Passage Read: Revelation 15-16
Meditation Verse: 16:21

Thought

At this point, all seems lost. These last plagues are horrible in nature, yet still no one repents. Instead, they blaspheme God. They have no doubt about who is in charge of these plagues, and they are gathering their army to fight against Him. They would rather curse and fight Him to the death than repent. This is the state of mankind. We are practically there now. Men choose their freedom, they demand their right to do as they please. They hate anyone who tells them they can't do what they want.

Application

All water has been turned to blood, the sun is scorching men, they have painful boils on their bodies, and giant hail is falling on them. Not only do these remaining people not repent, but they blaspheme God and prepare to go to war against Him. How full of hatred they are, hatred of God and all things righteous! This is where we're heading, this is where all mankind is going. Should I be surprised when I see it today, when I see men voting to guard wicked practices and uphold godless philosophies? We are on the brink of the last days, and things will go from bad to worse. Is a revival possible? Perhaps not. But still men need a testimony of God, a proclamation of His ways and an example of people who trust and submit to Him.
