Top 10 of Revelation Vol 2 s7E97
11 I GET ANEW BODY
john saw Jesus in heaven with a body. Jesus left the earth with a physical/spiritual body. He bore our image here so we could bear his image there. He bore the image of dust so we can bear image of immortality. He came to look like us here so we can look like him there. You will have a real body in heaven , real heavenly body, different, identifyable, unique, distinguishing spiritual, and maybe even glorious bodies.
12 JESUS KNOWS-omnicience
In Revelation, we witness Jesus walking amidst His churches. He’ s not totally happy with what He sees. He doesn’t find anything that He doesn’t KNOW already. When He says, I KNOW YOU, He really means it. He was the first take your sins your sins seriously, so that one day YOU might take your sins seriously. He was grieved for your sins first, so that one day YOU cold be grieved for your sin.
13 FREE WILL
A Relationship with Him is Possible. Free will for the first time. It is what the whole book is about. Free will is a prominent theme: it is supposed to be used to be in relationship with Him. 21 2nd chances to believe and yield, and some do!
Continued free will: When we hear, “you have lost your first love” 2.4Jesus wants our first love devotion. It is a love not of duty but of dearness. Jesus desires a dear, near, first love ,relationship with us. If it is lost, “divorced”, it is recoverable.
14 EAR
God is doing battle with sin, deceitful hearts, lazy thinking, later beasts, Satan, and death itself. To hear of this appropriately, may we tune our ears to hear of it. Have a good spiritual ear. What is in Revelation is so amazing, out of this world, I ask for God’s help to “give me an ear” even to hear of it.
15 SEX
Some things about revelation were expected. Here was one that was unexpected: sex. Book of revelation is about SEX.
TO ACT WITH SEXUAL IMMORALITY IS TO ACT TREACHEROUSLY AGAINST THE LORD BECAUSE THE MORALITY OF SEXUALITY COMES FROM THE LORD.
It is a tendancy of man to bend one’s theology toward the zipper
Why is it that bad theology Always seems to end up with the zipper?
Bad beliefs lead to bad behavior
Bad theology leads to bad zipperology******
Bad Zipperology is justified by bad theology******
16PROSPERITY
Believing and obeying and being ultimately a part of the reality of Revelation is the ultimate in PROSPERITY. Freedom from clutches of Sin and Death We get a new HOME, we get a renewed BODY, a new RELATIONSHIP, a new Morningstar, Nicknames I WONDER WHAT NAME THE LORD WILL CALL US BY. Gives us HIMSELF.
17 Perseverance
Revelation is a Book about doing the right thing with God for a long time. Until my death or my rapture. One day at a time. All the way. Patient endurance one more day steadfastly until the end. Charge is: Hold fast! One more day! I got this! Keep His Word.
18 LOVE STORY The Movie Toy Story is really a LOVE STORY. Or more accurately, a LONGING to be LOVED story. Woody and the rest of the toys desire to be loved by Andy; to be OWNED by him. Literally, they most desire that he WRITE HIS NAME ON THEM.
Similarly, God tells believers that He will write his name on us. It is a beautiful conclusion to our life of desire for Him.
19 PUBLIC Our precious relationship to God is Personal, overwhelming, intimate, irreplaceable and dear. What it is NOT, is PRIVATE. In this passage, the enemies of God learn of God by learning of His relationship with people. Winsome
Winsome to PEOPLE; I want a relationship like that. If you are a Christian, there is no such thing as a “private faith.” Everybody should know.
