Listen "Study in Revelation #19"
Episode Synopsis
The sermon centers on the sovereignty of God as revealed in Revelation 4:1–2, where John is taken in a vision to heaven and beholds the throne of God the Father, symbolizing divine control over all creation. Emphasizing that the vision is symbolic and not a literal blueprint for earthly worship, the preacher warns against misapplying heavenly imagery—such as the throne, sea of glass, or 24 elders—to liturgical practice, affirming instead that New Testament worship is grounded in clear precepts, examples, and necessary inferences. The core message is that God's absolute sovereignty, demonstrated through His control over both good and evil—including the crucifixion of Christ and the limits placed on Satan—provides the foundation for biblical hope, assurance, and moral accountability. By anchoring faith in the truth that God, not chance, Satan, or human will, is on the throne, believers can trust that all things, even suffering and evil, are working together for good for those who love Him, securing a certain and confident hope in His eternal purposes.
