Proposition
You must worship the Creator.
If a man truly chooses Him, He is to be worshipped for who He is—forget
about everything else; that'll all sort itself out.
He must be worshipped the way He says He is to be worshipped, not as man
sees fit in his religious wankery based on his sinner doctrines.
God is not legalised or legitimised by acting according to the law; it
was fulfilled. It is by faith.
To know His will, you need to hear Him speak to you, and that way the
Lord won't be mistreated by sinner-religion-fucked-up morality and
self-righteous rules, like with the Pharisee cult. For that to occur, a
man needs to convince the Lord he is committed to a relationship with Him.
The rich young ruler wasn't committed, and sinner christians aren't
either. Unless a sinner repents of all he is, he may as well go play
tennis and go home with someone he fancies that he finds at the club.
In the Name of Jesus
You must worship the Creator.
Because God blesses believers (14:1-5, 12-13)
Disgusting. Vomit bag stuff!Because God blesses believers (14:1-5, 12-13)
For who He is or piss off!
The 144,000, redeemed from the earth, stand victorious with the Lamb on
Mount Zion, singing a unique song of praise. They remain faithful to
God, avoiding defilement and following the Lamb wherever He goes. God
blesses their obedience with victory and eternal rest, as their deeds
follow them (14:12-13). Worship the Creator because He rewards the
faithful with blessings that endure forever.
Because God torments idolaters (14:8-11)
Babylon’s fall declares the end of human rebellion and idolatry. Those
who worship the beast or receive his mark will drink the wine of God’s
wrath, poured full strength. They face eternal torment, separated from
God’s presence and mercy. Worship the Creator because His justice brings
judgment on those who reject Him.
Because God judges all creation (14:14-20)
The harvest imagery portrays the final judgment, where God separates the
righteous from the wicked. The grain harvest symbolizes the gathering of
believers, while the winepress of wrath depicts the punishment of the
ungodly. Worship the Creator because He alone executes perfect justice,
rewarding the righteous and punishing the wicked.
Revelation 14 vividly displays God’s holiness and His judgment against
idolatry. The eternal gospel calls you to worship the Creator, but the
world calls you to worship the beast. Idolatry is more than bowing to
statues; it is trusting in power, wealth, or anything other than the
true and living God. Scripture warns that all idolaters, including the
covetous, face eternal torment. Those who worship the beast or receive
his mark will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength, and
face eternal torment in the presence of the Lamb (Revelation 14:9-11).
God considers even covetousness to be idolatry (Colossians 3:5). It
reveals a heart that craves what it should not, treasures creation over
the Creator, and worships self above God. A life consumed by idolatry
demonstrates a lack of saving faith in Christ. Believers are commanded
to flee from idolatry (1 John 5:21) and warned that no covetous person,
who is an idolater, will inherit the kingdom of God (Ephesians 5:5). The
stakes could not be higher. Idolatry leads to God’s wrath and eternal
separation from His presence.
Yet, you do not escape God’s judgment by avoiding idolatry. Salvation
comes only through Jesus Christ. In His mercy, God provided a way for
sinners to be reconciled to Him. Christ bore the full weight of sin’s
penalty, dying in your place as a substitutionary atonement. His blood
satisfied God’s righteous demands, and His resurrection declares that
His sacrifice was accepted (Romans 4:25; 1 Corinthians 15:3-4).
Will you trust Him? God calls you to repent, to turn from sin and false
worship, and to rely on Christ alone for salvation. Call on the name of
the Lord, and He will save you (Romans 10:13). The idols of this world
will fail you, but God offers forgiveness, life, and joy in His
presence. Do not delay—run to Christ, who is mighty to save.
To those who trust in Christ, this passage delivers a sobering call to
endure. Revelation 14 warns that believers will face tremendous
political, social, and economic pressure to worship the beast rather
than God. The temptation to compromise will come from every side. You
must resolve to worship the Creator alone, resisting the demands of the
beast with patient faith in Christ. Your perseverance will demonstrate
your trust in the Lamb, who secures His people and rewards their
faithfulness with eternal rest.
Guard your heart against idolatry, knowing that even believers are
called to flee from it. Treasure God above all else. Do not let fear or
pressure cause you to cave to the world’s demands. Worship the Creator,
not the creature, and persevere in the face of trials, trusting in
Christ to keep you.
Revelation 14 assures you that God sees your endurance and will bless
your faithfulness. Worship Him with reverence and joy. Stand firm,
proclaim the eternal gospel, and trust that the Lamb will lead you to
victory and eternal rest. Fear God, give Him glory, and resist the
schemes of the beast as you await the glorious return of the Lamb who
reigns forever.
