Finally we have come to the end of our study of Revelations. I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have. I didn't anticipate it lasting this long but to try to get the main points across it was necessary. May God receive all the glory!
Revelation 22:17-21
17 The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.
18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.
In verse 17 we see the Holy Spirit and the church(bride) say "come". We know it is the desire of the Holy Spirit to draw man to Christ and it should be the desire of the church also. Then the verse says "let the one who hears say, "come". Oh brothers and sister we must be in prayer for those who have not accepted Christ to have the desire to ask HIM to come into their lives! Then we are reminded in this verse that Jesus is the living water and it is free to anyone who asks...praise the Lord!
In verse 18 we see a important warning...we are told not to add to these prophecy of this book or the one who does will receive the plagues described in this book! Then in verse 19 we are told if anyone takes away from this book God will take away that ones share of heaven! Wow....a stern warning!
Then in verse 20 we are told Jesus who testifies to the Words of this book says...."Surely I am coming soon." Amen and praise the Lord!!!!!!!! And verse 21 says the grace of the Lord is with all.
Wow what a book and what promises are held in it. Thank God today for sending His Son to die for you and for me so that we may live eternally in heaven if we accept that free gift.....Jesus!
