Rewards

 

The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come,

And the time of the dead, that they should be judged,

And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints,

And those who fear Your name, small and great,

And should destroy those who destroy the earth.” - Revelation 11:18

 

There is a lot of death and destruction and doom and gloom going on at the moment in the Tribulation. God’s wrath is being poured out on the world.

 

But there is a break here – there is a break in the judgements. God’s faithful are being encouraged to carry on.

 

God will reward the prophets and the saints and all those who fear His name.

 

There is only one hope and one escape from the final judgement that is coming. Fortunately, Revelation makes it clear over and over again and God gave us this book long before it comes so that we can be ready. The book of Revelation itself is an act of grace.

 

God protects and protects and rewards His own. He offers it to all. What a tragedy for those who refuse His grace.
