Revelation 15 is one of those chapters that almost whispers instead of shouts, and yet the weight of what it carries feels heavier than thunder. It is a pause in heaven before the storm on earth, a holy stillness before the final outpouring of God’s justice. When people think of the book of Revelation, they…

Revelation 14 is one of those chapters that does not whisper. It does not tiptoe around the human heart. It speaks with the clarity of a trumpet, the firmness of a judge’s gavel, and the tenderness of a Father who knows His children are standing on the edge of eternity. When you read it slowly,…

Revelation 13 is one of the most misused, misunderstood, and fear-saturated chapters in the entire Bible, and yet it is also one of the most compassionate warnings God ever gave humanity.

There are moments in life when God does not speak in thunder, and He does not whisper in comfort, but instead places something into your hands and asks you to eat it. Revelation 10 is one of those sacred moments. It is one of the most mysterious, tender, and quietly devastating chapters in all of…

Revelation 9 is one of those chapters people avoid because it does not let us stay comfortable. It is not poetic in the gentle way Psalm 23 is. It is not reassuring in the way Romans 8 is. It is loud, unsettling, strange, and violent in its imagery. But if you read it carefully, it…
