Satan doesn’t want you to read
Revelation. Why? It’s because it is called “Revelation of Jesus Christ”. He doesn’t want you to know the
“revealed” Jesus Christ. Satan wants you to think that the book is confusing
and too hard to understand. That is another lie. And, he wants you to think it
is scary so you should be afraid to read it. That too is so far from the truth.
It is clear that Satan wants to keep you from the truth.
You are holding in your hands
Journal the End Times. This is the complete book of Revelation (King James
Version) that you can use as a combination book and journal. Think of it as a
regular journal that includes the Book of Revelation. Or, use it as a study
guide. When you read a verse or two and you have a thought, write it down. When
you hear a teacher or preacher talking about a verse or a section of
Revelations, write it down. When you see how a verse refers back to the Book of
Daniel or a verse where Jesus is speaking, mark that down. As you read
Revelations you will see how this is the culmination of everything else you’ve
read and experienced in both the Old and New Testaments.
I have been reading from the Book
of Revelation now for some time and I plan to continue to do so for as long as
I’m alive. The entire book is only 22 chapters. I make it a point to read one
chapter a day and when I’m through with chapter 22, I start again at chapter 1.
I am not an expert on Revelations. But I get something from God every time I
read it. I continually see how it “answers” and “compliments” other parts of
the Bible.
Immediately, at the outset of
this book, John says this in Chapter 1:3 -
3 Blessed is he that
readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things
which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
Do you want to be blessed? If so,
you got everything you need right now, right here in your hand. Read it. Study
it. Make notes and record your thoughts as God speaks to you.
Lord bless.

If you are reading the Book of
Revelation for the first time ( or again and again as I do), there is a very
good chance that you already know the Lord. But, I know that many, who do not
know Him see something about the end times, see the chaos, see wars and rumors
of wars, and want to know “what’s it all about”.
Reading Revelation will help answer that
question. But without knowing Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, you can
read the Book of Revelation and the entire Bible and it will mean nothing to
you.
The Bible states in 1 Corinthians 2:14 “But the natural man does not receive the
things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he
know them, because they are spiritually discerned”.
So, again
I say to you, if you are reading this and do not know the Lord; meaning that you’ve
not surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, let’s take care of that right now.
Today is the day of salvation. (Before I became a Christian, doing this sounded
crazy and “scary” but it really isn’t. It is sin that makes us think
surrendering to God is scary. Before Adam sinned, he and Eve walked with God
all the time! God made us, but we are born in sin because of what Adam did, and
now to be right with God again, we must be “born again” through Jesus Christ.
If you
are tired of trying to make things work on your own, living a life without
knowing your true purpose and why you are here, and are ready to accept Jesus
into your heart, you can do that now.
I know
that phrases like “accepting Jesus into your heart” may seem strange, but like
I said already, that’s all because you are not on the side of God. You are
looking and thinking in “sin”. You are not discerning things spiritually.
I know
what I am asking you to do next may seem strange to you. And I will add that
this is not “hocus pocus” or some kind of “formula” to get saved. This is
called “The Sinner’s Prayer”. I will also tell you that you may not feel
anything, or you might fall to your knees in tears after you say this. Either
way, after you’ve recited it, and you are sincere, then you are a child of God
and will live eternally with God. But just like when you were born naturally as
a baby, you are now a baby in Christ. It is so important to get into a Bible
believing church, to read your Bible daily so you will grow in God. Just
reciting this prayer; saying it and not living it will make you wonder whether
you were sincere or not when you did.
Here is
the Sinner’s Prayer. Read each sentence and then speak it out loud to God. He
will definitely hear you; He’s been waiting for you. As you say these words, be
sure to search your heart and know that you are being genuine and sincere.
Pray
this.
Dear Lord Jesus,
I know that I am a sinner, and
I ask for Your forgiveness.
I believe that You died for my sins
and rose from the dead.
I turn from my sins and
invite You to come into my heart
and into my life.
I want to trust You
and follow You
as my Lord and Savior.
Take control of the throne of my life.
Make me the kind of person
That You want me to be.
That’s
it. But now you must grow like I’ve mentioned. Tell someone right now what
you’ve done. If you don’t feel that you can share with a family member or
friend, call a pastor or a Christian who you know.
Jesus
told a story, called a “parable” in His day which explains why it is so
important for you to find a church that preaches and teaches the Word of God.
It is from the book of Matthew, Chapter 13, and goes like this.
