Memory Text:
“Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s name written on their foreheads” (Revelation 14:1, NKJV).
As Seventh-day Adventists, we are used to searching for the symbols of Revelation in the stories of the Old Testament to help us understand those symbols. These narratives, though far from the only good source, are found all through the Old Testament.
One particularly rich source of information is the book of Psalms, a collection of sacred poetry that explores many human experiences and possible interactions with God—ranging from despondency over sin and suffering to unbridled joy in His presence and His repeated promises for forgiveness and salvation.
A careful reading of the Psalms yields details that make the book of Revelation come alive, especially Revelation 14:1-20, which describes the final work of God’s remnant church on earth. God’s last-day people have been given the same assignment as Israel of old: we are to be a light to the nations, a final merciful call to all people to worship and obey their Maker.
Some details provided in God’s songbook can give us new ways to understand and appreciate our role in the final moments of earth’s history.

Rabbia, rancore, delusione.
Tutti, prima o poi, viviamo emozioni che ci bruciano dentro. Ma come gestirle senza esserne sopraffatti? Nel Salmo 139, Davide arriva a pronunciare parole forti:
“Li odio di un odio perfetto!”. Una frase che sembra incompatibile con il messaggio di amore e perdono della Bibbia. Eppure, ci rivela una verità potente: anche la rabbia può diventare una preghiera. In questo episodio esploriamo:
– come affrontare i sentimenti “negativi” senza reprimerli
– perché Dio accoglie anche la nostra sofferenza più cruda
– come il confronto sincero con il Signore può trasformare il dolore in pace 🕗 Nuovi episodi ogni lunedì, alle 20:00.
