Living in a peaceful and happy society it is easy to feel like we humans have got things pretty well sorted. However, what we see in front of us is only a super thin slice of the broader story of human history. There is a long history of rebellion and destruction that follows us everywhere. For this reason God has always sought to show His displeasure at our rebellion through ongoing judgment against sin. Chapters 8-9 of Revelation uncover the depth of this judgment and what that means for the people of God.
