THE CERTAINTY OF THE IMMINENT CATCHING AWAY OF THE DEAD IN CHRIST AND LIVING SAINTS BY CHRIST .
Beloved, glory to God for the Spirit of completion. As God brought us to the concluding part of the book of Revelation in chapter twenty two.
The revelation of our glorified Lord, which He gave to apostle John to show to all churches of all ages and that includes you.
I have no doubt you have a perfect understanding of churches. I am not referring to your denomination, but to you in particular.
You are the church our Lord sent John to. Because He purchased you with His blood.
Acts 20:28 Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.
Now listen , the entire information in the book of Revelation is exclusively for you, so that your seat among the twenty four elders around the throne of God, shall not elude you.
It shall not in Jesus name. Listen to what our Lord is saying to you in particular.
Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
Listen to some of the things revealed from the beginning of the book.
In chapters four and five, He talks about the glories of heaven.
And then the great tribulation from chapters six to nineteen.
The binding and throwing into the lake of fire of the devil and the white throne judgement, in chapter twenty.
The revelation of the new Jerusalem in chapter twenty one.
As we now come to the concluding part of the description and the dimension of that glorious city, our Lord is saying to you in particular, that these messages are sent to the churches and that includes you.
This becomes necessary for you, because, the good Lord shall help you in particular to be a partaker of this discovery in Jesus name. Listen to it again.
Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.
There is something you discover about the angel that showed all these revelations to John.
He was faithful to the core. He revealed everything as they were shown to him. In deed, he was a faithful servant as he told John.
Revelation 22:8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. 22:9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
Now that God has given you understanding of the book of Revelation.
You must faithfully pass it on to others in your world of influence and even in your denomination, to help them prepare for the dawning rapture and avoid the great tribulation. Listen to what God says about you.
1 Corinthians 4:1 Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. 4:2 Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
Please don’t keep this revelation of what is set to happen very soon to yourself alone. If you do. The Bible says, you do not well.
2 Kings 7:9 Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come upon us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king’s household.
Go and tell others about the imminent rapture. About the certainty of the great tribulation. Tell them the severity of sufferings awaiting anyone and everyone that misses the rapture and receive the mark of the Antichrist.
All these things are set to happen very shortly. May the Lord depend on you.
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: 1:2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
Be assured that, there is a cause why the good Lord has placed this eternity defining information at your disposal at this perilous time.
1 Samuel 17:29 And David said, What have I now done? Is there not a cause?
The angel that revealed the entire revelations to apostle John referred to himself as fellow servant. You are also a servant to Christ.
Philippians 1:1 Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons:
That angel revealed the entirety of the the information to John faithfully.
Those that were encouraging and those that were fearful.
You must do same. Tell the people everything. The joyful ones about heaven.
Also the fearful ones about the great tribulations and the lake of fire , the doom of every one that reject the mercies of God.
Listen all believers, including you are servant to Christ, just like that angel.
2 Peter 1:1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
Romans 1:1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God,
Jude 1:1 Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called:
Colossians 4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
Ephesians 6:6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
You see the believers of old see themselves as servants to Christ, just like that angel saw himself.
Revelation 22:8 And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. 22:9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
As the servant of Christ, you have to teach the entirety of the scriptures. Not just the convenient ones but the inconvenient ones too.
May God help you to do His will from your heart faithfully as that angel and Bible days believers in Jesus name.
Ephesians 6:6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
As we look at the concluding part of this chapter, it reveals the imminent return of Christ.
Revelation 22:10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
Revelation 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
Listen to the remaining verses as we conclude.
Revelation 22:10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 22:21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Firstly we consider the proclamations of Christ second coming.
Revelation 22:10 And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
The apostle was told not to seal the revelation. This is because the fulfilment is going to happen shortly.
However, when Daniel received such revelation like this. He was told to seal it up, because the fulfilment is still far ahead.
Daniel 8:26 And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.
Daniel 10:14 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days.
Daniel 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
As for this information that John received. He was told not to seal it.
So that the churches would have access to it and adequately prepare, because it is imminent and going to happen shortly.
This prophecies are to serve as warning to us to escape the fierce Judgement that awaits all the people that are rejecting the mercies of the Lord through the substantial sacrifice of Christ our Lord.
I am persuaded you are not one of them.
Revelation 22:11 He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
This information is to help you repent and do all the necessary things that shall make you fall into categories of the wise virgins.
Buy everything that is to be bought now. So that you shall not be buying with your blood during the great tribulation.
This shall not be your portion in Jesus name.
Matthew 25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
Have you done your restitutions? Are you doing your business biblically? Are you living with your rightful spouse or you are presently living in daily adultery with the unlawful remarried spouse?
Is your name still in the book of life? Are you free from secret sins, compromise, worldliness? Are you overcoming sin, satan, flesh world etc? Should the trumpet sound now, are you ready?
Check up. Don’t be presumptuous.
May the Lord help you in particular to be wise unto salvation in Jesus name.
2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
Now it is utter foolishness to be praying for forgiveness of sins for the person that has died.
It will be more than foolishness for anyone like you, who have known so much about the events of last days to take the mark of Antichrist during the certain to happen great tribulation.
Now is the time to make amends. The good Lord shall help you in particular in Jesus name.
Ecclesiastes 11:3 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
Where the tree falleth, there it shall be. If anyone dies in righteousness, such shall go to heaven.
But if the same die in unrighteousnes. The person goes to hell.
Praying for such a person after death is foolishness. Don’t join them again.
You too have all the time to prepare and be ready for the dawning rapture.
If you don’t, it is up to you. But I am persuaded you will prepare and God shall help you and you shall be part of the raptured saints in Jesus name.
Listen to why the revelation was not sealed. Listen to what our Lord, the truth personified said.
Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
He is coming and it might be sooner than you think Even the apostles In Bible days also sound the same warning over and over.
1 Peter 4:7 But the end of all things is at hand: be ye therefore sober, and watch unto prayer.
Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
Revelation 1:7 Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
Revelation 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
James 5:8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
All these warnings are to assure you that the coming of our Lord is certain and imminent.
Everyone shall receive either a crown or a curse. Either they go to heaven or to hell. It is either you receive a reward or recompense or regret.
The rewards of the righteous shall be in heaven, while that of the unrighteous shall be in hell.
However, the rewards of the righteous shall vary and be dependent on their joyful and faithful labor for Christ.
Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
So keep preparing for His coming.
Romans 13:12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. 13:13 Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
Job 17:9 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
Our Lord is the Alpha and Omega.
Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Revelation 1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Revelation 1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
Revelation 21:6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
Alpha is the beginning and the ending of all things.
He is the Lord of time and eternity.
He has all the attributes of God..
He is the full manifestation of God in the flesh.
He is the Alpha and Omega of the entire Bible.
Read the entirety of the scriptures from Genesis to Revelation, everything talks about Jesus our Lord.
He is the beginning and the end of our Salvation. He is the author and finisher of our Faith.
In deed without contradiction. He is divine. He has been from eternity past , He is there in eternity present and shall be there in eternity future.
Revelation 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Secondly, we consider the. preparations for Christ second coming.
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
As you look at verse fourteen, it talks about blessings of the saints. We are blessed with divers grace, salvation of our souls.
We are made pure and receive both the power and gifts of the blessed Holy Spirit.
We receive the gift of getting married, having children, building houses. He also gives us good health and divers fortunes.
But then beloved the greatest gift and blessing is to make heaven and have access to the tree of life. Listen to it again.
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
Have you received anything from the Lord, thank Him for them. But the greatest you must determinedly aspire, is living with Him in eternity. It shall not elude you and me in Jesus name.
You will recount that Adam and Eve lost the privilege of tree of life on earth. You shall not miss it in eternity in Jesus name.
But then, how will this great blessing be yours?
The answer is doing the commandments. Not just knowing them. Not just teaching them. Not just memorizing them. It is doing the commandments.
Revelation 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.Psalms 119:1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. 119:2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.
Proverbs 8:32 Now therefore hearken unto me, O ye children:
for blessed are they that keep my ways.
Luke 11:28 But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.
When the Lord convicts of sin and you repent. That is the way to be blessed.
Listen to some of the things the Lord revealed to us, since we began the study of the book of Revelation.
Have you been correcting your life according to the revelation. It is by doing this, that you can be blessed.
You are living with second spouse and you say you are waiting for the coming of the Lord. You are deceiving yourself.
You still give bribe and receive bribe . You still live in worldliness. You have restitutions to do, you have not done them. You can never be blessed, because you are living in disobedience.
I plead with you to be wise and repent. Remember, only those who do His commandments shall have access to heaven and the tree of life.
Revelation 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
Revelation 22:7 Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
Listen to all the scriptures we read, the blessedness are for the people inside the church that are keeping the commandments of the Lord.
Where do you stand. You need not get to eternity before you know where you belong to. If you are not keeping the commandments of the Lord, you are not part of the twenty four elders.
We will look for you in heaven and with pains in our hearts, you shall be conspicuously missing.
But like the prodigal son, you can retreat your steps and repent.
You can repent like David after his adulterous life with Bathsheba.
Today is the time to do it. Tomorrow might be too late.
2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Proverbs 28:13 He that covereth his sins shall not prosper:
but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.
Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord:
though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;
though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Isaiah 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
2 Corinthians 6:2. (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
To have access to the tree of life you must be biblically saved and free from all sins. You also must have pure heart.
Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Only those that are saved and purified shall have part on this eternal blessedness. I pray you too shall be one of us in Jesus name.
But then, be very sincere to look at this. Should you have anything on the following in your life, do something immediately, because the consequences are eternal.
Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Do you make lie? Are you a liar.? Repent now and do your restitutions.
1 John 2:28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
You are doing and keeping the commandments of God. This alone shall guarantee that you shall see Him, when He comes.
Don’t allow the merchandise motivational speakers who wants your money and not your soul deceive you.
No unrighteous person shall get to heaven.
1 Corinthians 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
What must you do now, if you discover sin in your life?
Acts 17:30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
1 John 3:1 Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 3:2 Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. 3:3 And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
If you really want to be part of the rapture, then be purified as He is pure.
Psalms 119:1 Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. 119:2 Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. 119:3 They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
Do you see this commandment In verse three. They do no iniquity in the secret or public.
Don’t ever forget this, if you want to live with God in heaven.
Luke 12:37 Blessed are those servants, whom the lord when he cometh shall find watching: verily I say unto you, that he shall gird himself, and make them to sit down to meat, and will come forth and serve them. 12:38 And if he shall come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find them so, blessed are those servants.
You must be watchful. Don’t forget the devil goes about looking for who to devour. So for you to be blessed, be watchful.
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
How do you know you are really preparing for the dawning rapture?
1 John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. 2:4 He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 2:5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.
Are you keeping the word of God? If you are not, then the Bible says you are a liar.
Don’t forget. If you don’t want to be a liar , keep His commandments.
Revelation 2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
Listen to what the blessed Holy Spirit says, if you shall have access to the tree of life.
You have understanding of the church. Not your denomination, you are the church. The Lord shall give you ears to hear in Jesus name.
Listen to this again. This issue is so important, so repetition is necessary.
You must not fall into the categories of these people .
Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
You only tell lies to your husband, to your wife, you lied to your employer or to your pastor.
Liars shall go to hell. Quickly go and do restitutions.
Revelation 21:27 And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
Listen to the Lord is given you special invitation to correct your ways and be biblically saved. The Lord is calling you for cleansing.
Revelation 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star. 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.
Isaiah 55:1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 55:2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. 55:3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
Isaiah 55:6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 55:7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
John 4:10 Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
John 4:14 But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
Matthew 11:28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
If you will sincerely come for biblical salvation or cleansing. He will not push you away.
John 6:37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
Now is the time to come. So that when the trumpet sound, you shall be ready in Jesus name.
Lastly, we look at the preservation of the complete scriptural Canon.
Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Beloved, as we conclude this final part of the book of Revelation. We have had thirty nine studies.
We have covered by the grace of God the entirety of the Bible.
We have touched virtually the twenty two doctrines of the Bible.
It does not matter whether, what the blessed Holy Spirit taught us are not taught in your assembly.
You have known the truth and you shall have no excuse before God that you don’t know it.
Romans 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
You have no excuse again.
Not only that. You can not afford to teach your family or anyone in your world of influence, different thing apart from what the blessed Holy Spirit has taught you as we go through the book of Revelation from chapter to chapters.
I want you to listen to the serious consequences of doing contrary to what the Lord has exposed you to as we conclude.
Listen to it again. It is a very frightful words with serious consequences.
Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Check the verse eighteen. It is a frightful word.
Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Check verse nineteen. I tremble whenever I read it.

Romans 16:17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 16:18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2:2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 2:3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.

I can not exhaust them. But then we have learnt much. You can not pretend you don’t know these things.
You must pass them on to those in your world of influence and in your denomination.
As a pastor you can not afford to teach your congregations different things from this.
Listen to the consequences of doing other wise.
Revelation 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
The Bible says you have no right to add or subtract from the word of God.
The consequence is hell fire.

Deuteronomy 12:32 What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
Jeremiah 26:2 Thus saith the Lord; Stand in the court of the Lord’s house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the Lord’s house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word:
People might threaten you for doing so, but the Lord sent us to preach the total Bible.
You will not be the first person. Listen to this.
Jeremiah 26:12 Then spake Jeremiah unto all the princes and to all the people, saying, The LORD sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard. 26:13 Therefore now amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God; and the LORD will repent him of the evil that he hath pronounced against you. 26:14 As for me, behold, I am in your hand: do with me as seemeth good and meet unto you. 26:15 But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to death, ye shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants thereof: for of a truth the LORD hath sent me unto you to speak all these words in your ears.
You must not be moved or bend.

he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
Add thou not unto his words,
lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.

Jesus commanded us to teach the total Bible.
Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
God’s curse is on anyone preaching it before, but now has changed for any reason.

Ephesians 1:8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence; 1:9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

Listen to the Lord reassure us again that He is coming soon.
Revelation 22:20 He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. 22:21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.
Will you be able to say even so come Lord Jesus.
His grace is sufficient for you.
Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 2:14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.
With His g race in your life. Then your seat shall be secured among the twenty four elders around the throne, that apostle John saw. It shall be so in Jesus name.
Revelation 4:4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.
