In your journal, write your answers and thoughts in response to the following questions.

1. There is a clear delineation between those who belong to the beast (Ch 13) and those who belong to the Lamb (Ch 14). The delineation is highlighted in contrasting – distinguishing characteristics. The new song of the redeemed is learned and lived out. How is this concept presented in this passage? How does it help us understand the aim of discipleship? How do we learn and rehearse this song here and now?

 

2. The first angel’s announcement called on all humanity to “fear God”. What is there to fear in the announcements of the angel’s in vv 8-13? How does, or how should, the reality of God’s wrath and an eternal hell influence the song of our lives? How does, or how should, the reality of God’s wrath and an eternal hell influence the way we pray and share with our lost family & friends?

 

3. Why is there another call for endurance in this passage (14:12), and how does the promised blessing of v 13 encourage us in our perseverance and endurance?
