A Choice to Make

January 10, 2025
Dr. John Neufeld

In this message we are confronted with a choice: will we choose this world or will we choose to follow Christ? This choice will result in two completely different outcomes. Revelation chapter 9 presents the blowing of the fifth trumpet, and from that, the opening of the “bottomless pit”. The passage speaks of a star that falls from heaven and smoke rising as hell’s doors are opened. We are presented with the result of the choice that is made by each of us. What will we choose?

    The Persecuted Church

    In Revelation chapter 10, at what seems to be the height of our anticipation to know what will come from the blowing of the 7th Trumpet, we find the story interrupted by the arrival of a 'Mighty Angel'. Something major is about to happen and it’s time to stop and listen. A new and different scroll appears which speaks of God’s wrath being poured out on the world and a great persecution of the church. What did this mean for the church of that day? What does it mean for the church today?

    Never Despair

    In Revelation chapter 11, we find two things to be striking. The first is that prophets in the Bible are almost always mistreated and abused, and the second is that the followers of Christ are often persecuted to a similar degree. In this chapter, we are reminded of how God will always raise up those who will speak his word in the midst of overwhelming hardship, and how even though evil may flourish for the moment, God's kingdom is forever.
