Revelation 14:1-20: Apocalypse—The Lamb and the Harvest of the Earth

Thy Strong Word from KFUO Radio

Mount Zion and Earth—The Lamb stands on Mount Zion with the 144,000 redeemed. Who are these 144,000? The answer may surprise you. Then, three angels proclaim eternal gospel messages, and the earth's harvest is reaped—both the righteous and the wicked. Knowing that a time of reckoning is coming, how does this motivate us to live righteously and share the gospel with urgency?

The Rev. Chris Matthis, pastor of Epiphany Lutheran Church, Castle Rock, CO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Revelation 14:1-20.

Shrouded in mysterious visions of cosmic battles, plagues, and catastrophic events, the Apocalypse of St. John, or as it’s more commonly known--the Book of Revelation, paints a haunting picture of the end times. Cryptic symbols of beasts, the rise of the Antichrist, and the final judgment unfold with unsettling intensity, revealing the ultimate clash between good and evil. Yet, beneath its terrifying imagery, Revelation is also a deeply personal letter, offering comfort to early Christians facing persecution. It reassures them—and believers today—of God's control over history, His promise of redemption, and the certainty of Christ's victory.
