We look at Revelation 14 and 15 in this episode of Relentless Truth. God’s wrath is poured out on the earth, but those who are in Christ prevail in Him. The Gospel is eternal, and this section makes it clear that it endures forever and is unchanged.
The Gospel Endures Forever
We sometimes think of the study of eschatology as beyond the Gospel. This passage, and countless others, make clear the fact that the Gospel permeates all of time and all of Scripture. If you have heard the term “the Gospel” and don’t know what this references, please listen to this episode. I explain the Gospel clearly near the end of this episode.
The Immensity of God’s Wrath
Revelation 14 mentions blood flowing from the winepress as high as a horse’s bridle for 1600 stadia. I said early in the episode that I would explain this but failed to circle back to it. This appears to be a metaphorical reference to the earth’s bloody judgment. A stadia is about 600 feet. So, this reference is to blood flowing as high as a horse’s bridle for 184 miles. There has been much speculation about this – whether it references a river or boundary or the distance between two prominent points. But our understanding of this is limited. I believe this reference is designed to communicate the immensity of God’s wrath poured out on the earth. I don’t believe it provides enough detail to fully unpack.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ and its simplicity are addressed clearly in the last few minutes of this episode. Please read Paul’s letter to the Romans and John’s Gospel for the biblical basis for my explanation of the Gospel.
