coming soon

In the Jewish assemblies the Law declared that wherever as many as ten persons were gathered together they could indulge in public reading of the Word of God.You will see this clearly set forth in Luke 4:16-20,Acts 13:14-27,Acts 15:21.Verse 3 closes with the words,"..... for the time is at hand."
       Again,someone may be saying,"The writer John must have been mistaken,or he must have misunderstood,because it has been over 2000 years since those words were dictated to John the Beloved."But again-let me remind you that ever since Jesus came to this earth,was crucified,buried and rose again,ascended back to the Father where He is now seated at the right hand of the Father to mediate for us (1 Tim.2:5,Heb.1:3,)we have been living in the last days.
        "God,who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son,whom He hath appointed heir of all things,by whom also He made the worlds"(Heb. 1:1,2) . Here the Holy Spirit clearly testifies that these are the last days. I emphasize the statement:Since the Church began,we have been living in the last days.
       To further substantiate that statement,listen to these words: "Nor yet that He should offer Himself often,as the high priest entereth into the holy place every year with blood of others;for then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world:but now once in the end of the world hath He appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself"(Heb.9:25,26).Jesus came to this earth literally in the "end time,"or-the endof the world.Since Jesus came and died on the cross,we have been living in the closing days of time.
  Again we read,"Now all these things are happened unto them for ensamples (examples)and they are written for our admonition,UPON WHOM THE ENDS OF THE WORLD ARE COME." Surely these three scriptures will will satisfy the mind of anyone who cares to know the truth concerning this age.We are now living in the closing days of time and have been since Jesus came and died on the cross.Therefore,these things will "shortly come to pass,"and truthfully,"the time is at hand!". People please listen to this simple preacher do not fall into the trap of this world or into all the games of the mind that some churches and some so called men and women of God want to play,Jesus is coming soon and we need to be ready search your heart for yourself and let the Holy Spirit speak to you and you will know the truth search the scriptures for yourself and God will reveal the truth to you.TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The book of Revelation promises a blessing-and warns of a curse.The blessing is for those who read the ballybook and keep the things that are written therein.The curse is described in Revelation 22,and will befall those who tamper with the message of this prophecy.The word "Blessed"means happy.So in spite of the fact that some preachers declare that this book is a frightening book,a book to be ignored ,the Holy Spirit in the very outset declares that it is a blessed book,and that it brings joy and pleasure to the soul that reads it.
        One outstanding commentator declares that the literal translation here should read,"Blessed are they that read this book,aloud to the assemblies."That simply means blessed is the man who reads it aloud in the church,and blessed are those who hear the reading and obey the message.Be that as it may,the book carries a definite blessing for those who read it,those who hear it and who keep these verbally inspired communications which came from God,through the angel TO John.The blessing is stated in Revelation 1:3and again in Revelation 22:7.The curse is clearly set fourth in Revelation 22:18-19.God have mercy on some of the men who tamper with the book of Revelation in this day of liberalism and lying prophets!
     Paul admonished Timothy,"....Give attendance to reading"(1 Timothy 4:13).For many years in the first centuries of Christianity,the Scriptures were read aloud in the assemblies , but this has been completely done away with today,wit the exception of a small portion at the beginning of most Sunday morning services.Some churches today do not even have what is known as "responsive reading". However ,those who read Revelation-whether in public or in private , whether they read it aloud or silently, may rest assured of the Lord's blessing because it is promised here ,  and God cannot break His promise. PRAISE THE LIVING GOD!!!!!!!!

It is true that John the Beloved is the writer of the book of Revelation,but he is not the author.The Author of  Revelation is the Lord Jesus, Himself.The Apostle John was the scribe... the holy man to whom God spoke these words.It seems that the Holy Spirit desires to make this known clearly and unmistakably.Revelation1:1 and Revelation 22:8 clearly declare that the revelation came from God Almighty-not from man.Revelation is  the only book in the New Testament that Jesus personally closes with His own signature "I,JESUS,HAVE SENT MINE ANGEL TO TESTIFY UNTO YOU THESE THINGS IN THE CHURCHES!"(Rev.22:16).The book of Revelation is not history,as some would have you believe.This book records past, things present,and things to come.The angel is unnamed.He is simply referred to as "HIS angel."The order of the Revelation is FROM God,TO Christ-then BY Christ's angel to John,and then TO US......to all believers,servants,bondsmen......all who are born again.The first verse closes with the words ".....unto His servant, John."John the Beloved always writes in the third person in the four books bearing his name,but here in the book of Revelation he writes in the first person.He names himself three times in the introduction:Chapter1,verses1,4,and 9.He names himself two times in the closing chapters of the book:Chapter21:2,chapter22:8.Verse 2:"Who bare record of the Word of God,and of the testimony of Jesus Christ,and of all things that he saw."The Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ form the sum total of all the visions and revelations beheld by John the Beloved in Revelation John not only heard the words recorded here,but he also saw the visions.In the Spirit,John saw what will literally take place upon this earth and in the heavenlies at the consummation of all things.COME QUICKLY LORD JESUS I PRAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL IN JESUS NAME!

It is not just a revelation-or the unveiling-of the person of Christ,although in the book we see his high priestly,kingly glory;but the greater portion of it is given over to the unveiling of those events which will precede and accompany the return of the Lord Jesus to this earth.This truth is clearly seen from the fact that the Revelation was given to Jesus Christ by GOD THE FATHER to show unto his servants "things that must shortly come to pass"Just before His death,Jesus was ask by his disciples ,"When shall these things be?"(referring to things Jesus had to declared would come to pass - Mark 13:1-3.HE Replied,"Of that day an of that hour knoweth no man no, not the angels which are in heaven,neither the Son (the Greek word used here neither literally means not yet),but the Father."After the ascension of Jesus,He received from the Heavenly Father the information the disciples had ask for.And before the close of the first century church,while at least on of the disciples(John the Beloved)was still living,God sent an angel to make known to John (and through him to the churches in Asia)the information that is unveiled in this great prophetic book of Revelation.Therefore,we see that the Scriptures would be incomplete without this book-without the unveiling of the Lord Jesus and the events that will occur before and during His return to the earth.Perhaps someone is asking,"Why did the Holy Spirit say,"Things which must shortly come to pass"since it has already been more than 1950 years since the words were spoken?"II Peter 3:8 answers that question:"...Beloved be not ignorant of this one thing,that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years,and a thousand years as one day."We must remember that we are dealing with Jehovah God,and even though time may seem long to us, it has only been almost 2 days (According to Gods great Time Clock of prophecy)since these words were uttered.Therefore,to those of us who are spiritually minded,who compare spiritual things with spiritual,it has not been along time.It has only been 2 days. KEEP LOOKING UP SAINTS HES COMING AGAIN!!!!

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!!!!!

Revelation Journey

For the last few months I have been in deep prayer about where to go next on my journey with GOD.As I searched my heart I prayed search my heart o LORD!  because for 24 years I have served our LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST and I did not want to do the same old things , I wanted to do something that would impact GODS people and to do something that will wake up the so called christian people.Now I am not insulting anyone at all , I too am a christian but as we sit on our pews or chairs at church we tend to get into a rut.So with that said I would like to take us on a journey through Revelation with Gods help, I truly believe we are in the end times and I truly believe God is about ready to bring us home.Revelation has always been my favorite book of the bible,it gets me excited when i read what is to come for us Gods people so please pray with me that God will lead us. On the next blog i will begin. TO GOD BE ALL THE GLORY!!!!
