The World That Won't Repent
Eric Marvin, Pastor
In Week 5 of Revelation 2026, Pastor Eric Marvin examines Revelation 8 and 9 as the seventh seal is opened and the trumpet judgments begin. As God initiates His final plan of restoration, humanity experiences escalating judgment designed both to punish evil and call people to repentance.
The trumpet judgments mirror many of the plagues of Egypt and reveal God's authority over creation. Yet even as catastrophic events unfold, Revelation reveals a sobering truth: many people still refuse to repent.
This message focuses on the danger of idolatry, especially the worship of self, and demonstrates how a hardened heart can reject God even when confronted with overwhelming evidence of His power.
While Revelation's judgments are severe, they also reveal God's mercy as He continually provides opportunities for people to turn back to Him. Believers are challenged to be lights in a dark world, carrying the hope of the gospel to those who desperately need it.
