Revelation

What is said before reading the book of Revelation

There are three (3) main parts to this book: (1) There are evil forces at work in the world, and Christians may have to suffer and die; (2) Jesus is Lord, and He will conquer all people and powers who oppose God; and (3) God has wonderful rewards in store for his faithful people, who remain faithful to Him, especially for those who lose their lives in his service.There are seven letters to seven churches. These letters show what different groups of the Lord's followers will do in times of persecution ( 2:1-3:22). The Vision of God's throne (4:1-11) and of the scroll and the Lamb (5:1-14) show that God and Christ are in control of all human and supernatural events. Opening seven seals (6:1-8:5), blowing the seven trumpets (8:6-11:19), and emptying the seven bowls(16:1-21) are among the visions that show God's fierce judgment on the world. After the suffering has ended, God's faithful people will recieve the greatest blessing of all:God's home is now with his people. He will live with them, and they will be His own. Yes, god will make His home among His people, He will wipe all tears from their eyes, and there will be no more death, suffering, crying or pain. These things of the past are gone forever. (21:3-4)What I have written are some of the things that I will be going over in the book of Revelation. Now I have mentioned in my last blog about the Seven Churches. Now these Seven Churches are real churches and when the Lord write these letters to the Churches they are for all churches from age to age. Meaning that as times goes on these churches have had different generations through them. So the letters are not just the Churches back in Jesus time, but for ours as well. I want to mention that we the Rapture comes that we do disappear. The first people that will disappear would be the Christians that have died already. Their souls and spirits are already with the Lord and while their body are still here on earth. Now when the Rapture happens their soul and spirit will reconnect with their bodies and then they will be taken back to heaven. This will happen in a blink of an eye. After the dead get taken then the Christians that are alive will be taken in a blink of an eye. Their bodies will just disappear and all that will be left is what they were wearing. These Christian's will be living with God for 7 years in Heaven, and when the 7 years of Tribulation is over God and His believers will come back to earth. Now I don't want to get ahead of my self but I wanted to get that part clear. Now most people think that Heaven is a place high in the sky on clouds, well that isn't true. Heaven is a real place, some people may say that it's on another planet or even in another dimension. No one really know, but they do know it is a real place and that is where God's throne is. Now as I learn more in my Bible Studies at church I will continue to let you know what I have learn. In the Mean time I will write to you what I have found out on my own when I get the chance. I will try to write something every other day. I know that I will write something every Wednesday after Bible Study. Until next time. Have God in your heart and He will lead you to happiness. God Bless.
