Passage: Revelation 10:1-11

Do you realize that you resemble what you worship? If you worship God, over time you become like Him and
reflect His character. However, if you worship anything other than God, you become spiritually blind and
deaf. (Ps. 135)


In Revelation 8 and 9, the aim of the judgements is to warn the wicked so that they receive God’s mercy.
Most will not repent; they will continue to worship the things of the world - money, success, position, acclaim.
They are spiritually blind and deaf and operate by their rules and their version of the truth.


Worldliness makes sin look normal and righteousness look strange. As the world grows darker, you may
experience doubt and have questions. God’s word is a light that may bring persecution to those who desire
to walk according to its truths. When you feel the pressure from the world to doubt God’s word, how can
you hold fast with confidence? The book of Revelation is meant to strengthen our confidence in God’s word
and help us stand firm. There are three truths here that strengthen our confidence in God’s word
