Last Days

It’s good to know that Satan is becoming ancient, old, and his time is short. Revelation 12 is a detailed description of how God is going to deal with Satan. This is not something we are detached from, this is something that we can participate practically in right now. "And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they loved not their soul-...

A helpful word on how the Lord dealt with me in my understanding of the rapture. Let the Lord deal with you not in a dogmatic way or in a effort to debate. But rather seeking the Lord especially as we see him moving in these last days. Lord, you are sovereign, and you will handle everything according to your plan and your desires. Cause us to seek You rather than a another View. "Because you have...

We see in revelations 12 a Great woman, a Strong man -child and an Old serpent. This great woman is The Lord‘s bride. The Lord desires for us as his bride to produce something, to birth something. What needs to come out of the woman is simply Christ. This is the mark of strength and maturity. Sad to say all believers will not be ready and watchful when the Lord calls us, But in his perfect plan he...

"And a great sign was seen in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon underneath her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars; And she was with child, and she cried out, travailing in birth and being in pain to bring forth." (Revelation 12:1-2) Who is this great woman in revelation 12? Some say she is Mary others say she is Israel. The context and time of this vision makes those in...

Before we look at the second half of the book of revelation let us ask this question again. The very nature of the Lords return invokes a response from all of us. Especially if we truly believe we are in last days. Consider these verses: "For just as lightning flashing from one end of heaven shines to the other end of heaven, so will the Son of Man be in His day. But first He must suffer many thin...

One day the Morning Star will really come and dispel the darkness that is overtaking the world. Until then Peter reminds us that “we have the prophetic word made more firm, to which you do well to give heed as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts;" (2 Peter 1:19) We are waiting for His glorious appearance outwardly by enjoying His gloriou...

Do you realize what is included in the 7th Trumpet? Look at these verses: "And the seventh angel trumpeted; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign forever and ever. And the nations became angry, and Your wrath came, and the time came for the dead to be judged, and the time to give the reward to...

Who are these 2 witnesses? I’ll let you ponder that, but we do know their focus."And I will cause My two witnesses to prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth. These are the two olive trees and the two lampstands which stand before the Lord of the earth." (Revelation 11:3-4) These 2 are olive trees,lampstands (testimonials) reminiscent of Joshua and Zerubbable at the 2n...

"And there was given to me a reed like a rod, and someone said, Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship in it. And the court which is outside the temple cast out and do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles, and they will trample the holy city for forty-two months." (Revelation 11:1-2). John measures 3 things: Inner temple, golden altar, and the t...

Read Revelation 10! What good news we see in this vision. This is the 1st of 3 revelations between the 6th and 7th trumpets. All 3 have to do with hope for the eternal purpose and building of God. This is good news for all! Practically eat this word with John and allow this revelation to saturate your being letting Him take possession and Do it all today! "And (He) swore by Him who lives forever a...

The focus of this book is The Lamb, not locusts with scorpion tails, horses with lion heads, or Satan or the Antichrist. Look to Lamb and live! Repent! But after 6 trumpets are completed (half way through the last 3 1/2 years) this is the earth’s response to the Lamb. “And the rest of the men, who were not killed by these plagues, still did not repent of the works of their hands, so as not to wors...

"And I saw another angel flying in mid-heaven, having an eternal gospel to announce to those dwelling on the earth, even to every nation and tribe and tongue and people," (Revelation 14:6) This verse reminds us that God still has a purpose that will carry all the way through the tribulation, through the millennium and settle eternally in the new Jerusalem. That purpose is expressed as the eternal...

Christ at this point, before the seven trumpets start to blow, has done everything he has promised. His life bears witness that he has done it all for mankind! His God pleasing life is an incense that is mixed in with the fire on the altar before the throne of God and He hurls it on the earth. This Declares that he has done it all, and they are without excuse and must receive judgment. But look! S...

The silence in Revelation 8:1 indicates the solemness of its opening.. This seal initiates the end of God’s eternal purpose going out through the gospel to mankind. The 7 seals have revealed his plan to bring mankind unto himself through Christ. I hope you have seen these 7 seals In such a positive way. They display His care for the earth as he administrates his desire through Jesus Christ. To see...

In Revelation 7 we see a lot of saints gathered before the throne with the Lamb in their midst. This looks a like the throne scene in chapters 4 & 5 but includes an innumerable gathering of redeemed saints! This is the kind of scene we would expect to see after the rapture of believers. Regardless of our opinions of when the rapture takes place this passage displays an initial fulfillment of Gods...

Have you seen Jesus in chapters 1-6? I hope so. I do not know what you have seen before when you read the book of Revelation, but He is certainly the key to enjoying this book. I’ve heard many saints say they can’t understand Revelation so they hesitate to look at it. What if I told you this book reveals the present day Christ? It is a Revelation of the Coming Christ? You know what we see here in...

When we see this 6th seal we think of the birth pains of the earth and wonder how much more the Lord is going to tolerate before this great event takes place. The temptation is to start counting earthquakes and see if things are getting worse, and start watching the wars and rumors of wars etc. I’m not sure about all that but I do know that there’s no way of easing into this earthquake described i...

The Lamb opens the 5th seal. John sees and hears the cry of the martyrs throughout the centuries. “How much longer Lord? “Is their cry! These souls are no doubt the consequence of all the war, famine, and multiple deaths for the sake of the gospel. The Lamb wants us to hear this cry. To “follow the lamb wherever he goes" (Revelation 14:4) will cost something. We need to see that living a life acco...

In Revelation 6:1-8 note the four living creatures one at a time one of them call John to see a horse and it’s rider released upon the earth. The four living creatures represent God’s creation and purpose. Up until the ascension of Christ I believe their job was to fly around the throne of God Worship and represent His earnest hearts desire and eternal purpose towards God’s creation which is to po...

Seeing the Rider on the white horse as the gospel messes up our Prophecy charts. I encourage you to hang with me and let the Bible speak as we look at some verses regarding the gospel : "Those therefore who were scattered went throughout the land announcing the word as the gospel." (Acts 8:4) "Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel, that is, the proclamation of Jesus Christ...

"And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying like the sound of thunder, Come. And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he who sits on it had a bow; and a crown was given to him, and he went forth conquering and to conquer." (Revelation 6:1-2) Just remember and consider The ascended Christ in chapter 5. Recall the scroll with seven sea...

"And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence." Colossians 1:18 There is practical application to our daily lives when we see this lamb with seven horns and seven eyes in revelation 5. Do you realize that he is the firstborn of many brethren? This means the ascended Christ standing here is the first hu...

Our traditional thought is to view the 7sealed book as primarily containing negative things. God‘s wrath being poured out on the earth. However, the benefit of enjoying the book of revelation with a view of seeing Jesus Christ revealed enables us to appreciate why He is absent in chapter 4. We can realize that the unveiling of this major portion of God‘s eternal purpose requires the appearing of a...

"For the anxious watching of the creation eagerly awaits the revelation of the sons of God." (Romans 8:19). This verse comes to mind when I read Revelation chapter 4. Literally all creation is up on tippy toes anticipating The fulfillment of God’s eternal purpose. This is the atmosphere of chapter 4. There is such excitement and electricity in anticipation of God pouring out his good pleasure upon...

"Your kingdom come; Your will be done, as in heaven, so also on earth." (Matthew 6:10) Revelation chapter 2 and 3 reveals to us the desire of Christ for the the kingdom of heaven and the will of God to be on display through the churches. Now, how does this happen? Revelation chapter 4 and 5 Shows the perfect kingdom of heaven with God on the throne with his eternal will sealed up in a book in his...
