REVELATION IS NOT A SCARY BOOK…IF YOU ARE A BELIEVER…CHRIST REVEALS TO US WHO HE IS…IN ALL OF HIS GLORY…HE REVEALS TO US HOW IT ALL ENDS…AND WE WIN! IT WAS GIVEN TO THE CHURCH TO BE AN ENCOURAGEMENT
GOD’S ANGER MUST BE EXPRESSED AGAINST ALL UNFORGIVEN SIN…THOSE WHO REFUSE GOD’S LOVE, REJECT HIS GRACE, AND SCORN HIS MERCY WILL INEVITABLY FACE HIS WRATH.
Revelation 15:1 ESV
Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished.
THE CHRISTIAN GROWS RICH BY HIS LOSSES, LIVES BY DYING, AND BECOMES FULL BY BEING EMPTIED

And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire-and also those who had conquered the beast and its image and the number of its name, standing beside the sea of glass with harps of God in their hands.
