Side Note: Yesterday the 9th was our local Susan G Komen Race for the Cure... it was a great day, 16,000 people showed up to run/walk in the Race, thats the most people we've ever had. It was also a very hard, sad emotional day too... I celebrated another year of life and another wedding anniversary as well... my husband and I are huge college football fans and our home team lost yesterday for the first time this season.
Side Note: It's the end of the week, the 8th of October, right before the Susan G Komen RFTC walk tomorrow. I have been volunteering all week long at our local mall helping to get people registered and pick up their Race Day packets... I truly am exhausted!!
I started attending bible studies back in the fall of 1998 and my first one was the book of Revelation with our local chapter from the National group Community Bible Study. Community Bible Studies are hard and make you "think and research" if you are not familiar with them as I was not back then.
Let's jump in and take an overview look at the book of Revelation.
The book of Revelation is the phenominal conclusion of the Bible. The Apostle (Priest and teacher) John is the Author. Christ appears to John and commissions (instructs) him to write letters to seven churches in Asia (believers and children of GOD), in esscence to evaluate the spiritual conditions of each church and prepare each of them for the things of the future that must all happen before the return of Christ. There are many judgements, Prophecies and a Great Tribulation to come before the return of Christ too. The end of the book of Revelation describes the glorious establishment of the kingdom of GOD and gives details about eternal life.
Who was the Apostle John?? John was born of Zacharias and Elisabeth, a first cousin to Christ, a child of promise with phophecies of missions, who grew up in the desert until the time arrived for his ministry to prepare the way for Jesus. John was a Desciple and then became an Apostle to Christ.
So John was instructed by Christ to tell all the believers in Asia to take a look at their hearts and lives and live for Jesus. John warned the churches about all of the judgements, prophecies and the Great Tribulation before the return of Christ as well as gave specific details about eternal life.
Pretty cool huh??
A Memory Verse: Revelation 1:17-18
17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me,[a] “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. 18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
My prayer for you... I pray that Jesus Christ will give you the spiritual vision to see and understand on a deeper level who Christ really is... Amen!!
Questions, comments??
Until next time, GOD BLESS!!
Biblical Prophecy FYI
ReplyDeleteDid you know that a widely known Bible prophecy writer is also a little known uber-conservative commentator who is everywhere in the internet's "underground"? FYI visit Google and type in "Pretrib Rapture Secrecy," "Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty," "Obama Supports Public Depravity," "Michelle Obama's Allah-day," and "Un-Americans Fight Franklin Graham."
