Beyond the Gospels: Revelation

Today's Scripture: Revelation 17
[Click above to read on BibleGateway.com.]

They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them,
for he is Lord of lords and King of kings...
Revelation 17:14

Power, sex, corruption. It's rampant among the leaders of the world. Sometimes it seems like no one is in charge and justice, integrity, honor, and peace are long gone.

But that's just not true. There is One on the throne, who will make His Way known, and when He does, woe to those who have been deceived by power, sex, and corruption.

The beast on which the world's powers sit will go to destruction. 

The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to rise
from the bottomless pit and go to destruction.
Revelation 17:8

He will be conquered by the One who was, and is, and is to come!

"Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,
who was and is and is to come!"
Revelation 4:8 ESV

Lord God Almighty, continue to remind me You are on the throne.
No matter what corruption I see in national leadership, at home
or abroad, keep my eyes on You. The One who was, and is, and is to come.
Let me not be deceived by the one who is not, and is about to go to destruction.
