August 18, 2024 • Andy Falleur • Revelation 20:1—21:1

In this powerful exploration of Revelation 20, we delve into the prophetic vision of the millennium and final judgment. We're reminded of God's ultimate plan for justice and the importance of our spiritual choices. The chapter describes Satan's binding for a thousand years, Christ's reign with the saints, and the final battle before God's throne. This narrative challenges us to consider our own spiritual state and the reality of two resurrections - one for the righteous and another for judgment. As we contemplate these events, we're called to examine our relationship with God and the life-giving connection found in Christ. The 'book of life' symbolizes this vital spiritual link, urging us to ensure our names are written there through faith in Jesus.
