The Wedding and the War

Mark Ordus, Director of Student Ministries at Ward Church, continues our Revelation series with a powerful look at chapters 17–20. In a world that often feels like it’s spiraling out of control, Mark reminds us that sin has always been present, from the Roman Empire to today, and the temptations we face are nothing new. Through vivid imagery of the beast and the harlot, Revelation reveals the culmination of everything opposed to God—yet it also proclaims that the Lamb will triumph because He is King of kings and Lord of lords. The hope of the believer is clear: Jesus Christ has already claimed the victory. Rather than striving to win by the world’s standards, we are invited to live as people of hope, faithfully pointing others to Christ, knowing the battle is already won.
