Some of us are waiting for something to happen before we get on board. We are watching the news, so we can see something happen so we can jump on board and start getting our life together. Such people are going to be sadly disappointed. Character is not built in a crisis, it is only revealed.
When the Sunday Law hits, we can’t jump from island to island trying to get away from it, it’s going to cover the world. The final events will be rapid. If you know it, and your character is not settled in the pure word of prophecy, you are lost—simple and plain. You are lost if you don’t accept the prophetic word as the foundation of your faith.
We know John as John the Revelator, we turn to the book of Revelation and we know it was written by John. But in every Bible, God made sure that we wouldn’t misunderstand this point. So read the title in the book of Revelation:
•
Revelation 1:1 “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.”
It’s the Revelation of Jesus Christ to John; the things that are written in the Revelation are a Revelation of Jesus Christ. He’s the one that revealed it, and it’s the Revelation of Jesus Christ, not from–the book of Revelation is about Him, it’s about Jesus and if we can’t see Jesus there, we are not seeing it aright. There’s no way we are comprehending with John. There is no way we are understanding Prophecy if we can’t see Jesus there. Paul put it this way:
2 Corinthians 4:3 “But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
If we can’t see it, we’re not on the right road; but there is time; there is a little window of time where we can make our calling and election sure. You can back up that winding road you’ve been on for years and get on the strait and narrow. There’s time, but it is a short time.
