When the Holy City descends onto the earth from heaven and the unrighteous dead are resurrected, there will be a short period when every person who has ever lived will be alive. This is the context of today’s opening verse.
Read MoreWe are to come early and often to the foot of the cross, in utter humility, to present our weaknesses to Him in exchange for His strength.
Read MoreThe Lord Jesus is assuring John (and each of us) that He sees all that is happening and will one day soon set everything aright. It is only because of Him that a glorious, never-ending future is available to each of us.
Read MoreThe Bible clearly teaches that intense persecution of God’s faithful ones will arise in the last days. In many parts of the world, it has already come. And, even in the western world, those who honor God’s word over certain traditions are viewed with disdain.
Read MoreThere is a day coming on this earth when everyone still alive will suddenly be on the other side of that line of demarcation, for probation will have closed. No more “switching sides”.
Read MoreFrom the time that Revelation was given to John to share, its prophecies have been unfolding one-after-another. Daniel’s visions bring clarity to John’s and have well-pertained to these last two thousand years, accompanied with numerous foreshadowings in the Old Testament.
Read MoreBe aware that the lifelong process of sanctification occurs in small decisions that we make moment-by-moment. It is the little, careless decisions that cause us to stray from the right path. Decide today to use the glory and honor with which God has crowned you for His glory and not your own.
Read MoreJesus’s rescue operation will happen quickly, like a “surgical strike”, to borrow a military term. The time of the end will be marked with Satan’s most intense tactics to gain followers through deception. Thus, preparedness is of the essence.

Read MoreThis eternal truth goes far beyond the physical phenomenon of light as a wave or a particle. Full acceptance of the light, through trust, is what constitutes belief and acting in faith. The Light of Life invites us to reign forever and ever with Him!
Read MoreYour surrender to Him means your full acceptance of His ability to equip you — by the power of divine grace — to carry out all that He requires, as laid out in His word.
Read MoreMake note: every proverbial “fork in the road” is marked with opposing ideas: revenge or forgiveness, pride or humility, exasperation or patience, treachery or loyalty, worldliness or godliness, deception or honesty. And all along the way, we are magnanimously shown glimpses of glory, bucketsful of grace, and eons of mercy.
Read MoreIt is our Savior’s joy to walk with each of us, day-by-day, towards complete victory and restoration! This tree, like no other, symbolizes Jesus Christ, The Word of God …
Read MoreThis is a very interesting comparison between waters! Time and again, we have seen that man’s efforts to supposedly improve on God’s instructions result in great loss. Ideas that conflict with Scripture, if presented by professed representatives of God, ‘poison’ the waters.
Read MoreGod’s life within the heart of a transformed Christian exhibits itself winsomely. God works patiently to bring all of His people all the way out of Babylon – freeing them from every false teaching…
Read MoreDid this statement sound preposterous or outrageous to Jesus’s hearers? Indeed it did, but no more outlandish than the three previous Old Testament quotes made by the LORD to ancient Israel through His prophets.
Read MoreGod’s people are supernaturally enabled to experience inner peace regardless of the circumstances that swirl around them.
