What or who are you worshipping? We are created to worship! The problem is that we often worship the wrong things. The Bible forbids the worship of anything or anyone other than God, which includes: angels, saints, Mary (Jesus’ mother), or any other created being. Here in Revelation 22:8-9 reminds us that a proper understanding of the book of Revelation will elicit worship, but God alone is the only acceptable Person to worship. We are reminded here in this book, that our salvation is not in the power of men, but through the Power of God. This truth should elicit worship in all who recognize that salvation. Jesus is preparing to return, are you ready?… READ MORE

The reality of our Lord’s imminent return, seen in Revelation 22:7, calls for a response on the part of every follower of Jesus Christ. It begins in the second part of Revelation 22:7, where we read, “Blessed is he that keeps the sayings of the prophecy of this book.” Followers of Jesus Christ are called to immediate obedience to His words. Jesus said in John 14:15, “If you love me, keep my commandments.” We do not choose to be obedient to the Lord because we desire to gain heaven, we choose to be obedient because we love our Savior. Revelation 22:7 is a general command to long for Christ’s return and our eternal fellowship with Him. After reading the book of Revelation.

He is not talking about the timing of His coming but the manner of His coming. In other words, His coming will be quick. I Corinthians 15:52 says, he will come in “the twinkling of an eye.” In Matthew 25 He shares with the disciples the parable of the 10 virgins, and how the bridegoom’s coming caught 5 unprepared. I believe as John is finishing this wonderful book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ, Jesus tells him to remind everyone that His return will be quick, so stay prepared for the return. The glory of His return is that it will be in a moment when we do not think it will come, and challenges us to be prepared for that moment!… READ MORE
