Word in approximately three years. Gods

“6 "Thus says the Lord, the
King of Israel, And his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: 'I am the First and I am
the Last; Besides Me there is no God.” - Isaiah
44:6 - New King James Version
(NKJV)
Dear
Saints,
“The Book of the Revelation
of St. John consists of two principal divisions. 1. Relates to "the
things which are," that is, the then present state of the church, and
contains the epistle of John to the seven churches, and his account of the
appearance of the Lord Jesus, and his direction to the apostle to write what
he beheld, ch. 1:9-20 .
Also the addresses or epistles to seven churches of Asia. These, doubtless,
had reference to the state of the respective churches, as they then existed,
but contain excellent precepts and exhortations, commendations and reproofs,
promises and threatenings, suitable to instruct the Christian church at all
times. 2. Contains a prophecy of "the things which shall be
hereafter," and describes the future state of the church, from the time
when the apostle beheld the visions here recorded. It is intended for our
spiritual improvement; to warn the careless sinner, point out the way of
salvation to the awakened inquirer, build up the weak believer, comfort the
afflicted and tempted Christian, and, we may especially add, to strengthen
the martyr of Christ, under the cruel persecutions and sufferings inflicted
by Satan and his followers.
The Divine origin, the
design, and the importance of this book. (1-3) The
apostle John salutes the seven churches of Asia. (4-8) Declares
when, where, and how, the revelation was made to him. (9-11) His
vision, in which he saw Christ appear. (12-20)” - Matthew Henry Concise
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, (see Revelation 1:1-3) for the time is near. From John,
to the seven churches that are in Asia (see Revelation 1:4-8) and the one who is and was and is coming, the Almighty. Christ appears to John with a message for
the (see Revelation 1:9-11) churches: in Ephesus, Smyrna,
Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea. John saw seven oil lamps burning on top of
seven gold stands (see
Revelation 1:12-20) he is told to write down what he
sees; “20 As for the mystery of
the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and the seven gold lampstands,
here is what they mean: the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches,
and the seven lampstands are the seven churches. ” Revelation
1:20 NKJV. Each person receives
an equipping for the tasks Jesus requires of them; (see John 8:26) along with the gifts, the Holy Spirit has a plan for every
man; “15
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world,
the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world--the
lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not of the
Father but is of the world. ” 1 John 2:15-16 NKJV. Brothers and sisters avoid the worldly gifts
(see Romans 12:2) and seek the gifts of the Spirit. The person who desires to be rewarded with worldly
wealth and power (see Titus
3:5) doesn’t know the Word of God or the testimony of Jesus.
Are you ready to trust God? If the answer is yes; today
is the day of your salvation! Don’t wait another minute to leave,
change or quit anything (see Revelation
3:20) Jesus is at knocking at your door this minute. He wants you
to come just as you are! Do you hear Jesus calling you?
