In this chapter we see the Lamb of God standing with those sealed on Mt. Zion while Babylon falls. As Babylon falls we see the people of the earth punished and tormented by God who is eternal.
Passages out of this chapter speak of Jesus harvesting the earth and angels harvesting the earth's vine to be placed under the wine press of God's wrath. The earth's vine is marked by the Beast and worships him and his image. John 15:1 tells us that Jesus is the true vine and God is the gardener. God wants us to stand with his son Christ, sealed with His blood, becoming one with Him... the only true vine. If we choose otherwise we will face eternal torment at the hands of God and his angels.
To which vine do you belong?
How did your actions today in your work, school or home reflect this?
Are you more like the Saints or more like those ripening on Earth's vine soon to be gathered?
READ REVELATION 15 AND EXODUS 15:1-18
Read verses 1-3. Who was present with the seven angels and why were these people there?
Read verses 3-4, Hos 14:9 and Ex 15:1-18. Give at least three attributes of God and two attributes of what our actions should be in response to God as described in these passages.
Read verses 5-8, Ex 40:35, John 2:19 and 1 Cor 3:16. What were the angels given when the Tabernacle of the Testimony was opened? Why was access to the Temple restricted until the plagues were completed? Where is God's temple for those who do not believe in his son Jesus as Lord and Saviour? Where does it reside for those who are saved?
