Mission & Messages Set 37 Study Resources
Companion study notes, commentary, and next-step resources for this set of readings from the Mission & Messages Discipleship Journal.
This Set’s Big Idea
God calls His people to remain faithful to Christ while the world is increasingly deceived, opposed to God, and headed toward judgment.
As you read, watch how Revelation contrasts those who worship the Beast with those who remain loyal to the Lamb. Notice God’s warnings, His patience, and the certainty that every evil kingdom will ultimately fall before Christ.
These notes correspond with Set 37 readings in Mission & Messages. First, use MTSM’s Pray, Read, Ask, and Pray method to study the passage devotionally. After you finish, use these notes to deepen your understanding if you’d like.
Revelation 13–17 presents some of the most vivid and symbolic visions in Scripture. John describes the Beast, the False Prophet, the mark of the Beast, the faithfulness of God’s people, the harvest of the earth, the bowl judgments, and the rise and fall of Babylon. Throughout these chapters, believers are repeatedly called to endurance, wisdom, and unwavering devotion to Jesus Christ.
As you read, pay attention to the contrast between truth and deception, worship of God and worship of the Beast, temporary earthly power and Christ’s eternal kingdom. Though evil may appear strong for a season, Revelation reminds us that God remains sovereign and His victory is certain.
