Jesus and Judgment Day | Revelation 12–18

Revelation 15 opens the seven bowls of God's wrath, the "very, very end" of history. But how did we get here, and what does it mean for us today? In this episode of the Sermon Notes Podcast, host Jay Strother and Brian Ball take a fast-paced flyover of Revelation 12–18, including chapters we didn't have time to cover on Sundays. They unpack the "unholy trinity" of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet; what the mark of the beast and 666 do (and don't) tell us; the Lamb standing with His redeemed on Mount Zion; the song of Moses and the Lamb; and the seductive pull of Babylon. Along the way, they remind us that God's wrath is not like human anger. It is His holy hatred of sin, the very cup Jesus drank for us on the cross. Recorded on Election Day, this conversation calls us to read the news with the Bible in hand, trust God with the outcomes, and live lives of obedience and watchfulness, because that day is coming. Resources mentioned: God, AI and the End of History by John Lennox; Exalting Jesus in Revelation (Christ-Centered Exposition) by Danny Akin.
