133. Beholding Christ | Studies in Revelation Part 28: The Prince of Peace

Revelation 6:1-8

The tribulation starts out with the promise of peace and security, but things quickly take a turn for the worse. This terrifying time involves widespread disease, ravaging war, economic turmoil, and violent death. But Christ offers true peace that never fades away. He is contrasted with the antichrist’s fake peace in Daniel 8:25-26 and John 10:10 (see also Isaiah 9:6-7, Colossians 3:15, Isaiah 26:3-4, Philippians 4:6-7, John 14:27, and John 16:33). He is the one we should be resting in every single day. As Isaiah 55:6 says, let us seek Him while He may be found and call upon Him while He is near.
