Even
so come Lord Jesus Part Two
If
we are filled with the Holy Spirit as we live today (you have to be a believer
in Christ to do this) we produce the fruit of the Spirit. There has to be a
connection when the Bible says a new "Fruit" will produce every
month. The leaves from the tree of life draw strength from the river. The Tree
of Life first appeared in the Garden of Eden and here we read about it again in
the New Jerusalem. When Adam eaten of the Tree of Life they could not go
near the Tree of Life because God did not want a sin fallen nature eating from
this Tree because they would live forever in their fallen sin natures.
Verse
five says we will reign with Jesus Christ forever and ever. We will not just be
servants which will be our delight but someone or something will need governing.
The apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 6:3 that we will rule over angels. Jesus
said in the parable of the talents in Luke nineteen that if we are faithful
over ten things we will rule over ten cities. If we know what Revelation twenty
two says about our future we will aquire more patience and strength to bear the
burdens of this life. We can look at the troubles around us but in light of the
richest blessing that will be ours forever and ever. There should be an urgency
of getting the prophetic message out because time is running out as we
know it because very soon the whole world will face this prophetic scenario
starting with the rapture of the church.
Many
people have avoided reading the book of Revelation because they thought it was
to hard. I was only going to do a commentary on a few chapters but as time
progressed this did not make any sense to me. In Revelation chapter one we are
promised a special blessing if we read this book. The more open we are to the
truth the greater the blessing. The apostle John did not seek this book
out, God gave this to him. Notice the apostle John was commanded not to keep to
himself the words of this prophecy. The purpose is to bring lost people to
repentance and Christians to praising God.
Verse
eleven is interesting because if a person reads this prophetic message and
rejects the warnings, decides to stay unjust he or she will die separated
from God for all eternity. "And as it is appointed unto men once to
die, but after this the judgment." Hebrews 9:27: There is no second chance
so before you turn down this saving message of Jesus Christ think extremely
hard at the consequences. Once the rapture takes place events will move very
fast. 2 Timothy 4:8 promises a special crown to all those who love His
appearing. In the first book of the Bible (Genesis) we see Jesus Christ as the
Alpha (the beginning) but in the last book of the Bible (Revelation) we
see Jesus Christ as the Omega. Jesus Christ will be the victor over Satan.
There
is a warning to not add or take away from this book. While there are different
opinions on verses in the book of Revelation God is saying do not take away the
message of the work of Jesus Christ as Savior, Lord and Judge.
In
verse twenty the Bible says even so come Lord Jesus. There is an urgency so if
I were to turn the theme around people need to "Come" to know
the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Savior and Lord by repenting of
all their sins and inviting the Son of God into their life. I do not
know when Jesus Christ is coming but this event will not be held off to much
longer because the world has become exceedingly evil. The prophetic signs do
match the prophetic word. Pick up the newspaper or watch the news. I hope you
just made that all important decision because time is running very short. The
prophetic clock is almost at the midnight hour.
God
bless you,
