Revelation 22
6 ¶ Then he said to me,
"These words are faithful and true." And the Lord God of the
holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly
take place.
Important Point #1: Jesus is coming
quickly!
7 "Behold, I am coming
quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this
book."
8 Now I, John, saw and heard
these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet
of the angel who showed me these things.
9 Then he said to me,
"See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant,
and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this
book. Worship God."
Important Point #2: Worship God!
10 And he said to me,
"Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at
hand.
11 "He who is unjust,
let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is
righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still."
12 "And behold, I am
coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according
to his work.
13 "I am the Alpha and
the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the
Last."
14 Blessed are those
who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and
may enter through the gates into the city.
Important Point #3: Keep His
Commandments!
15 But outside are
dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and
whoever loves and practices a lie.
16 "I, Jesus, have sent
My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the
Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star."
Important Point #4: Jesus is building the Church as His Bride.
17 And the Spirit and the
bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" And
let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life
freely.
Important Point #5: The message is always, “Come to Jesus”!
18 For I testify to everyone
who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these
things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;
19 and if anyone takes away
from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from
the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are
written in this book.
Important Point #6: Don’t change one thing in the Bible.
20 ¶ He who testifies to
these things says, "Surely I am coming quickly." Amen. Even so, come,
Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of our Lord
Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Important Point #7: You can always depend on the grace of God.
