The Blessed Stay Awake!
Scripture reading for December 21st: Revelation 16
Key Scriptures for over-comers: Revelation 16:13-16 “Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty. “Behold, I come like a thief!” Blessed is he who stays awake and keeps his clothes with him, so that he may not go naked and be shamefully exposed.””
While deception by the demons of Satan and the Antichrist and False Prophet bring the world’s kings together for the final battle where God’s wrath is poured out and finished, God’s people are warned by Christ Himself that He will come like a thief to the world of the wicked. God’s people must hold onto their clothes in readiness for this climactic coming! These clothes are the white robes of Christ’s righteousness given by grace to those who believe!
Observations for over-comers: Each day is another day closer to Christ’s glorious appearing! Hold onto your clothes! “The angel said to those who were standing before him, “Take of his filthy clothes.” Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put rich garments on you.” (Zechariah 2:4)
