Worthiness and Worship
Revelation 4
“Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.” Revelation 4:11.
After we read the letters to the churches in chapters 2-3, we come to some amazing sights. Verse 1 says that John saw a doorway open in Heaven! It isn’t that some angel forgot to close it, but John was meant to experience the glory and wonders of Heaven even before he was able to see the coming devastation of Earth. (more…)
Pay Attention And Stay Focused
Revelation 2:29
We are now in “The Book of Revelation”. One may ask the question: exactly what is “The book of Revelation” and what is it all about? The very best answer as always is the on given by God’s word. Revelation 1:1-3 gives us the answer so let’s check it out (The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who later hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.)
As we can clearly see it was written to further reveal Jesus Christ and to show what must shortly take place. Notice it is also the only book of scripture where there is a blessing promised for those who hear and keep (meaning obey) what is written specifically in this book. (more…)
A Special Blessing
Revelation 1
Have you ever been reading or studying something but you are not really able to understand what you are reading? You read it over and over and no matter how many times you read it, it still does not make sense? It’s in those moments that we wish we had a cliffnotes version of whatever it is we are studying. Revelation can be a difficult book to understand but in the very first chapter Jesus gives us an outline of the entire book which will be helpful as we study Revelation together.
Revelation 1:19 “Write therefore the things that you have seen, those that are and those that are to take place after this.” (more…)
