The popes of the Roman Church continue their influence as the appearance of the second beast shows. This church appears innocent (like a lamb) but in reality “enslaves” people throughout the world and denies the Gospel of Christ.

These visions are similar to those of Daniel (Daniel 7). The picture of the beast coming out of the sea fits what we know from history about the Roman Empire, including its wicked rulers and the Roman Church (with the papacy).

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! Time and again we despise His blessings. Time and again He forgives us. Time and again He continues to provide for our needs. Amen! Praise the Lord!

Satan is beside himself with anger at God’s victory over him, so he will terrorize God’s believing children to the very last. Yet they will escape and be saved.

Amos interceded for Israel when he saw visions of tragedy coming. The Lord relented, but eventually Israel would be measured to determine its straightness. It would be found to be crooked and judgment would come.

In spite of God’s warnings, the people of Israel carried on as though their sins were of no concern. We too need to guard against feeling too comfortable when we do wrong. When you sin, repent and look to Christ for forgiveness.

The Lord our God simply does not lose HIs battles! Satan our accuser and his host have been defeated. The death of the Lamb (Jesus) and the Word of God overcome any of his accusations against you! Rejoice, heaven and earth!

Again we see that our God is the Lord of Hosts (that is, Lord of Armies), for again He causes Ahab to win a victory over Ben-Hadad, even though Ahab’s advisors didn’t believe it could be done with such a small fighting force.

God showed He was in control of the armies of nations and used Ahab’s victory over Ben-Hadad to show that He was the true God, the Lord. Your God too is the Lord!

It’s very sad that Israel would come to an end because of her sins, but we can also be glad that God hates evil and does not let it prevail in the end. Can you spot the Lord’s merciful invitation to Israel in these verses too?

Elijah had been despairing, but God still very much had the upper hand over His enemies! Not only were there a number of believers left, but another prophet would follow Elijah to keep on preaching the Word.
