Morning Scripture Verse – Revelation Chapter 7

Today’s Bible verses are from Revelation chapter 7. These verses exalt Christ and are a great comfort to us believers. All three of these verses mention Christ as the Lamb of God.

Revelation 7:10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”

Revelation 7:14 And I said to him, “Sir, you know.”  So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

Revelation 7:17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

Morning Scripture Verse – Revelation Chapter 4

The universe, and the angels acknowledge that God created the universe, and so He is worth of all honor.   No one but God can create something out of nothing.  God is eternal.  Here is today’s verse from Revelation chapter 4, verse 11 “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, since you created all things, and because of your will they existed and were created!”

The best man can do is to transform matter into matter or energy, but man cannot create something out of nothing.

Morning Scripture Verse – Revelation Chapter 3

Can you believe that the Lord is outside the church, knocking and trying to get in!  This is the situation in this verse in chapter 3 of Revelation: (Rev 3:20)
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

Sometimes we borrow this verse to talk about how the Lord wants to come into a person’s life and be everything to them. Like be their savior and redeemer. But actually here is a group of people who at one point loved The Lord, but somehow now do not welcome Him. So let us welcome Him into our lives individually and corporately.

Morning Scripture Verse – Revelation Chapter 1

Our uplifting encouraging morning scripture verse is from Revelation Chapter 1.

Rev 1:3 Blessed is he that reads, and they that hear the words of the prophecy, and keep the things written in it; for the time is near.  Scripture verse 8, I am the Alpha and the Omega, saith [the] Lord God, he who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.   This Bible verse indicates God is eternal, without beginning and without end.

Happy Ending

The Bible ends in a happy way.
Everyone loves a story with a happy ending. Some people even cheat and just read the last chapter. Well, in God’s story that He is writing, God finishes in a very positive way.  His story includes the history of humanity, the earth, and the rest of the universe.

So jump to the last book of the Bible, the book of Revelation, and see how God finishes in a happy way. At the end, all evil is conquered, all evil is thrown into the eternal trash can called the Lake of fire. Unfortunately, those that follow evil also end up in the trash can.  God is on the throne. There is a heavenly wonderful city called the New Jerusalem, and God’s people live with God in this city for eternity. So it is important to believe in Jesus to be a part of the happy ending.

The Book of Revelation is about Jesus Christ

The Book of Revelation is about Jesus Christ 

In the Bible, the Book of Revelation starts out with the phrase, “The revelation of Jesus Christ”.  The central point of this book is a about a person, and that person is Jesus Christ.  Now as I was preparing this lesson and the outlines I really wanted to find out about John.  John wrote the book of Revelation, but he also wrote the gospel of John the epistles of I, II, and III John as well.  What kind of person was John? What type of relationship did John have with Jesus Christ? Did John just know Him in an objective way?

“Oh my, this is quite a book!”  So many things are mentioned in the twenty-two chapters of Revelation.  Christ is portrayed in a rather mysterious way and there is also a discussion of the Antichrist. You’ve got the Tribulation and God’s judgment on the world.  Babylon is discussed in detail and then you have this city at the end of the book referred to as the New Jerusalem. There are a lot of mysterious things in this book.  I began to prayerfully read through it just to get an idea of what it all boils down to.  I noted that the first three words in the Greek text of Revelation are:  revelation, Jesus, and Christ.  What is this book really about? Is it about prophecy? Yes, there is prophecy in it.  Is it about the Antichrist? Yes, it talks about the Antichrist and the mark of the beast and all these things.  I came to realize that this book talks about one person and that one person is Jesus Christ.  In order to understand the book of Revelation properly we need to see Jesus Christ.

The book of Genesis is a very proper beginning to the Bible and Revelation is a proper conclusion to the Bible.
