Sermons on Revelation
Revelation 22:6-21
In this final sermon on the book of Revelation, we hear the concluding appeal of Christ Himself: “Behold, I am coming quickly.” This message, found in Revelation 22, is not merely a closing remark—it is a climactic exhortation that brings together all the themes of the book and presses them upon the heart of the Church. 🔹 Main Proposition: You must heed the message of Revelation because Christ is coming. We explore why this message matters, how the speaker throughout…
Revelation 21:9-22:5
In this sermon, we continue our journey through the closing vision of the book of Revelation—a breathtaking depiction of the New Jerusalem, the bride adorned for her husband. Building on Old Testament promises from Ezekiel, Isaiah, and elsewhere, John shows us a city not merely constructed of gold and jewels, but built upon the redeemed people of God. We see the holy city descend from heaven, shaped as a perfect cube—the very shape of the Holy of Holies—signifying that God’s…
Revelation 21:1-8
As we near the conclusion of the Book of Revelation, we arrive at one of the most glorious promises in all of Scripture—the vision of the new heavens and the new earth. In this week’s sermon on Revelation 21:1–8, we are given a glimpse of consummated salvation—the glorious fulfillment of all that God has promised to His people. Revelation has often focused on the trials of the church and the coming judgment, but here, the veil is lifted to reveal…
Revelation 20:7-15
Revelation 20:7-15 we see the defeat of Satan and the great white throne judgment. Ultimately, there is no opposition to Christ that can succeed and on last day Satan himself will be thrown into lake of fire along with everyone whose name is not found in book of life. God’s judgment will be perfectly just, giving to each one according to his works. Therefore, exhortation is clear: flee to Christ that you might be saved.
Revelation 20:4-6
Revelation 20:4-6 is one of the most controversial passages in the Bible. What does the millennium refer to? In this sermon, Pastor Grasso defends the amillennial position but also highlights the pastoral concerns of the passage. If the “first resurrection” refers to entrance into heaven upon death, the point is that ultimately death is pathway to life for the Christian, for he will be with Christ. This precious truth is meant to give strength to the weak and comfort for…
Revelation 20:1-3
In Revelation 20:1-3 Satan is bound for a thousand years. What does this refer to? Who does the binding? What does it mean that Satan is bound? Pastor Grasso addresses these questions, as well as others, in this sermon. Ultimately, it is the binding of Satan, accomplished by Christ, that sets the stage for the ingathering of the nations, which has been happening since Pentecost.
Revelation 19:11-21
In Revelation 19:11-21 we see a picture of the last day. What will happen? Though many parts of the book of Revelation are difficult to interpret, the basic message here is clear: Christ will return and defeat His enemies. Every enemy will be defeated. What should you do then? Endure suffering faithfully if a Christian. Turn to Christ if you are not.
Revelation 19:9-10
In Revelation 19:9-10 we see John falling down before an angel; however, he is told to get off the ground because the angel is merely a servant like John. It is the testimony of Jesus, not angels or Mary or the saints, that is the spirit of prophecy.
Revelation 19:1-10
In Revelation 19:1-10 we see the two ends of two different women: Babylon and Jerusalem. The one is the great harlot who is judged on the last day. The other is Jerusalem, the bride of Christ, who enters into the wedding of the lamb. Such is the end point of all history, the point to which everything is moving. May it be that God would grant you to be part of that pure woman, made holy through the blood of…
Revelation 18:9-24
In Revelation 18:9-24 we read predominantly of the lamentation for Babylon. Those who loved the world and the luxurious, sensuous living it offered, lament that she has fallen. The elect, however, rejoice, for the fall of Babylon means their vindication. How would you respond to the fall of all the institutions that promote living for the pleasures of this world? Would you lament or rejoice? The answer to this question reveals the basic allegiance of your heart.
Revelation 18:1-8
In Revelation 18:1-8 we read of the fall of Babylon. The message for the people of God is clear: come out of her. This is the call that always goes out in the gospel: Babylon, associated with all kinds of worldliness, will be destroyed. Those who are wise will flee to Christ for refuge.
Revelation 17:1-18 (Part 2)
In Revelation 17:1-18 Pastor Grasso explains the significance of Babylon, the great harlot, who rides on the beast. Babylon stands for the religious arm that persecutes the people of God in connection with the state. Surprisingly, in the end the beast will cast off this alliance and claim all power for itself in the person of the antichrist. Evil always ends up fighting against itself, and this will be true in the end as well.
