Sermon Notes
God wants us to understand Bible prophecy! Did you know the word revelation means, “unveiling.” God does not give us Bible prophecy to scare us, but to prepare us. The primary objective of Revelation is not to reveal Antichrist, but Jesus Christ. Studying the Book of Revelation unlocks the mystery of history. Studying the Book of Revelation brings sense to our suffering. We learn about the future to motivate us to live right in the present.
Application
“The essence of prophecy is to give a clear witness for Jesus.” Bible prophecy is not given to inflate our brains, but to enlarge our hearts. Revelation is the only book of the Bible with a “built-in” blessing attached.
- Revelation reveals the events of the Last Days are closely linked together.
- Revelation is from Jesus Christ revealing Himself to us.
- Revelation gives us the only actual description of Jesus in the Bible.
- Revelation tells us not to be afraid!
When you fear God, you fear nothing else; whereas, if you do not fear God, you fear everything else.
