APOCALYPSE The revelations of St. John; an exposition of the truth of God which is revealed by Christ, who Himself is the Truth. The Apocalypses goes across the entire of human experience and beyond; the revelations of events to occur at the end of time and the hope of a future salvation. It is a literature of hope and consolation. What is at present an age of suffering will be transformed into the joys of paradise; a land dominated by the devil will become a world rewarded with the Glory of God! No doubt, we are in those times that the Bible talks about! “Another horse appeared, this one red. Its rider was off to take peace from the earth, setting people at each other's throats, killing one another”... Revelations 6: 4 (THE MESSAGE). “And the voice said to the sixth angel who held the trumpet, "Release the four angels who are bound at the great Euphrates River. Then the four angels who had been prepared for this hour and day and month and year were turned loose to kill one-third of all the people on earth”. Revelations 9:14&15 (NLT). Research confirms that the river Euphrates flows through Iraq, which is in the Middle East. There are lots of conflicts around Iraq in these last days. No twenty-four hours go freely without the news media transmitting flashes of bombings and slaughters there. These have overtime duplicated in different regions of the world, Nigeria inclusive. These bloods will no longer be spilled when all prophesies are fulfilled. Bible Prophesies explain the accuracy of God’s message, there is guarantee that none of them is mere babble. They will no doubt manifest in reality. The Word of the Lord came to the Prophet Ezekiel: "Son of man, the house of Israel is saying, 'The vision he {Ezekiel} sees is for many years from now, and he prophesies about the distant future. "Therefore say to them, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: None of my words will be delayed any longer; whatever I say will be fulfilled, declares the Sovereign Lord." Ezekiel 12:27&28 (NIV) The gospel of St. Mark chapter thirteen records the prediction of Christ’s second coming- the rapture to take away true followers of God, but this will be only after the sufferings and conflicts we see in our days. Surely, no one has God’s permission to predict when exactly this phase we experience will end! Then will be the harvest of judgment- a contrast to the harvest of souls commanded by Jesus. …“The harvest is ripe and waiting... for it is full to overflowing with the wickedness of these men. For the Day of the Lord is near, in the Valley of Judgment" Joel 3:13&14 (TLB) The same three and a half years of Jesus’ ministry on earth will be duplicated by the satanic trinity- satan, the anti-Christ and the false prophet to dominate the earth and torment ‘the church’ that will be left behind unto death - this will be the great tribulation. After this will be the New Jerusalem descending from Heaven – the millennial reign. “Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the old heaven and the old earth had disappeared… I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, "Look, God's home is now among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them” Revelations 21:1-3 (NLT) Also, those who have been through the great trial and prevailed with the price of their lives will wash their robes white again in the blood of the Lamb. They will not hunger or thirst again because the Lamb will be their shepherd and guide them to the springs of life and God will wipe away all tears from their eyes. “Everyone who conquers will inherit all these blessings, and I will be his God and he will be my son” Revelations 21:7 (TLB). Have you heard what The LORD has done? Who can reveal the true meaning of what God has prepared? There is none in Heaven, on earth or under the earth, worthy to reveal the true meaning of what God has prepared. Behold, The Lamb! Behold, the throne of Heaven, on it is the scroll sealed with seven seals. ONLY The Lamb on the throne of Heaven is worthy to break and open the seven seals of the scroll. The secrets of all things are protected in God’s hands; all that is to life, deliverance and breakthrough are detailed in that scroll. Because Christ lives, this beloved of God has hope for life! There is a tomorrow! Only the love of Christ, who gave His life for our REST, can stop these series of pain, worthless wages, hunger, misery and injustice- the fruits of selfishness that we experience. All evil shall be defeated forever. Death will not have the last word, for God’s victory over evil is the word of our faith! “And I saw a great white throne and the one sitting on it… I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God's throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books… Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death. And anyone whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire” Revelations 20:11-15 (NLT). Secrets will be opened; it is only you that have Jesus will your records be blank! "Look, I am coming soon! Blessed are those who obey the words of prophecy written in this book." Revelations 22:7 (TLB). Let the dew of Heaven fall upon my thirsty soul. Let the dew of Heaven fall on me. Blessed Holy Spirit, come and take control. Let the dew of Heaven fall on me … O Lamb of God! Impact these souls with your truth! …“Worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy”. Revelations 19:10 (ESV) ayanfeLAMPROS.
