TOPIC: “A Fact You Can’t Change!” (DCLM Daily Manna 2 May 2024)

KEY VERSE: “And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image”(Revelation 16:2).

TEXT: Revelation 16:1-12 (KJV)

1 And I heard a great voice out of the temple saying to the seven angels, Go your ways, and pour out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth.

2 And the first went, and poured out his vial upon the earth; and there fell a noisome and grievous sore upon the men which had the mark of the beast, and upon them which worshipped his image.

3 And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea; and it became as the blood of a dead man: and every living soul died in the sea.

4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the rivers and fountains of waters; and they became blood.

5 And I heard the angel of the waters say, Thou art righteous, O Lord, which art, and wast, and shalt be, because thou hast judged thus.

6 For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

7 And I heard another out of the altar say, Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy judgments.

8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.

9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.

10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom was full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues for pain,

11 And blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and repented not of their deeds.

12 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.

DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:

The idea of hell and judgment is as controversial as the discussion of heaven and the rewards God will give to His righteous followers. While these two concepts are at polar ends, believing or refuting them does not nullify their reality. God’s word, in Ecclesiastes 12:14, declares that He will bring every work into judgment. The Psalmist affirms too that all wicked men will end up in hell, including nations that forget God (Psalm 9:17).

Today’s text confirms the reality of the above fact. In the Revelation that God gave Apostle John on the Isle of Patmos, he saw a vision of the seven angelic messengers dispensing judgment to this rebellious world in ways that have never been known or seen. Seven, in the Bible, is often associated with completeness or perfection, meaning these revelations are sacrosanct. Rivers and fountains of water, the great river Euphrates and the air will not be spared when God judges the world. Great and poor men, renowned kings and emperors will face the wrath of a holy God who gave the world a protracted opportunity to make amends.

The fact of divine judgment is not affected by human opinions. Believing it or not does not change its veracity. The unfortunate thing however, is that it will turn out as a damning reality to scoffers and doubters when they come face to face with the truth but it will be too late to do something about it. It will be worse off for those who know the truth and reality of this judgment but fail to take necessary steps to escape it.

God is merciful; He does not desire the eternal damnation of anyone. This is why He still delays the day of judgment to give room for everyone to repent and escape the doom. As many as turn to Him today by accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour will be spared of the unprecedented distress of nations to come.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Those who would rather prove God’s judgment experientially never present their findings.
