Refuge is Found in the Cross of Christ – Revelation 15
Pastor Martin Saine delves into Revelation 15, recapping the Trumpet Judgements and reminding us that there is hope found only in the Cross of Christ.
“The events of the Book of Revelation are a crescendo of events, one right after another. I wonder if the Trumpets continue to sound as a warning and a testimony of the fulfillment of God’s agenda. During this period there will be catastrophe upon catastrophe, judgment upon judgment. No relief, no time to breathe, no hope, no joy. God is coming in like a flood.”
“For the righteous, we’ve been told what to do when the enemy comes in like a flood: Isa 59:19… So shall they fear The name of the LORD from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him. “The Redeemer will come to Zion, And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob,” Says the LORD. “As for Me,” says the LORD, “this is My covenant with them: My Spirit who is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your descendants, nor from the mouth of your descendants’ descendants,” says the LORD, “from this time and forevermore.”
“But what can be done when GOD comes in like a flood? Who can make war with Him? Who can defeat Him? Who can prevail? NOBODY!!!!! It appears hopeless, but it’s not. There is one refuge that can provide a safe haven against the flood of judgment and wrath of God: The CROSS!”
Rev 15 Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and marvelous: seven angels having the seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of God is complete. And I saw something like a sea of glass mingled with fire, and those who have the victory over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying: “Great and marvelous are Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints! Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. For all nations shall come and worship before You, For Your judgments have been manifested.”
