Revelation
Chapter 22 Verse 7 (God's WordTM)
Home New American Standard Bible New International Version New King James Version Español Deutsch
7I'm coming soon! Blessed is the one who follows the words of the prophecy in this book."
I'M
COMING SOON!
The Lord Himself seems to step forward at this point to confirm the
urgency with which the Revelation (visions - Habakkuk
2:1-3) will take place and complete (2
Peter 3:1-3-9-13). Recall that we have heard this before in the
discussion with the Philadelphian church (Revelation
3:7-13). They were advised to hold on even through the hour of
testing (Revelation 3:10). Those who held
on, the victors, get to live in the new Jerusalem (Revelation 3:12). Where have we heard about
this new Jerusalem (Revelation
21:1-22:5)?BLESSED
is
the one who FOLLOWS the WORDS of the PROPHECHY
IN THIS BOOK."
"BLESSED" means highly favored to the point of contented happiness.
That truly is a BLESSING in today's evil world. Interestingly, many
Christians don't even attempt to read the Revelation because they feel
it is too difficult to understand. But this verse implies that it can
be understood. I encourage you if you are confused by these WORDS in
the Revelation to reread and reread this book. Through a sincere desire
to understand the Revelation, the Holy Spirit will lead you (John
16:12-13-15). Be aware, however, that it is the WORDS found in the Revelation itself that must be FOLLOWED. DO NOT count on the explanatory words this author has placed on this website. They are for guidance ONLY. It is the WORD exclusively in the Revelation (verse 18) to be FOLLOWED.
