After seeing the plagues (Rev. 8-11), we find that repentance didn’t come from violence; Repentance happens from People taking in God’s Word (Sweet to the Taste & Bitter in the Stomach), and Faithfully Living it Out by God’s Spirit as Witnesses (even in the pressure of physical death). Our Faith, Hope, and Trust is in Our God Who Reigns and Rules Over All; Who Will Make All Things Right in the End.
