Jesus is coming next Tuesday. S27e92 Rev 22:12
I don’t know when Jesus is coming back.
He does. He said it was soon..******
We’d best pay attention. What is He saying at the end that might merit our consideration. Live accordingly. Listen accordingly************
Don’t seal this up. –get this OUT THERE so people can “Keep this word.”
Aka respond to it appropriatedly
There is an inside and an outside of the kingdom. We can do this wrong. right
Red letter chapter. Jesus has a lot to say.
When the revelation of the bible, Old and new testament closes
what does He remind us of or tell us for the first time?
Is there some new stuff He reveals to us for the first time?
Lord, please MAKE THIS NEW for me*************
Is there some old stuff He reminds us of?
Either way, we should pay attention: Because He’s coming Tuesday,Let’s listen
12 “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”
14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. 15 Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.
16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”
I am coming soon—soon in my demise, Went to visit in nursing home, Everybody is in wheelchairs looked at back of hand in amazement, like it was for the first time “I don’t know when I got so old.” every old person says, “it went so fast” soon in 2nd coming time
Definitely soon in eternal time.
If you ‘ve got business to do with God Today would be a really good day
URGENT, reminder. 3x in last chapter.
If I told you Jesus was coming next Tuesday, what would change?*****
Who’d you forgive? Who would you bless? Who would you close the deal for someone who is close to the kingdom? How would you pray?
I bring recompense, reward, payment. Judgement Reward. Crowns: cast ‘em
Qualifications
I am Alpha and Omega: first and last; the beginning and the end
Was here at the beginning. not created; not a great moral teacher: He is diety; He is God. He is the key element in the NT and Old.
Does not shy away from Majesty on the Last page**********
Perfectly appropriate to leave this last page with our mouths agape, with nothing to say, speechless in awe, humbled by majesty
Exclusivity
There are those who are IN ; those who are OUT
Be the gal that is IN. Receive, believe, request, worship
How do I know?
Look in your pants. What are you doing with your zipper
Sexual immorality and bad theology are always bed partners******
If there are exceptions to that truth, write me.
Look to your hands: who have you killed? Who are you killing? Who do you want to kill? Is it everybody? Whose neck do you want to wring? Is road rage a thing for you? What makes you angry. Follow that rabbit trail, likely, you won’t like what you find when you get to the end of it. That’s the bad news. Good news is you could be doing it with Jesus and He’ll help.
Look to your idols. What’s more important to you than Sunday worship?
What have you missed Chruch for in the last month?
You’ll find an Idol there: golf, self, falsehood,
Look to your TRUTH: outside are those to play fast and loose with the truth
There is no truth.
Practices falsehood, makes a life characterizing habit of it
My first impression: if you live such a life you’d be ashamed of it
Have the decency to be ashamed
Now we have lost even that.
LOVE it, known by it. I fly the flag of falsehood boldly. Romans 1:32 Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.
Lost our shame. Lord please give us this back
I, Jesus: this is HIS revelation; This is the revelation of Himself
He OWNS this revelation. Source of it. Jesus is literally quoted here.
Either unreliably: throw the whole thing out.
Or, if RELIABLY: if this really is the revelation of Jesus what should I do?
What should I do if these 22 Chapters are ACTUALLY TRUE
What if this invisible podcaster has been Yammering for 92 mornings
About something that is TRUE, REAL, Accurate
BE UNDONE. Be upside down. Be a believer. Be disturbed.
Think of this to be reassured: He is the OBJECT of this revelation.
Be comforted.He’s done great work. He is the sacrifice. He’s got death. Evil. life
