Yesterday I wrote about Joel, an amazing Bible teacher at my current congregation. That blog made me reminisce about another incredible teacher many years ago in Phoenix. Truitt was teaching a summer series on the book of Revelation. I don't remember much from that study except for one scripture. Truitt stated that the entire book can be summed up in Revelation 17:12-14.
That passage speaks about the ultimate battle of good versus evil or the Lamb of God (Jesus) versus the Beast (Satan). Verse 14 (NIV) puts it this way, "They will wage war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will triumph over them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings - and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers."
Did you see it? Jesus triumphs! Those with him, his faithful followers, are victorious as well. The fight rages our entire lives. Remain true to the Lamb, and WE WIN! Hallelujah!
