The “NO MORE” City || Revelation 18:20-24

What will remain when the world’s systems, wealth, and influence are gone? In this episode, J. Mark Horst studies Revelation 18:20–24, where John describes the final destruction of Babylon. J. Mark considers three insights into Babylon’s final overthrow: the storm of God’s vengeance, the enduring silence that follows its destruction, and the evidence that leads to its judgment. This sobering passage reminds us that worldly wealth, power, and status will not last, and calls us to live for the eternal city rather than the “NO MORE” city.
The Fall of Babylon || Revelation 18:1-8

In this study of Revelation 18:1-8, J. Mark Horst examines the fall of Babylon, a city that represents corrupted world systems.

Torments of God’s Wrath: Part 2 || Revelation 16:12-21

In this second part of studying Revelation 16, J. Mark Horst examines the final two bowl judgments poured out during the Great Tribulation. In Revelation 16:12–21, we see the Euphrates River dry up, and the nations gather at Armageddon for “the battle of that great day of God Almighty.” J. Mark explores the meaning of these final judgments as God brings them to completion with the declaration, “It is done.” This passage reveals that the world is being brought before Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords, for His righteous judgment.
Torments of God’s Wrath: Part 1 || Revelation 16:1-11

In this episode, we study Revelation 16:1-11, the account of God’s messengers pouring out the bowl judgments onto those who worship the beast. In Part 1 of our study in Revelation 16, J. Mark Horst examines the first five bowl judgments and explains why God’s wrath is always righteous and just. As painful sores, blood-filled waters, scorching heat, and darkness and agony cover the earth, humanity continues to reject God rather than repent. This episode will challenge you to consider God’s judgment and the mercy He extends today through Jesus Christ.
Heaven’s Preparations || Revelation 15

As we continue in our study of Revelation, we come to Revelation 15, which offers a glimpse behind the curtain of the preparations before the bowl judgments occur. J. Mark studies this passage, examining the scenes of the seven angels preparing God’s final judgments, saints worshipping the Lamb through meaningful song, and the glory of God filling His temple. Through these dramatic scenes, we discover God’s solemn warnings to repent and hear a call to worship the King before the day of His judgment arrives.

Throughout this passage, we see how God preserves His people while extending one final call to repentance before His judgment comes. This episode challenges us to consider which harvest we will be a part of.
