Letters From The End of The World

Revelation 1:9-20

There are seasons where God strips away life as we know it to get us alone with Him because He has more to say to us. Even when He leads me into a valley I can’t see thru. John uses the words – Patience endurance (NLT), describing a person who counted the cost and decided to remain faithful no matter what the outcome was!

Unveiling The Future

September 18, 2019 • Jeff Cramer

When we know the central theme of Revelation is the Unveiling of Jesus Christ He brings joy/hope to those that will accept it to those that will read it / hear it / & keep it (v.3). Revelation is a prophecy (it makes specific predicts of the future); And when God talks about the future he speaks with certainty & He’s NOT guessing!

Come And See, Go And Tell

Last week I covered the intro to the book of Revelation and explained the flow (past / present / future) with some different ways it’s been interpreted. I shared that we’ll approach this book in a literal sense looking toward the future as prophetic events are unfolded. I should add the Futuristic approach is held by a vast majority of scholars and even Church fathers. The Apostle John writes 65-years after the death of Christ (A.D. 95). John was imprisoned on the Island of Patmos where he had been sent to die. This was after authorities tried to kill him by boiling him in oil, but it didn’t work. Yet through these harsh experiences John didn’t get bitter it actually created a deeper love for people.

Where's The Love?

Ephesus was a church that had been faithful for 35+ years (Ephesians to Revelation). And now Jesus is speaking to this church personally by telling the pastors what to say to the congregation. Ephesus was as a city known for banking, trade, & religion. With a population of 250,000 people. Ephesus held one of the seven wonders of the ancient world “The Temple of Diana” – (fertility goddess). The temple was beautiful display of marble-construction. The point is, Ephesus was a culturally rich city and the church refused to compromise in it! However, the Christians lost their FIRE as they drifted from a love for Christ.
