Summary
Emma Dotter is in the podcast studio teaching us Revelation 14 and what exactly we are supposed to be walking away with from this chapter. We leave this episode encouraged of the truth that we serve a God who makes a way out of sinfulness, has a heart to save all of us and is perfectly just and loving.
Today's challenge: What does it look like for us today as believers, to operate as bright lights in a world constantly competing for our attention and loyalty?

| 0:05.7 | with your host emma daughter thanks for joining and merry christmas today we're reading |
| 0:12.6 | revelation 14 which raises some pretty standard revelation questions like what's the mark of the beast |
| 0:18.6 | and how should christians today apply this specific chapter |
| 0:22.5 | to our lives? Well, one of my favorite movies is the Polar Express, and hang with me here. |
| 0:28.2 | In the movie, each child receives a special golden ticket, but one girl loses her ticket. |

| 1:02.7 | We don't want to be left out. We want to experience the good stuff. And for those who turned to Christ during the tribulation, |

| 1:26.7 | To set the scene, verse one, we read the words |
| 1:29.8 | on Mount Zion. And whenever we hear on Mount Zion or Mount Zion, our brains should go, hope, |
| 1:36.5 | joy, a good place, a good city, this is where the good guys, quote-unquote, should be. |
| 1:41.7 | There are differing views now as to whether we're talking the literal |
