicitly teaches that hell is a real place to which the wicked/unbelieving are sent after death. We have all sinned against God (Romans 3:23). The just punishment for that sin is death (Romans 6:23). Since all of our sin is ultimately against God (Psalm 51:4), and since God is an infinite and eternal Being, the punishment for sin, death, must also be infinite and eternal. Hell is this infinite and eternal death which we have earned because of our sin.

The punishment of the wicked dead in hell is described throughout Scripture as “eternal fire” (Matthew 25:41), “unquenchable fire” (Matthew 3:12), “shame and everlasting contempt” (Daniel 12:2), a place where “the fire is not quenched” (Mark 9:44-49), a place of “torment” and “fire” (Luke 16:23-24), “everlasting destruction” (2 Thessalonians 1:9), a place where “the smoke of torment rises forever and ever” (Revelation 14:10-11), and a “lake of burning sulfur” where the wicked are “tormented day and night forever and ever” (Revelation 20:10).

The punishment of the wicked in hell is as never ending as the bliss of the righteous in heaven. Jesus Himself indicates that punishment in hell is just as everlasting as life in heaven (Matthew 25:46). The wicked are forever subject to the fury and the wrath of God. Those in hell will acknowledge the perfect justice of God (Psalm 76:10). Those who are in hell will know that their punishment is just and that they alone are to blame (Deuteronomy 32:3-5). Yes, hell is real. Yes, hell is a place of torment and punishment that lasts forever and ever, with no end. Praise God that, through Jesus, we can escape this eternal fate (John 3:16, 18, 36).
