I have actually just begun a study of Revelation in BSF here in Malaysia, and I am both looking forward to it and a little scared because I've never understood Revelation at all in my past readings. Thanks for these encouragements. They were particularly timely for me!

Our Savior lives and is coming back to set things right. I also felt Jesus's stern rebukes to the 7 churches was so important.

No work will make us good enough, our fallen nature will always fail us in this world. I see how much Jesus needs to be our all. He is the key. John knew this and was able to rest in Him alone. That's freedom in Christ. : )Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13105571098810204461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8642167378367548721.post-75122366617313543942016-02-16T10:30:34.148-08:002016-02-16T10:30:34.148-08:00I barely touched on the book here and agree with y...I barely touched on the book here and agree with you that there is so much packed into it! <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by Ann!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13105571098810204461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8642167378367548721.post-48003678407154115402016-02-16T10:27:59.098-08:002016-02-16T10:27:59.098-08:00Thanks Christina!

I loved the quote by Oswald Chambers and had to include it in my post. "If we are ever going to understand the Book of Revelation we have to remember that it gives the programme of God, not the guess of a man." <br /><br />If we are distracted by speculation and sensationalism we are only being robbed of the beauty of Christ in Revelation.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by! : )Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13105571098810204461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8642167378367548721.post-49175118383616108832016-02-16T10:22:35.665-08:002016-02-16T10:22:35.665-08:00Thanks for sharing Bethany!

OR if Jesus comes into our world before I'm in Heaven ... which would be a surprise since I might be there very soon ... as I said, I want to know more. AND I would like to be on the worshiping/warfare of Jesus when heading to our world. Always makes me think and look of Him.

It is also the only book in which a blessing is promised from reading and applying its message.

I have heard too much interpretation that is sensational and it gains followers and money. And, some people have so much pride that when they preach their version of interpretation, they consider their's is the right one and they don't say "it could be" or "it might be". The book explains a lot of the imagery in the text with a little bit of observation and plain reading. I also believe it was relevant then and it's relevant today.
