TUESDAY GATHERING—Revelation 12:1-13:10
Rumination on Revelation 12:1-13:10
Look too close
and
details become
unbearable.
Confusion
and opinions and
interpretation
stirred up like
muddy river bottom.
Clues, hints, and inklings:
this is all we have.
With your face
pressed
against the canvas
you cannot see Van Gogh’s Irises.
Step back.
A little further.
More.
See the glory and majesty and power and dominion of our God.
Look.
See the dark swaths of
unbearable pain
fade
in the flashes of his love and power.
Is he not enough reason to have faith and endure?
“…Here is a call for the endurance and faith of the saints.” Rev 13:10c ESV

JESUS WILL EASE YOUR FEARS (v. 20). Proverbs 12:25; 1 Peter 5:7; Psalm 34:4
JESUS WILL ELIMINATE YOUR GUILT (v.20)
How Jesus Forgives You:
- He forgives you instantly. Isaiah 55:7
- He forgives you completely. Colossians 2:13,14
- He forgives you freely. Romans 3:22
