Revelation 34

Hi, and welcome to this quick Sunday Review. Thank you, as ever, for all your support and encouragement.

I was heartened to hear of two groups nearby who have started teaching Revelation and they are doing a very good job of it too.

Many have deep-seated fears about The Book of Revelation. They consider it to be too complicated, too divisive and way too wierd. And this fear or concern is understandable. The Church, over the years, has made a pretty bad job of understanding it. Way too many eccentric intellectuals, brandishing charts and time-tables, have muddied the path.

Revelation has seemed, at times, to be like a spaghetti-hoop soup with dark-monsters lurking within.

But there seems to be a timely change. Many are now re-discovering this magnificent book, and finding the glory within.

I have no doubt that the enemy hates both Revelation and Daniel. Both books describe his demise so clearly.

But the truth will prevail!

Thank you for reading this.

  Revelation 22:20 Our cherished hope
  There will be a unity of heart when everyone calls out for his glorious return. There will be a spirit of grace upon God’s people that will bring us all together in unity and brotherhood.

  Revelation 22:16 God’s Word
  No-one has a monopoly on the truths of this magnificent book, and we will all have our struggles and misunderstandings on our journey, but God is demanding that we treat Revelation with the utmost respect that it deserves. The truths that were sealed in Daniel’s time will be opened up according to God’s direction. This will need purified and refined souls to understand and teach, in the midst of immense confusion and mistruths. Please pray for those who are called to understand and teach.

  Revelation 22:11 In or Out…
  Even at this late stage, a reference to the polarity of mankind, between the righteous and the unrighteous. One thinks of Noah’s Ark, and the obedient who were safe inside and those who chose to ignore Noah’s call for righteousness and stayed outside.

  Revelation 22:7 The time is near indeed
  Having taken us to the very highest of heights, surveying the Holy City that is beautiful beyond words, John brings us back to our ordinary lives, waiting with a cherished expectation for our Lord to return and keeping the words of this prophecy, with all its encouragements, admonishments and warnings.

  Revelation 22:3 No longer any curse
  Peter praised his contemporaries for their faith in Christ Jesus although they had never met him in real life and had only heard of him through Peter.  Imagine though, what it will feel like, approaching the throne and gazing into the eyes of the Divine, to reach out and touch the very hem of his garment.  It will be beyond belief…
