Chuck Smith
Sermon Notes for Revelation 17:14

Intro: On the earth, the greatest gathering of military might in the history of the world has taken place as the 10 kings give their power to the beast (anti-Christ). They actually think they can thwart the return of Jesus Christ to establish God's reign over the earth.

b. Man unrestrained turns from nature or the natural use of his procreative powers.
B. The Lamb is King of kings and Lord of Lords.
1. He rules over lords and reigns over kings.

B. These are also chosen.

a. Eph. 1.
b. Chosen in Him before the foundations of the earth.
2. In Romans 8 he tells us that those He predestined, He also called.
C. Faithful.

III. GREAT TO BE ON THE WINNING TEAM.
