We now come to chapter 22, the last of the Book with the purpose of motivating men to make the right choice. Especially to whom John wrote who were debating. Fearful. Do I bow to say Caesar is God & forget about God? Or would you prefer eternity? Make something else your god? Or make God your God?  Make sure you don’t miss it. Prepare for it! Unless you plan to go to hell, so you better because it’s totally dark there just the Lake of Fire. What can we learn about bucket list? The main goal: No need to argue with things, start preparing for eternity. Welcoming & leading others by your life, testimony, ministry, & preaching. As you look forward to put the tears, sorrow, & pain of this sinful world behind forever.  Hope you can say this is the greatest love story you've ever read. God Loves You! Plans for you! And finally, the Bride (us) is prepared for our Creator. It took a long time. The Beautiful Book was written by a wonderful God. He loved His Son so much that many sons in the New Heaven & New Earth all bearing the image of His Son, who bears the image of the Farther. And in all eternity, enjoying & worshiping our God.  May this Book bless you! May the last Book of the Bible bless you most of all!

Chapter 21 describes the New Heaven & the New Earth. This is a very little description of this perfect eternal place that we all yearn for. It’s just the end of a love Story, “And they live happily ever after.” Period. It’s placed in our hearts. You & I already have this idea of heaven, but has been damaged by the great thinking that it would be spiritual. Then I saw a new heaven & new earth (21:1) sounds like Gen1:1, In the beginning, God created the heaven & the earth. The new here simply means perfectly Renovated. The most amazing of these 2 chapters is that God comes to be with us. Heaven comes to us. What is heaven? Heaven is a place where God is. Heaven is a realm. He is not a passive God. It's much more about a person than a place. It’s always about the Creator, Jesus. The world will come to an end. That’s true. The End is to be with a Person. Who is this world coming to? Is the better question. It’s coming back to its Creator who was separated. The end of the world is the beginning of eternal time with a Person, my Creator, my Lover, Jesus Christ. Make sure your name is in the Lambs Book of Life, inscribed on the heart of Jesus. May you say in your heart I want to be with this Amazing God in this amazing place for all eternity where my heart will be filled with the River of Life if you trust the one who conquered your sins on the cross.

In Rev. 21 & 22, the New Heaven & the New Earth is described. There's a yearning in every human heart for what we have lost, The Garden of Eden. Instinctively, men go everywhere looking for paradise. Making the tourist industry, a multi-billion-dollar industry. Satan destroyed the Garden of Eden, God will make one much more beautiful, The New Earth. God wins mightily! Including the so-called “agnostics”, unbelievers or atheists believe & yearn that when they die, they go somewhere some nice place. God made our soul Immortal. God made man in His image. God put eternity in man’s heart.  But there's a void of understanding about the New Heaven & the New Earth. In the church, it’s rarely being preached. In the Bible, discover the 3 dimensions of heaven. Heaven is more than we know! This is about a union. Christ came to unite everything together, to reconcile man to God. Man to man.  Earth is where we prepare for heaven. Heaven is the fulfillment of what we have prepared for, a place where you will reign/rule. Jesus was God incarnate in the flesh walking among men. I hope you spend your life being  faithful in doing things that you'll be faithful much in heaven & be full like a lake, filled with perfect Satisfaction forever & ever & ever!

The White Throne Judgment is mentioned in Rev 20, there are no other references in any part of the Bible. The judgment of everyone who died without Knowing & trusting Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour. To those who denied God's existence, the One who made & loves them. He asked them to believe in Him for thousands of years but insistently denied Him. Jesus Christ, the Great Creator of the World, the Son of Man, the Perfect Man will be sitting on the Great White Throne. White is holiness. He will judge by His Holy Standards. Are you pure white on that day? Have you received the righteousness of Christ? This is the 2nd resurrection. Dead, small, & great stand before God. All those who thought they were moral, religious will stand before God. Books were opened which accounts every single deed man has done. It's of Christ’s infinite wisdom, everything will be judged on that day. For the believers of Christ, all will be judged according to what Christ has done. Another book is opened, The Book of Life. Those names not found therein are thrown into the Lake of Fire. This is The  Final Judgment of God! Very precise. Most people didn’t want to know God even seeing His creation. If you have nothing to do with God, your wish will be granted in full measure. Everything God has seen, God will judge fairly.

Adam was given the role to tend the Garden of Eden but made wrong choices. Jesus, the second Adam, the Son of God, the Perfect Man, the Righteous Ruler will reign in the millennial kingdom... someone we never ever had, perfect righteous ruler. No selfishness. No War. The curse is removed. No sickness. Life will be much longer.  What's the point here? Even after having a perfect environment, the human heart if given a choice, still has rebellion & says, “Satan made me do it.” But Satan is bound. God wants us to know that there is rebellion in our hearts. We don’t blame anyone else. We just thank & praise God that we are saved. When we get to heaven, we just say for all eternity, Thank You, God, for Your amazing grace. Learn about the Millennial Kingdom. Believe the prophecies. It’s true! Don’t spiritualize everything away. TheBible is real. Hope this helps us to prepare for the Millennium, to be eternally thankful for The New heaven & New Earth. May you know God's amazing plans for you, so that you'll be totally satisfied forever & ever. God bless you!

We continue with the millennial kingdom, Christians have different views, it can be very divisive. May this encourage you to be humble, there are many things in the Bible we can agree to disagree with. Contend for the faith graciously & with humility. What are the 3 views on the Millennial Kingdom?  If you read the whole Bible, you'll realize this rule (Millennium) is very special to God. When God makes a promise, He keeps it. When Jesus came the 1st time, Jews rejected Him even if they saw His life. Jesus conquered the world by dying for us on the cross, He gained to sit on the Throne. That’s God’s way. God is Holy! God is Love! If you know one day you'll reign with Christ in the Millennial Kingdom & rule over people, preparation for life is needed. This life is not an intermission but a critical preparation for the Millennial Kingdom & eternity. 90% of Christians don’t know the end (Rev 20-22). So, prepare now for your position there. The Millennial Kingdom is not an academic subject. It’s so true! May this help us see the whole Beautiful Book & most of all the one true God.

Chapter 20 speaks of the millennial kingdom, this has caused more controversy in the church than any other topics. Though it's the last 3 chapters of the Bible, it's most critical to know what's the whole ending about. John sees an angel coming with the key to the bottomless pit & a massive chain. The Angel binds Satan & thrown to the bottomless pit so he cannot deceive the nations for a thousand years. Satan is TOTALLY helpless. All sources of power come from God. How does Satan deceive the nations? And we all have fallen into this trap. Then John sees people seated on the thrones & a group of resurrected martyrs who didn't worship the mark of the beast. The first resurrection, saints who trusted Christ resurrected & martyrs from the great tribulation are resurrected to be part of this ruling authority in the millennial kingdom. Those who didn't trust Christ were not resurrected yet. After 1,000 years Satan is released, manages to deceive a huge number of people like the sands of the sea. Who are these survivors? Satan gathers these forces for the last battle against the restored Jerusalem. Fire comes down from heaven. Satan is sent to the lake of fire to be tormented forever & ever with the Anti-Christ & false prophets.

In chapter 19, we see the 1st Hallelujah for the Great Babylon has fallen. The average man’s life is: Birth is painful. Life is hard. Death is certain. The present system since Adam’s fall. Another Hallelujah is noted for the marriage supper of the Lamb. When we trusted Christ, our sins became His at the cross & when we received Him we receive His righteousness. Will you be there at the banquet?? John saw Heaven opened, a white horse (symbol of the Conqueror) came out. The one sitting on it is called Faithful & True, Jesus is Faithful & True. His eyes are like a flame of fire. Many profess Christ but never received Him. His eyes of fire will prove impurity. They will be shocked!  We see the culmination. Christ won the war by shedding His own blood. AGAPE love of God not by violence. Satan is defeated totally. Hope you can see this Book as one amazing story about our wonderful God & His wonderful plan for you & me.

In chapter 15, John saw a sea of glass with fire. Fire speaks of judgment. He saw those who resisted worshiping the beast sang the song of liberation. And saw 7 angels in heaven, each was given a bowl by one of the 4 living creatures & smoke filled the place. Smoke speaks of God’s glory.  In chapter 16, a voice was heard telling the 7 angels to pour out the bowls of judgment, God's wrath. Discover what these plagues are. We read Revelation so that we'll be awake. Certainly, these will come. “Behold, I come like a thief. Blessed is he who stays awake.” Be aware! This tells us that man, reaches the point that they cannot repent, God showed warnings for thousands of years yet insists on rejecting God. God will wipe them out. In chapter 17, Babylon is revealed & identified as a city that controls the world economically powerful. The god of this world, as we come to the last days is the idol called ‘money.’ But money is not power, might is right (military power).  Chapter 18 is about the Fall of Babylon. God is telling us, Christians we're much sucked on this earth. The minds of sinful men lifting himself up. Babylonish ideas. There's only one Kingdom that will last. Be a part of God’s Kingdom, lay treasures in heaven, doing things in God's name that people may know Christ & experience AGAPE love, "Come into the Kingdom of God where there is true peace, joy, satisfaction, & true riches.”

In chapter 12, John sees a pregnant woman clothed with the sun, the moon underneath her feet, with a crown of 12 stars. Something to do with God’s people. The red great dragon appears with 7 heads 7 horns 7 crowns identifies as Satan. There's war in heaven. The devil wants to persecute God’s people greatly & must be prepared. Ultimately, Victory is on our side. There’s Hope. Endure In chapter 13, we can see 2 characters. The Anti-Christ & the False Prophet. What do all these signify? The Antichrist will blaspheme God & persecute Christians. This false prophet is given power by Satan to encourage the world to worship the Anti-Christ & do miracles. The false prophet's power is not in worship but in the mark of the beast, economic power.  If there's a Holy Trinity, there's an unholy trinity. In chapter 14 we see encouragement. We see The Lamb, standing in Mt. Zion with 144,000 of his people with the name of God written in their foreheads. 3 angels coming out proclaiming “Eternal Gospel,” Babylon is fallen.” A warning concerning the mark of the beast. Martyrdom is a mark of honor in the eyes of God, forever & ever. The Son of Man coming down on a white cloud. We can see the Mercy of God, still sending angels to warn people to repent. This is the Love of God. Be faithful to God. Don’t ever put allegiance to a false god. Only worship the one True God!

We see here the supernatural torments that our brain cannot conceptualize. How do you think a Holy God looks to all that? He says, ENOUGH! But thank God, He’ll replace it with something better. In chapter 9, The 5th trumpet is blown, the 1st woe is released on earth. John sees a star being given, a key to the bottomless pit. The 6th trumpet is blown, the release of 4 angels bound up in River Euphrates & horrendous release of 200M army troops. In chapter 10, we see an interesting break. John says a mighty angel came out from heaven having a rainbow about him & was holding a little scroll. I hope when you study Revelation, don't get in too much speculation of too many things, but get the idea of who God is. A merciful God! Despite people refusing to repent, for a long time, He refuses to give up, pleading to them to return to Him. As Christians we dream, even so, come quickly, Lord Jesus.

Revelation Chapter 6 shows the beginning of the massive end of the world destruction caused by the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse.  There's a war that we haven't seen before, many would die. We can see God allows martyrdom. It’s not that God can’t control it. God is giving Christians the opportunity to be martyrs, to die for our faith for sharing the gospel. Today, we fight for honor/sacrifice to be somebody, but the Bible tells us of another high accolade for the new earth like never before. The martyrs crown. In Chapter 8, the 7th seal is opened. The first 4 Trumpet judgments revealed into massive catastrophes. Unbelievable! God is getting rid of the evil world of people, as they keep hardening. Been given thousands of years to repent & acknowledge the Creator, but they won’t. So, God allows wars in the midst of it. God is not only removing evil people, He’s removing the messed-up world. Nothing is new in Revelation, we see it in the Bible. We always see it in life, it’s just the scale of it. It intensifies. Revelation is understandable, not complicated. It’s not a big mystery.

In chapters 4 & 5, we see one of the clearest descriptions by John of the almighty throne of God in Heaven. Brilliance and majesty. We are introduced to symbols, flames of fire representing the Holy Spirit, elders & living creatures. John describes Christ appearing. He saw in the right hand of the One sitting on the Throne, a scroll sealed with 7 seals. This scroll represents all programs to take place very soon to terminate sinful & degraded world as we know it & begin the eternal new heaven & new earth. “Who is worthy to open the scroll & to loose its seals?” Many thought that God would conquer the world (like every conqueror) with violence/power but God conquered this evil world we live in with LOVE. The Lion of the tribe of Judah conquered this world by being a Lamb for this sinful world. He showed a New Way. Wow! This conqueror conquered by ransoming People. By dying for people & these people will be part of His kingdom & will reign with Him. Now, we see who's to be honored forever & ever? God the Father & God the Son.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega.” (1:8) Jesus is the beginning & the end. This letter opened with encouragement. When John, the Beloved saw the vision, he saw Jesus in His glory, he falls at His feet. This is to help persecuted Christian realize that this is not the Jesus in the manger anymore. The Jesus on the cross is over. The carpenter’s son is over. This is the JESUS. His glory is like the shining of the sun. Christ walks in the midst of the church. Discover more beautiful & great truths on how God Sees Us. How are you in the eyes of the wise & HolyGod who will rule for all eternity? How are you preparing for the new earth? God bless you!

Revelation means apocalypse in Greek. The Book of Revelation ties up everything the Old Testament says about the end of the World & unveils what the eternal world would look like. This book is considered a mystery. For many Christians, it's the most difficult to read or even fear reading it through. This is a circuit letter sent to the 7 churches having problems respectively, helping them get right. Revelation is the most important book. It completes the Holy Bible. Gives us the right view that JESUS is KING. He rules over an eternal Kingdom where you & I will be citizens there. God wins in the end. Hope this book helps us to get right in many counts & will not only prepare us for the persecution  we may face but prepare us to live right now for the New Earth that you & I will live in for all Eternity. Are you ready? Are you preparing? May Revelation bless you!

Jude wrote this letter much later after Christ’s resurrection. Intended to Jewish believers, 2nd generation Christians, the wonderful faith & amazing salvation they have in Christ. But Jude felt & sensed a crisis in churches, to “contend for the faith”. This Book is about behavior. Today, we judge people by their creed. But look at their behavior & know if they have the seed of Christ mentioned in 1 John. Please don’t neglect the Book of Jude as it’s necessary for the last days. Be careful. Christ’s name is shamed by wicked men, contaminating churches & people’s minds that Christians got a license to sin - hyper grace, you’re saved, no need to confess sins, sins are settled. Men are shaming God.  May God help you to strenuously fight to preserve this simple faith & the name of God, once for all. God bless you!

2nd & 3rd John were written to particular individuals regarding their behavior in dealing with churches & the travelling teachers, for many deceivers have gone out. Christians were travelling around the Roman empire. John wrote this 60 yrs after the resurrection of Christ, as an elder in truth & love, a perfect balance like the love & mercy of God. This reflects 2 types of churches we have these days, churches who accept anybody as long as they're "Christians" bringing in all kinds of doctrines. The true simple Gospel is lost. Another group of churches that exists today, just a one man-hero. Everybody else is not good enough, every other church has a problem, except him.   What is the lesson? Be Careful, don't welcome those who come to shame God's name & to destroy God's work. We have a God of balance, perfect holiness & perfect love. That's what we should be too. May God grant us this simple balance! When people don't read these letters they have churches like these. May we see our selves in the word of God. All Holy, all loving.
