Revelation 16:17 (KJV)
And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.
The words seem so final, so foreboding.
But they don’t always feel that way.
- When a project is completed.
- When a course is accomplished.
- When a trip has been successful.
- When a plan comes together.
One of the most satisfying things I’ve ever experienced was as an ironworker, driving past a building in Colorado I helped construct as a young man, pointing it out to my sons, and saying, “I helped do that.”
There was another time when God spoke words much like these: “It is finished.”
The cross of Christ was, from the human standpoint, cruel, unjust, and senseless. But when Jesus pronounced, at the moment of His death, “It is finished,” the most gracious and glorious of events had been accomplished. God Himself had paid the debt of man’s sin!
That’s what makes this passage so tragic. If only they had responded to Jesus’s words, “It is finished,” they would never have had to endure the moment when God says, “It is done.”
Accepting Christ’s finished work at Calvary promises that sin will never have the final say in our eternity.

It Is Finished vs. It Is Done: Choosing Between Grace and Wrath
What about you? Have you trusted in Christ’s finished work on the cross, or are you still waiting for God’s final words, “It is done”? The difference between those two declarations is the difference between eternal life and eternal judgment.
