Introduction
We come not to this description of the last judgment, God's final wrath.
The theme of final wrath has already been discussed in chapter 14, you'll remember it from back in verse 8 and following.
In fact, even verse 7 talks about the hour of judgment has come.
So back in verse 7, judgment was introduced into this chapter...ran all the way through verse 11 and then there was a brief respite in verses 12 and 13 as we heard an encouraging word of the perseverance of the saints.
After that brief rest to encourage the faithful, the theme again is wrath.
Now you know where we are in the book of Revelation so you kind of get a feel for the flow of truth.
The seven seals have been opened.
The seven trumpets have blown.
The abomination of desolations by the Antichrist in the temple of Jerusalem has taken place.
The persecution of Israel has escalated to a fever pitch.
The execution and martyrdom of Christians all over the earth is going on.
The whole earth and sky is devastated by divine judgment, divine vengeance.
Satan is ruling the earth with the iron fist of Antichrist, aided by the false prophet, the whole remaining world is deceived into worshiping the Antichrist as if he were God and blaspheming the true God and Jesus Christ.
(GTY)
