Scripture: Revelation 9: 20-21
The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk. 21 Nor did they repent of their murders, their magic arts, their sexual immorality or their thefts.
Scripture Commentary:
The people referred to in Revelation were so hardhearted that even plagues did not drive them to God. People don’t usually fall into immorality and evil suddenly. They slip into it a little at a time, then realizing what happened, they are irrevocably mired in their wicked ways.
Any person who allows sin to take root in their life will find themselves in a predicament.
Temptation entertained today becomes sin tomorrow.
Once sin becomes a habit, spiritual death and separation from God occurs. To think you can never become this evil is the first step toward a hard heart. Go to God and confess your sin. Ask for forgiveness.
People want to know what is going to happen in the future instead of doing God’s work today. The future will take care of itself. The Book of Revelation lets us see what God has for those who have serve Him and for those who have serve Lucifer.
Revelation is the book of hope. It promises that evil is not forever. It shows what God has for us.
