Rev 15
A short 8 verses chapter.

The first word that reveal was the word great and mighty in v1. I ask whether it was refering to the signs, or the angels or God.

The signs that John seen can be great but not sure how can it be mighty. The angels can be great and mighty, The 7 seven that carry the last 7 plagues.

If so, then God must be very great and very mighty.

Amen to that, then what is my response?

v3 3 And they sing the song of Moses, the servant [1] of God, and the song of the Lamb. What then is this song about?

It is about the the great and mighty deeds of God.

Moses can sing this song because God delivered them out of Egypt. Not by the might of the Hebrew but by the rightoeus of God, the great and mighty deeds of God.

In Revelation, Michael and the angels fought aganist Satan and delivered the people of God, the lamb. But not by the valant of Michael, but again by the great and mighty God. Not a word is said in Exodus about Israel's valor and vigor in battle. Neither was it because Michael and his angels were better fighters. Not a word is said in Revelation chapter 12.

12:7-9) Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. (8) But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. (9) The great dragon was hurled down--that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

SO, indeed, if my God is great and mighty, what and whom shall I be afraid.

Yes, problems, unsolved problems and more problems. revelation showed the end of everything.

My response is then this - I am grateful for having a God who is great and mighty and yet wnated everything re-new. Flow then not by the vigor or the valant or by my wisdom, but by the will of this God who loves me.

I uplift my problems to you. My unsolved problems in my industrial project, the HDB house, the wedding, II, not by works. When I pray God works.
