A High Price For Rebellion
Revelation 15-16
INTRODUCTION:
Whose side are you on today!
Many years ago, the prophet Elijah stood on Mt.
Carmel and cried out to the children of Israel. . .
“How much longer will you waver, hobbling between two opinions?
If the Lord is God, follow him!
But if Baal is God, then follow him!”
But the people were completely silent.”
(1 Kings 18:21)
Today there are some of you who have not yet yielded your life to Jesus Christ.
You have halted in indecision. . .
It is time to make a choice!
The word of God, in Revelation, tells of a time when God will judge this world.
Satan and his demons will suffer total defeat.
Who will you choose to follow, Satan or Christ?
Our text shares the facts upon which to base your decision.
I- THE BELIEVER WILL HAVE THE ULTIMATE VICTORY OVER SATAN AND HIS EVIL SYSTEM.
(Revelation 15:1-4)
Revelation 15:1–4 (NLT)
1 Then I saw in heaven another marvelous event of great significance.
Seven angels were holding the seven last plagues, which would bring God’s wrath to completion.
2 I saw before me what seemed to be a glass sea mixed with fire.
And on it stood all the people who had been victorious over the beast and his statue and the number representing his name.
They were all holding harps that God had given them.
3 And they were singing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb: “Great and marvelous are your works, O Lord God, the Almighty.
Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations.
4 Who will not fear you, Lord, and glorify your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous deeds have been revealed.”
A- The believer has defeated Satan in the battle for his soul.
(Revelation 15:2).
Revelation 15:2 (NLT)
2 I saw before me what seemed to be a glass sea mixed with fire.
And on it stood all the people who had been victorious over the beast and his statue and the number representing his name.
They were all holding harps that God had given them.
1- Satan is making war against all men, trying to destroy their souls (I Peter 5:8)
1 Peter 5:8 (NLT)
8 Stay alert!
Watch out for your great enemy, the devil.
He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
a- During the tribulation period, he will destroy the souls of men by causing them to accept his mark and worship the beast.
1 ) Once the mark is taken, his work in that person’s life is accomplished.
2 ) Those who refuse his mark will be martyred but will live eternally— they are the true victors for they have defeated Satan in the battle for their eternal souls.
b- Here, today, Satan is making war with you who know not Christ.
1) You can either leave here a victor by receiving Christ, as a Savior and Lord; or as a victim of Satan, locked in his destructive grasp!
B- The believer has defeated the world and become an overcomer.
(Revelation 15:3-4)
1- The believer is the only one who can be an overcomer.
(1 John 5: 4-5).
1 John 5:4–5 (NLT)
4 For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith.
5 And who can win this battle against the world?
Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.
a- Do you want to have victory over Satan and the world?
Then accept Christ as your personal Lord and Savior.
1) Then you can sing the victor's song with the saints in verses 3 and 4.
II- THE PLACE OF MERCY WILL ONE DAY BECOME THE PLACE OF JUDGEMENT (Revelation 15:5-8).
Revelation 15:5–8 (NLT)
5 Then I looked and saw that the Temple in heaven, God’s Tabernacle, was thrown wide open.
6 The seven angels who were holding the seven plagues came out of the Temple.
They were clothed in spotless white linen with gold sashes across their chests.
7 Then one of the four living beings handed each of the seven angels a gold bowl filled with the wrath of God, who lives forever and ever.
8 The Temple was filled with smoke from God’s glory and power.
No one could enter the Temple until the seven angels had completed pouring out the seven plagues.
A- The tabernacle is now the place to obtain mercy and pardon.
1- The tabernacle is the place of the altar of God.
a- The altar has always been a symbol of mercy for all who were willingly and humbly kneel.
1) Adonijah laid hold of the horns of the altar to plead for mercy.
(1 Kings 1:51-53)
1 Kings 1:51–53 (NLT)
51 Word soon reached Solomon that Adonijah had seized the horns of the altar in fear, and that he was pleading, “Let King Solomon swear today that he will not kill me!”
52 Solomon replied, “If he proves himself to be loyal, not a hair on his head will be touched.
But if he makes trouble, he will die.”
53 So King Solomon summoned Adonijah, and they brought him down from the altar.
He came and bowed respectfully before King Solomon, who dismissed him, saying, “Go on home.”
2) The publican sought for mercy (Luke 18:9-14)
b- The altar of God can be your place for mercy and pardon if you will humbly kneel and ask for his mercy and pardon
