By Golly Friends I got a call from Brother Daryl this morning and it led us to the Book of Revelation. The best sermon I have heard on Revelation was when Sharon and I were out in Elk Grove, California for her Dad’s funeral and that Sunday the Visiting Preacher Preached on the Book of Revelation.
I have the CD somewhere and my notes somewhere..but where???? I’m going to make a call and see if I can get another CD or have the Preacher on air with me.
Anyhow the Church does not Preach on Revelation enough….some are scared I guess……..or just don’t understand or believe!
From the Apologetics Study Bible…….(thanks for the Wonderful Gift Pastor Leonard that has increased my study and Belief in our Lord!)
In the body of the book, the ultimate choice for time and eternity is whether one will worship the beast (the Antichrist figure energized by Satan; see chap 13) or Christ the Lamb (chap 14). The strikingly placed command in 18:4 for God’s people to “come out” of Babylon implies that both unbelievers and compromised professing Christians are, even if subconsciously, in league with the diabolical spiritual force that has martyred many of God’s saints throughout the ages (17:6, 18: 20,24). For either group —–unbelievers or sinning church members—–the answer is to repent to gain victory (2:5,7 9:20-21). The warning from Revelation is thus clear: those who refuse the Lord’s offer of salvation will face climactic judgement and eternal consequences of their choice (20:11-15 21: 7-8
(Okay, I think I just got my answer why People don’t read and study from Revelation and it is not Preached on…..People do not even want to hear the TRUTH as a WHOLE, only in parts that they like!)
“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.
“Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this.”
Rev 1 18-19
Ask your Pastor to Preach and Teach on Revelation soon………By the way the Baptist Preacher reminded us all that Sunday, many Church people can’t even get the name of Revelation right……it is Revelation not Revelations…..as many in the Church today say…..he was saying this to get his point across that many in the Church are not as familiar with Revelation as they should be!
two more thoughts before I leave for Church……….
Took Buffy and Reno out for a run this morning……are you getting enough exercise?
