Jesus, The Revelator

 At the closing of our previous message, we shared that the church was not mentioned in Revelation beyond Chapter 3 believing the church was Raptured at that time. We know that some people say the word Rapture is not in the Bible, and that is a true statement. However, Rapture means being "Caught Up." 1Thessalonians 4:16-17 says, "For the Lord Himself will descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be Caught Up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with The Lord."

Revelation 4 speaks about the Apostle John being "Caught Up." Revelation 4:1-3 shows Jehovah God saying to John, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this. Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in Heaven and One sat on the throne. And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance and there was a rainbow around the throne in appearance like an emerald."

One moment John is on the island of Patmos and the next moment he is standing before the Throne Of God. All of us who know Jesus as Lord and Savior will someday experience this glorious event! Hallelujah!

There are only a few people in Biblical History who stood before the Throne Of God or saw a vision of the Throne Room:

Stephen while being stoned by persecutors said, "Look! I see the Heaven's opened and the Son Of Man standing at the right hand of God!" {Acts 7:56}

Isaiah said, "I saw The Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up and the train of His robe filled the Temple." {Isaiah 6:1}

Daniel had a vision of the Throne Room of God, "I watched till Thrones were put in place, and the Ancient Of Days was seated." {Daniel 7:9}

Possibly, you have read this message and now desire to spend eternity before the Throne Room Of Jesus. Today, you can be assured this is your destination when you pass away. Please pray this prayer:

Jesus, I know I Am A Sinner

Please Forgive Me Of All My Sins

I Confess Jesus Is Lord And God Raised Him From The Dead

Please Come And Live Within My Heart As My Savior

Thank You Jesus

Blessings,
