Zechariah 9:1-17, Revelation 17:1-18, Psalm 145:1-21, Proverbs 30:32
Pray: Father, taking a stand is not easy. But help me to understand that I must give voice to what is right and what is wrong according to Your WORD. And when I see that my attitudes and actions are on the wrong side of Your WORD help me to repent quickly and allow You to further change me into His likeness.
Read: Revelation 17:1-18 is one of the most difficult passages in all of scripture to understand. It is the story of ever escalating evil and darkness going to war with the Lamb of God and the people of God. Sin has corrupted the whole of creation. It has permeated world systems and world governments. Righteousness is under attack and the battle crosses all borders and all realms. The final battle of human history lies just ahead. Evil is soon to be defeated. But the picture is indeed bleak as the angel shows John what is to come.
Edify: There is a time to speak the truth in love. Sometimes it seems like silence is easier. But we are called to be lights on a hillside, a city that cannot be hid.
Practice: We need to have crucial conversations with those in our lives. They must choose whom they will serve. But we cannot avoid conversations that point them towards that choosing.
