- The Great Revelation: Unfolding Eternity Today (4)
The disciples experienced Life with Our Savior and Messiah as no one else had before. They walked and talked with The King Himself. We clearly see in The Scriptures that neither “The Disciple Who Jesus Loved,” John, nor any of the other disciples completely grasped who they were really walking with during their time with Yeshua (Jesus)... not yet at least. Then Our Father and Yeshua sent The Holy Spirit and everything changed. In The Book of Revelation The Apostle John sees Yeshua, Jesus Christ Our Savior, in a magnificent way. John sees Him in His Glorified, Magnified, and Mighty State. Something to think about: This is how Our Messiah Has Always Looked, Glorified, Powerful...except when He gave that up to come down and save all of us. It is time to start seeing Jesus this way ourselves, because after all, this is really how He Has Always Been and probably Always Will Be...For Eternity.🔥
Here is another point to ponder on: When The Apostle John saw Our Messiah on The Island of Patmos during his exile, he saw Him in His Glorified and Transfigured State of Being. When this happened, I believe it is important to point out that John, who many believe to be Jesus’s Best Friend, did not embrace Him, jump for joy, or start talking to Messiah excessively. What did he do? He fell to his face in submission, stricken with fear and doom. Why was this? Our Savior’s Appearance? Or do you think John understood his own sinfulness and unworthiness to be in The Presence Of The True And Almighty Savior, Who In Fact, Is One With The Creator Of ALL, Our Father? I tend to believe it was the latter. But Yeshua Told John, and the rest of the disciples, they were His Friends. Our Savior Wasn’t There To Deal Judgement, But Mercy, Revelation, And Love For All. Glorified King JC told John to relax, things were gonna be ok, and He needed him to take some notes. Can you imagine? Wow. This should help:
“I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, saying, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “What you see, write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.” Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death. Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this. The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches.”
Revelation 1:10-20
In the above verses we do not see John act “chummy” with Our Savior, and John was quite possibly His best friend while He was “in the flesh.” What we do see is John struck with fear, filled with reverence, and stunned with awe. I have heard many christian Brothers and Sisters say they will start rejoicing when Yeshua, Jesus Christ Out Savior Comes Riding On The Clouds upon His Great Return, but if John’s reaction is any indication...we may all be frightened, stunned, and struck much more than imagined. After all, He Is A King Coming With Glory And Power And Might.
Only One deserves our reverence, fear, and respect... God Our Father, His Son, and His Spirit, who are One. No one and no thing is comparable. One day soon, this is a concept the whole world will understand and see for themselves. 🔥
Prayer:
Father God, You Are In A Category All Alone. You Alone Are Worthy of praise, fear, reverence, and exalting. You Alone Are Wondrous, Kind, and Good. Please Father help us to worship and honor You in the correct manner, the manner You deserve. We are but small and weak beings Father, have mercy on us when we “get out of line.” Your Greatness and Love cannot be comprehended. Please help us to understand Your Mysteries, giving us wisdom and helping us to please You. Bless You Father, Forever. In Your Son’s Mighty Name We Pray. Amen.
The Great Revelation, The Word of God:
“Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, “Whom are you seeking?” They answered Him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am He. ” And Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them. Now when He said to them, “I am He, ” they drew back and fell to the ground.”
John 18:4-6
“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge, But fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
Proverbs 1:7
“The fear of the LORD prolongs days, But the years of the wicked will be shortened.”
Proverbs 10:27
“The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.”
Psalms 19:9
