THEY WILL WATCH

Today's reading: Revelation 7-11

"Then a loud voice shouted from heaven, Come up here! And they rose to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched." Revelation 11:12 NLT

The book of Revelation is such a strongly debated portion of Scripture. It's twisted and taken out of context by some. It's completely avoided by others. It's certainly a book you digest in bits, not by mouthfuls.

The entirety of this section of the Bible reminds us that an to this world is coming and with it comes judgement.

All will be determined as being His--or not.

This single verse shows the importance of sharing God's love, spreading His Good News and walking closely with Him.

You see, one day, His children will rise to meet Him.

Enemies will watch as we 'head home'. They will know we were right. They will see that they should have turned from their ways. They will face the heat and lingering death of hell.

But so will our loved ones who do not choose Jesus.

Our unsaved family and friends will see us leave without them. They will replay conversations we had with them. They will recall all the invitations to know about God we gave. Or they will have wished we had said something at all.
