Last Call Digest: Those who lose their lives -Jon Courson


… And them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

 

Revelation 15:2

 

It is intriguing to me that those who lose their lives in the Tribulation because they choose to listen to the message of the 144,000 and believe God rather than take the mark of the beast or bow before the image, are seen not around, but on the sea of glass. 

Why does this intrigue me? Because it reminds me of another tribulation ...

Out on the sea with the wind blowing and the waves rolling, the disciples were understandably terrified. Seeing the Lord walking towards them, Peter cries, ‘Lord, if that’s really You, bid me come.’

Jesus said, ‘Come,’ and Peter did just that. (Matthew 14:28).

So too, in our text, these guys are walking on water. On earth they didn’t. 

Having been persecuted and destroyed by anti-Christ, on earth they would have been seen as losers. Not so in heaven. In heaven, they’re water-walkers.

If you don’t factor in heaven, none of Biblical Christianity works. Without heaven, folks, you’re going to go down the wrong path in your experience of spiritual life. You’ve got to factor heaven in to every single equation. 

If you get nothing else out of the Book of Revelation, my prayer would be that you would first of all see Jesus Christ on the throne in control, and, secondly, that you’d understand it’s all about heaven.
