• Babylon made to drain the cup of his wrath
👉 Revelation’s Third Blessing:
Blessed is the one who stays awake, keeping his garments on, that he may not go about naked and be seen exposed (Rev 16:15).
Stay alert! Do not be lulled to sleep by comfort or complacency.
Stand firm! Do not grow weary or weak in your faith.
The Lord is returning and we don’t know when. But – when he does – may he find us awake, ready, and anticipating his arrival.
You are loved.
