After the Apostle John
ate the little scroll, he was given a reed that looked like a measuring rod and was told to go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. He was told to exclude the outer court and not measure it, because it has been given over to the Gentiles. Revelation 11:1-2 Wow! By eating the scroll, which is the very Word of God, and by possessing the measuring stick of God, John was able to prophesy among nations, and people of many tongues. In essence, he said, the nations will be divided not by land and sea boundaries, but by inner and outer courts. The revelation that has been given, by God to Jesus and then, Jesus to John, is that there are some who are God’s children and some who are not. The term “Jews and Gentiles” is really about what makes up "The True Church." Paul said, “For you are not a true Jew just because you were born of Jewish descent, or because you have gone through the ceremony of circumcision. No, a true Jew is one whose heart is right with God. And true circumcision is not merely obeying the letter of the law; rather, it is a change of heart produced by the Spirit. And a person with a changed heart seeks praise from God, not from people.” Romans 2:28-29 Those who know God will read Revelation and bow down in awe, because they are the true children of God. The Revelation of Jesus Christ written by the Apostle John is the true story of the Old and New Testament all wrapped into One. Those who are afraid to learn about Jesus through this Revelation are still stuck in their pride. They have not YET been given spiritual eyes. There is no fear in the Pure Love of God. There is no sorrow because God's children know the true meaning of Love. Brothers and sisters in Christ - Do Not Rely on another person to teach you God’s Word! YOU must dive in to personally know God yourself. YOU must dive in and give God your heart. Brothers and Sisters in Christ - Do NOT trust in yourself, but trust in God who has placed His Spirit inside of you so that you can know the whole truth. Jesus said, “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.” John 16:12-13 Come! Look for yourself. Half the time, I don’t even know what I write because I am only reflecting God’s light. Do you think my words are my own? No, they are not! They only exist because I am a true servant of God. Come! The invitation is yours. It is time to seek refuge in our risen Savior, the Lord, the slain Lamb who gave up His life. The slain Lamb is coming back! Every knee will bow and declare Him as King.
