The book of Revelation

The book of Revelation- written to scare us or to give hope?

As my colleague started to ask questions about the end time of the earth I realised that I did not know enough myself to answer these questions. Son on my day off I told God I would start to study Revelation and asked Him to lead me so I would understand what I was reading.

My study bible has an overview of the book and I thought it would be helpful to read it to understand the backround and circumstances better! When I came to the part “ Jesus in Revelation” it hit me!

JESUS! The Beginning and the End, the King of kings, Lord of lords, will be given all authority to judge the world! But here am I, little person on the earth, able to communicate and to have a real relationship with Him, because He gave up His status for a while and died on the cross and rose again because He loves me so!

I started to cry as it sank deep into my heart. And His familiar voice asked me:” Why are you crying?” And I told my father in heaven exactly what I mentioned above. He asked me to write it down and here it is!

It is really all about what Jesus has done for us! WOW!

I am just blown away by the thought that this king is also my best friend and the lover of my soul! How can I hold back and not thank Him and worship Him for His gift?! Now I will start to study this amazing book and will keep you updated about what I learn!

The funny thing is that Bobbie Houston and Joseph Prince spoke about Revelation at Hillsong Conference last week. God is making sure I understand even better what I read in His word and I love it! What an awesome God we serve!

Let Him satisfy you with long life! Psalms 91,10 AMEN
