John's dream shows some scary, strange things in this part — but God is always the strong One who keeps His people safe.
Today's Story
In John's dream, more trumpets blow. Each one is like a warning bell, telling the world that God is dealing with everything that is wrong.
John sees some strange and scary things — smoke that darkens the sky, and creatures that look frightening. It is the kind of dream that might make your tummy feel funny.
But watch closely. God puts His special mark on His people first, so they are kept safe. The scary things cannot touch the ones who belong to God. He is guarding them the whole time.
God is showing the world that meanness and hurting will not get to stay forever. He is giving people a chance to turn back to Him and say sorry, because He loves them and wants them close.
It is a big, awe-filled part of the dream. The most important thing to remember is this: God is far stronger than anything scary. He keeps His people safe, and in the end, Jesus wins.
