THINGS WHICH MUST SOON TAKE PLACE

PROCLAMATION

“The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto Him, to show unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it by His angel unto His servant John; Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all the things that he saw.”  Revelation 1:1-2 (KJV)

 

EXPLANATION

These are the words of the prophecy, which was revealed to, and written by, the Apostle John, under the influence of The Holy Spirit of God.  In this, the last Bible Book of The New Testament, John records the revelation of the things which are to come.  This is according to the vision that he saw in his old age when he was taken up in the spirit while he was on the island of Patmos. (Revelation 1:9-10)  John was told by Christ to write down the things were revealed to him in the vision. (Revelation 1:19)

 

APPLICATION

The Bible Book of Revelation is a very special Book.  It is the last Book of The Bible.  This New Testament Bible Book of prophecy is so special that everyone who reads it, and everyone who hears it and takes to heart what it says, will be blessed. (Revelation 1:3)  The Book was addressed to the church, specifically the seven churches in the province of Asia. (Revelation 1:4)  Christ is coming back again, and when He comes back every eye will see Him. (Revelation 1:7)  When He left this earth, He ascended to heaven on a cloud. (Acts 1:9)  When He returns, He will come back on a cloud as it was predicted. (Daniel 7:13-14, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17, and Revelation 1:7)  His physical appearance will be a surprise to a lot of people.  The hair on His head will be like wool, curly, and white as snow.  His eyes will be like blazing fire.  His skin will look like fine brass, bronze in color as if burned.  His voice will sound like rushing waters.  His face will be like the shining sun and the words coming out of His mouth will be like a two-edged sword.  (Revelation 1:14-16)   Read The Bible Book of Revelation and pray for understanding.  Take this to heart because the end of time is near.
