    By your endurance you will gain your souls…Another of my favourite verses is 2 chronicles 20:17 Go out to the battle and the Lord will be with you. (Step out in faith) Amen

    Good morning , Brother John Paul , and Praise to the Holy Spirit that opens our mind to the reading of today's Scriptures .
    Revelation 14 seemed to describe the consummation of all things , ending with the fury of the Battle of Armageddon . But now John will go back and enlarge upon the scene he has already sketched in Revelation 14 by describing to the readers the judgment of God in more detail in Revelation 15 .
    " Seven angels with seven plagues " the idea is also in Leviticus 26:21 , these 7 last plagues are the place where God's anger flashes hot 🔥 against those who rejected Jesus ' Word denoting that the wrath of God is complete and will reach an end and will fulfill an eternal purpose . Another word God is not just blowing off steam .
    The image of " what appeared to be a sea of glass mixed with fire 🔥 " is a physical representation in the architecture of heaven of the Word of God ( Ephesians 5:26 ). Here , the glass acts as a mirror 🪞 to reflect the glory of God .
    Perhaps we could say that the Saints " who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name " are standing on the Word in the holiness of God with glorified bodies " with harps of God in their hands " denoting the 24 elders in Revelation 5:8 .
    Those who have conquered the beast through their faithfulness unto death are the tribulation martyrs described in Revelation 7:9-17 . They are not those who survive the tribulation for the bowl of judgments still wait .
    Therefore, even though the AntiChrist kils them , they have victory over the beast, and they are not losers . The early Church ⛪️ consistently described the day of martyrdom as a day of victory ✌️ . These tribulation martyrs are given the blessing of worshipping God with harp music 🎶 in heaven .
    " They sing the song of Moses , the servants of God , and the song of the Lamb , " one single song is sung with 2 titles , Moses and the Lamb , a perfect union between law and love , between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant .
    These martyrs only focus on God by repeatedly saying, " You ...Your ...You ..." They have the heart ❤️ of true worship , understanding that it's all about God , not about their own glorious victory .
    God bless your efforts abundantly , Brother John Paul . AMEN 🙏 🙏 🙏.

    Jesus personally promised special grace or special help for Christians ✝️ during times of persecution in saying: " I will give you words and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to withstand or contradict ."
    Think of how many times Christians have read God's Scriptures and stored it in the bank of their mind and completely left it there dusting itself in the memory . Then one day while pressing a certain point of view of their faith to someone , the necessary Scriptures pop 🎉 out of the library of the brain 🧠 recollection as a good defensive statement of our faith in God .
    Reading daily God's Word refreshes our mind on practicing a speech of defense in advance so that when the opportunity presents itself Jesus can help Himself in awakening the Scriptures in our mind and unlocking 🔓🔐 it with the master key 🗝 of His Holy Spirit .
