Day 30 Revelation 16:13 Revelation 16:13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty. 15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. 16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon. 17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done. 18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great. 19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath. 20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found. 21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great. When you think your trouble is behind you, more comes your way. All thought about having a good day again flee in the face of the new storm in your life. However, in the midst of the storm, hope appears. God showed John the demons which inhabited the dragon, beast, and false prophet as they poured from them like frogs. God showed John they served a purpose to bring everyone to the final battle, Armageddon. As soon as they assembled, God announced, It is done. Once before Jesus uttered similar words from the cross, ‘It is finished’, signaling the end of Satan’s reign in the lives of those who accepted Him as Savior and Lord. He procured salvation for all mankind. The seventh angel poured out his vial and God declared, ‘It is done’. Satan’s reign on earth ended. With the end, came an earthquake never seen before. It broke the city into three parts. Babylon fell, the seat of Antichrist, and mountains and islands disappeared. The earth disappeared with God’s final judgment. As God’s judgment fell, great hail weighing 75 pounds, the weight of a talent, fell on men and they blasphemed God. You have the opportunity to accept Jesus as Savior and Lord now before the Tribulation when God’s fierce judgment will come on everyone who reject Him. From the beginning, God reserved judgment for Satan and the angels who rebelled with him to make war against God in heaven. When Satan caused men’s hearts to rebel against God and reject His salvation, God had no choice but to include them in His judgment. Will you accept God’s salvation through Jesus, His Son, or will you reject Him and face God’s final judgment? The choice is yours. Let’s pray: Father, Your salvation through Jesus, Your Son, brought me to You. Let me stand with You in the day of Your judgment and not against You. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
