The End of Time

Revelation 1-5; 9-22

The Story – Chapter 31

Revelation 1:1 THE REVELATION FROM JESUS CHRIST, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. (p. 459 in The Story)

Notice the book is called

THE REVELATION,

not ”Revelations” with an “s” at

the end.

The word “revelation” is a

translation of the Greek

apokalypsis, meaning “an

unveiling” or “a disclosure.”

Revelation 1:9 (NIV) 9 I, John, your brother and companion in the suffering and kingdom and patient endurance that are ours in Jesus, was on the island of Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.

first love: Jesus Christ and

propagating the saving message

of the Gospel.

Revelation 2:4–5 (NIV) 4 Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken the love you had at first. 5 Consider how far you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.

Holy Spirit, bring spiritual awakening and revival. Begin

here, in my heart. I repent of being

saved and satisfied. Fill me with your

Spirit afresh so that I may serve you with

my every heartbeat. For Your glory, Jesus, and the glory of Your

Kingdom. Amen.

Revelation 3:3 (NIV) 3 Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.
