Revelation 14:1-5
Intro/Attention
Tonight, we come to Revelation 14 as we study verse-by-verse through this New Testament prophecy. In the last message, we looked at chapter 13:11-18 and saw how the False Prophet and the Antichrist will force the unbelieving world to take the ''mark of the beast.'' Chapter 14 begins with a very different tone.
Chapter 14 is a bright contrast to the darkness of chapter 13, which describes Satan (the dragon), Antichrist, the final false prophet, deception, the unredeemed, idolatry, and the mark of the beast. Chapter 14 describes the Lamb, angels, redeemed saints, genuine worship, and those sealed by God. In chapter 13 there is falsehood, wickedness, corruption, and blasphemy; in chapter 14 there is truth, righteousness, purity, and praise.
And there is a phrase in the first verse of this chapter that I want to focus on tonight. It's a phrase that we could easily overlook if we're not careful. There are so many chapters that we have already studied and many more to study before we finish. Sometimes, when there's this much information, words and phrases get overlooked while paragraphs and chapters form the point of the message. While there's nothing wrong with that, I wanted to slow down just a bit and look at a few verses in chapter 14 and center our thinking tonight around one powerful phrase found in verse 1: ''On Mount Zion stood the Lamb...'' (ON SCREEN) Another translation says, ''A Lamb standing on Mount Zion...'' (ON SCREEN) So, from that one little phrase I have developed the subject for the sermon this evening: The Lamb Still Stands.

Coaches who lose are fired; players who lose are traded; executives who fail are replaced; politicians who fail are voted out of office. Ou ...
