Revelation, Day 17

Triumph. Read Revelation chapter 17.

When we read all the prophecies about the prostitute and the dragon, it can be easy to get confused and overwhelmed. Lots of commentaries have been written discussung exactly what those all refer to. Still, for me, I find this verse to be the one that I don’t have any difficulty interpreting. God is triumphant over all.

No matter what we look to understand about all of the prophecies through the book of revelation, the overall theme is the same, God wins. The Lord will triumph over every single plot and ploy of Satan. God and his followers are going to be victorious, and no matter what we have gone through or suffered or been through during our lifetime, a God is going to be the one to get the glory and to win overall.

We can rest and trust in that truth and have confidence to help us to get through the difficulties and challenges that we experience. Are we trusting in the ultimate victory of God? Do we recognize that everything else that we go through is simply on the path toward the victory of God? How can we experience more of God’s victory in our lives today?
