As most of you who read my page know, I love to study prophecy. God guides me through this wonderful journey of His Word and He ties it all together in the study of prophecy. I get great pleasure studying the Bible, reading books, and listening to podcasts and sermons about the end times. I am constantly drawn to it. Prophecy proves the Bible is true and it has increased my faith. I fall deeper in love with Jesus every time I open my Bible with a hungry heart.
But what good does all of this do if we simply study it for ourselves? Our unsaved friends and family will never hear these messages or read these books. They won’t know the wonders of salvation, the beauty of God’s Word, or His extraordinary great love and patience so that none shall perish but all shall have eternal life.
They won’t know the extreme hardship of the Tribulation or the unimaginable beauty of Heaven. They won’t know we have peace about our own future or the hope of the Lord’s Return. They won’t even know that Jesus is coming for us at any time and that we need to be ready. They won’t know why studying prohecy is exciting and heartbreaking at the same time.
They won’t know…… unless we tell them.
The Revealing Revelation Workbook reminds us that we are called to be ambassadors of Christ. An ambassador is a representative of country and is sent by the ruling party. An ambassador “re-presents” the one who sends. We are called to “re-present” Jesus! We are citizens of Heaven and we are to represent Him.
Every day our world changes and none of it for the better. God knows the future and He has foretold it to us. No other so-called deity can make that claim! God gave us prohecy to prove He IS who He says He IS! He gave us prohecy to prepare us for what is still ahead.
Boldness is required of us. Truth in love is required of us. Fighting for justice and defending our religious freedom is required of us. Telling others about what Jesus has done for us and what He can do for them is required of us. That’s hard, especially for introverts like me. 😊
I cannot encourage you enough to dive deep into His Word. The time in which we currently live demands it. Deception and false teaching is ramping up!
I have read the end of the Book! It is AWESOME! Even to very last minute, Jesus calls.
2 Corinthians 5:20-21
We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin[b] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Revelation 22:12-21
“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have 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, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. 15 Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you[a] this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star.”
17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.
20 He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.
