In Revelation 22:16 Jesus said,
“I, Jesus, have sent My angel to give you (John) this testimony for the churches.” I have to stop and separate this detailed Word of God. Within this verse is so much Holy Spirit inspired knowledge. First, we must understand that the Book of Revelation IS the Word of God! The information contained in this book IS the message that was given by God to His Son to share with us. Jesus, by the Angel of the Lord, gave John knowledge and wisdom that is totally mind-blowing! In the last chapter of Revelation, Jesus said, “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to give you this testimony for the churches.” The first chapter of Revelation opens with the same information. John writes as a true witness. John wrote, “This is the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon come to pass. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John, who testifies to everything he saw. This is the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.” Revelation 1:1-2 Don’t you get it? The Book of Revelation MUST be read! It is the revelatory knowledge that brings true wisdom! There is no book in the Bible that is more important to those who love Christ than the Revelation that was given by God to Jesus to John, by the Angel of the Lord. The information contained in this book is designed specifically for the Body of Christ! It was written to the Church! As obedient children, it is our duty and responsibility to dig in John was told, “Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear and obey what is written in it, because the time is near.” Revelation 1:3 The Lord desires for us to read the Revelation. The Lord desires for us to speak and believe the words contained in the Revelation. The Lord desires for us to hear the Spirit of Revelation so that we can have Holy Spirit, divinely appointed wisdom. The Lord desires for us to obey the message given to the seven churches, and to have confident hope that He is coming back for us. The Lord is not trying to keep secrets. He wants us to know exactly how much He loves us. He loves us so much that He allowed the Lamb of God to be sacrificed for us. The Lord wants us to know that end of this age is coming soon. And while the Antichrist is currently being restrained, “the coming of the lawless one will be accompanied by the working of Satan, with every kind of power, sign, and false wonder, and with every wicked deception directed against those who are perishing, because they refused the love of the truth that would have saved them. For this reason God will send them a powerful delusion so that they believe the lie, in order that judgment may come upon all who have disbelieved the truth and delighted in wickedness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 The Day of the Lord is near. The Antichrist will soon be revealed. But do not fear - because the Lion of Judah is coming back as our King! The Lord Jesus will slay the Antichrist with the breath of His mouth and annihilate the Antichrist by the majesty of His arrival.” 2 Thessalonians 2:8 Know this - God will be bringing His judgement down; and only those who are covered by the blood of Christ will be invited into the Kingdom of God. The end of the age and the Day of he Lord IS recorded in the Book of Revelation. Followers of Christ are called to be watchman. Jesus said, “Do you think that I have come to bring peace to the earth? No, I tell you, but division.” Luke 12:51 He said, “You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time?” Luke 12:56 Jesus also said, “Blessed are those servants whom the master finds on watch when he returns. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve and will have them recline at the table, and he himself will come and wait on them. Even if he comes in the 2nd or 3rd watch of the night and finds them alert, those servants will be blessed.” Luke 12:37-38 It does not matter if you are 10 or 100, God is a good, good Father. He is always ready to welcome the prodigal son! He leaves the 99 to chase after the one. His desire is for you to come home. Those who love Christ, I implore you to read the Revelation of Jesus NOW! The time has come for you to wrestle with God. The time has come for you to abide in His Word, and ready yourselves for His arrival. Here is some godly wisdom - Prepare with the end in mind.
