May God Bless This Journey In Jesus Name!
Rev. 1:1-3: The Revelation of Jesus Christ,which God gave him to show to his bond-servants,the things which must soon take place;and he sent and communicated it by his angel to his bond-servant John,who testified to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ,even to all that he saw.Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy,and heed the things which are written in it ; for the time is near. This book is not the book of "Revelations" (plural). It is not the "the Revelation of St John the Divine"The word "Revelation"is singular-and as the first verse clearly declares, this book is "the Revelation of Jesus Christ,which God gave to him". In this interesting and only prophetic book of the New Testament,the Lord Jesus is unveiled.The future is made known in a series of visions,beheld by John the Beloved who was on the isle of Patmos,John saw in the Spirit things that will happen literally.In Revelation we will see light and darkness..... righteousness and unrighteousness...... good and evil opposing each other.We will also see Jehovah God,the Lamb Christ Jesus,and Satan.We will see men-saved and unsaved. We will study angels-holy and unholy.We will witness the greatest blood bath and the greatest fire this earth or any planet will ever know.As we study the book of Revelation,the scenes will change-from time to eternity,from Heaven to earth,from the earth to the lake of fire,from the river of blood( 200 miles long,6 feet deep and ten miles wide)to the appearing of myriads of millions of white horses with their riders in the sky!(Rev:11-16).Yes the veil is rolled back.The result? God is Victorious!!!!!!!!! Praise the Living God!!!! The millennium and the eternal glories of Christ shine forth in Revelation in undying beauty and splendor found no other place in Holy Scripture. At the consumption of all things-when all things are made new-then will be the complete fulfillment of the words of the prophet,"He shall see of the travail of his soul,and shall be satisfied "(Isaiah 53;11a). As we move toward the end of the book,we will witness a new Heaven and a new Earth (chapters 21 and 22) and we will see the righteous and holy abiding in their eternal dwelling places. As we near the end of the book (chapters 20:10 and 21:8) we will witness the horrible lake of fire and those who will spend eternity in this terrible place of torment. Please pray with me that this will wake people up,because our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is coming soon and as a nation we are not ready.We will pick up here next week.TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!!!!!
