Series: Interior Design

Category: Sunday Sermons

The cosmic conflict in which the churches are participating has two clearly, yet broadly, defined sides. On one side is Rome, Babylon, the beasts, the dragon, and the unbelieving world. On the other side, the heavenly hosts, the witnesses, and the true church. And at the center of it all is the one seated on the throne, pictured in Rev 4. The scene is one of scripture’s most dramatic, and it calls the reader to join in the community of worshippers, comprised of all of heaven and all of creation. Those who worship the King, in spirit and in truth, are the true church, the spiritual Israel, and will be the ultimate victors. Their identity in Revelation is chiefly defined by two things, and the first is worship; worship of the Creator, the Sovereign King, the Ruler seated on the throne.
