"Behold, I am coming soon! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book." "Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with Me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done." Revelation 22:7 & 12 (NIV)
The Apostle John, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was told to write these words and record what he saw and heard in the vision which God revealed to him future things to come. Jesus said that He was coming back soon. Blessed is the man who lives by and obeys the things written in The Word of God. When He comes back, Jesus will reward everyone according to what they have done.
The first time that Jesus came, He came to show us how to live and to save us from the penalty of our sins. The second time that He comes, He will come to gather all of the believers unto Himself, and the non-believers will be left behind. (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17) All those who lived by The Word of God will be blessed and rewarded. We will be judged and rewarded according to what we did that gave God glory. (Revelation 14:7)
