There is hope

 "Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell in the earth - to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people..." -Revelation 14:6

This book we call Revelation has unfortunately received a bit of an unfair characterization throughout history. People are sometimes drawn to it out of a fascination for the mysterious or some sort of dark morbidity. Some people are simply trying to answer the question, what happens next? Sometimes, people are repulsed by the violence and tremendous vision of suffering. God has taught me gently to see this book through His eyes - with grace, and love, and holiness. Even in the midst of what appears to be terrible deception, death, and pain God sends a messenger. He sends the gospel - the good news! There is hope in Christ!  Our Father will never abandon His creation. He offers a millionth chance to drink at the fountain of grace and mercy. His love never fails.
