Ownership!

December 29, 2021: SOAP #4409:  Revelation 10-14

SCRIPTURE:  Revelation (NIV) 7:3 “Do not harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the foreheads of the servants of our God.”
Revelation (NIV) 22:4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.

Revelation (NIV) 14:9 A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and his image and receives his mark on the forehead or on the hand, 10 he, too, will drink of the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. He will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. 11 And the smoke of their torment rises for ever and ever. There is no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and his image, or for anyone who receives the mark of his name.”

OBSERVATION:  The mark is a sign of ownership.  It designates their place in eternity.  Having the seal of God sets one to “see His face.” 

Those who receive the mark of the beast are signifying to whom they belong.  Receiving his mark sets them to receive his judgment! 

APPLICATION:  What an honor to bear the name of Jesus.  What a joy awaits those who are sealed with His name. 

What tragedy awaits those who will receive the mark of the name of the beast. 

PRAYER:  Jesus, I surrender my life to you.  I accept you as my Savior and Lord.   As my Savior I acknowledge my sin and receive your forgiveness.  I set you as Lord over my life.  Thank you for forgiving me and making me a part of your family. Amen.
