God will either give you what you ask for or give you angelic strength to deal with what he wants. To activate angels, worship, sacrifice, pray, submit to authority, and be a witness to Jesus Christ. When you worship, you join the angels in doing what they do best, and God activates them on your behalf. Submission means coming underneath the appropriate authority, and angels only operate under authority. Prayer is a way to activate angels, and Jesus understood this when he prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. When you're facing something impossible, submit to a greater strength, and God will let you see the angels coming up and down your commitment to Jesus Christ, addressing your needs on earth from the solutions in heaven.

The Bible describes a war between two cities, Babylon and the New Jerusalem, with Babylon representing mankind united in opposition to God. The New Jerusalem is God's city, founded on love of God, even to the contempt of self. The Christian life requires endurance, delayed gratification, and a deep conviction that the things we can't see yet are real. The Antichrist and the false prophet use religion as a tool to control people, but God's wrath is against sin, not against love. The primary metaphor for the Antichrist and the false prophet is prostitution, representing humanity's unfaithfulness to God. Christians should live in Babylon, deeply integrated into life here, but distinct from her sins and her man-centered ways. [... more]

The book of Revelation reveals a scene in heaven where God's redeemed people and all of creation are consumed in worship, giving glory to God's greatness and perfection. This scene shows that worship is where it's all headed and that it's what we're created for, as God's ultimate purpose is to give us a glimpse of his glory.
