Be Faithful to the End

Revelation 16:12-16 

    12 Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up, so that the way of the kings from the east might be prepared. 13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs coming out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14 For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.
    15 “Behold, I am coming as a thief. Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame.”
    16 And they gathered them together to the place called in Hebrew, Armageddon.

The sixth bowl delivered by the sixth angel of God will be poured out on the Euphrates to dry up its water.  This is to allow the armies of eastern lands to come for God Almighty’s great and final battle of judgement.  Demons will come from a false prophet who does not acknowledge the Son of God, and they will be able to do miracle signs to lure the nations into the war against God’s people and against God Himself.  This final battle will assemble in the valley of Megiddo, known as Armageddon.  What are God’s Chosen to do?  Know first of all that this coming will be quick, so we are to be always ready as we watch, keeping ourselves pure and holy, not being led astray nor deceived into disbelief or disobedience to our holy calling in Christ our Lord, the Lamb slain in sacrifice for us before the world was set in motion.  Trust God’s word and sovereign plan which will absolutely take place as He has determined in advance.  The victory is His; none can stand against Him, and so we stand for and with and in Him to the end.  Amen!
