Be Ready
Eric Marvin, Pastor
In Week 3 of our Revelation 2026 series, Pastor Eric Marvin walks through Revelation 6 and the opening of the first six seals.
As the Lamb begins to open the seals, John sees a sobering picture of the world leading up to God’s final restoration: conquest, war, famine, death, martyrdom, and cosmic upheaval. While these images can feel overwhelming, Revelation reminds us that God is not out of control. He is moving history toward His ultimate purpose.
Pastor Eric explains that Revelation is not given simply so we can speculate about the future, but so we can live faithfully in the present. The point is not fear, confusion, or obsession with timelines. The point is readiness.
Through this passage, we are reminded that the brokenness of the world is real. Sin has affected creation, humanity, and every system we build. Yet God’s ultimate plan is not destruction for destruction’s sake; it is restoration. He will bring all things back into harmony with Himself.
This message challenges every believer to live with anticipation. Whether we meet Jesus through His return or through the grave, we are called to be ready, faithful, and aligned with His mission today.
