Revelation 1:19; Write the Things(2)
Revelation 1:19 Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter;
The writing of John was not man’s writing, not a concoction of man’s imagination but as Peter puts in 2 Peter 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
This writing of John was not John speaking, but God speaking. An authoritative declaration of the Almighty God concerning what will befall this earth and all its inhabitants. As such, we are to pay close attention to its message. Just as the first coming of Christ was prophesied a thousand years before Saviour of the world will be born of the tribe of Judah, and of the house of David and in Bethlehem, in the womb of a virgin, what is significant was that these prophesies were fulfilled to the minutest detail. Therefore, the prophecies concerning the Second Coming will likewise be fulfilled!
As such, it behooves us to pay close attention to what John has seen and what is the state of the church and what will be the events that culminate to the end of the world. Why should we be interested? 2 Peter 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
May the light of God’s Word shine in our hearts that we may have our lamps trimmed and bright for Christ’s return. Amen.
