TOPIC: END TIME EVENTS
TEXT: Revelation 14:1-13
1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3 And they sung as it were a new song before the throne, and before the four beasts, and the elders: and no man could learn that song but the hundred and forty and four thousand, which were redeemed from the earth.
4 These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb.5 And in their mouth was found no guile: for they are without fault before the throne of God.6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.8 And there followed another angel, saying, Babylon is fallen, is fallen, that great city, because she made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of her fornication.9 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
10 The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:11 And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
12 Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.13 And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them.

INTRODUCTION TEXT
Our passage today describes some end-time events. The Lamb of God is standing with 144,000 people having His Father's name written on their foreheads. A new song was heard in Heaven that only the 144,000 could learn. These were the redeemed first-fruits to God and the Lamb. Three angels are seen making proclamations, but the third angel warns the people against worshipping the beast and his image and receiving his 666 mark.
Spectacular events will happen during the end-times. Satanic activities will increase in the bid to distract and deceive believers. However, God has warned believers to be watchful against the wiles of the devil and neither worship him, his image nor take his 6.66 mark. In hard times, only the tough and rugged stand. Are you still holding on to your faith in the midst of difficult times? You need to look unto Jesus the author and Finisher of your faith as you stand firm in the faith. Refuse to be distracted or deceived as you work out your salvation. Resist any challenges of the devil and he will flee (1 Peter 5:9).
Prayer: Strengthen me, O God, to stand firm in the faith irrespective of what the devil does. Amen. '
