The Apocalypse:
The Apex of
Good vs. Evil
Corruption that Leads to Tyranny
The Book of Revelation reveals the faithful caught up at the apex of the aged old conflict between Freedom and Redemption in Christ Jesus, or the corruption of the aged enemy of the peoples of the world that ‘Old Serpent’ which leads to tyranny and condemnation. The steadfast believer remains faithful and true, and just like our 1st Century counterparts. The faithful conduct themselves thusly as it is written in Acts 5:29, Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
Who is “He”?
The written Word of God speaks of a “He”, as it is written in the Book of Daniel 9:27, And he shall confirm the covenant with the many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
The Holy Scriptures refers to him as the “Son of Perdition”. Perdition meaning the “Apex of Destruction and Damnation.” The Holy Scriptures reads what comes first before the “He” shows up on the world stage as it is written in 2nd Thessalonians 2:3, Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition.
The “He” in the Bible is also known as the “Antichrist” as it is written 1st John2:18, Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that “Antichrist” shall come, even now there are many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
Precautionary Warning
The Book of Revelation gives a precautionary warning to all the peoples of the world not to be deceived as it is written in Galatians 6:7, Be not deceived; God is not mocked for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Also it reads as it is written in Revelation 19:20, And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had deceived the MARK of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. these both were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone.
Another name for the Book of Revelation is The Apocalypse, it comes from the Greek, meaning ‘Lifting of the Veil,’ to an impending future for mankind. A story of faith opposing the Mark of the Beast
The Book of Revelation chapter and verse warns to take drastic measures not to received the “MARK of the BEAST,” because somber consequences are assured for those who do so as it is written in Revelation 14:11, And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the MARK of his name.
The Present Pinnacle Point in Time
World history has been leading up to this present pinnacle Point in time, and a believer can always take to heart in the knowledge of knowing the faithful have Victory in Christ Jesus over the ancient foe as it is written in 1st Corinthians 15,54, So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal should have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
A Blessing Is Given
A blessing is given for all those who read the prophetic writings of The Book of Revelation as it is written in Revelation 1: 3, Blessed it he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
Victory In The Lord Jesus Christ
The Book of Revelation ends with the message there is Victory in Christ Jesus, as it is written in 1st Corinthians 15:57, But thank be to God, which giveth us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
A Living Testament
The Book of Revelation if anything else is a living testament of the imminent return of the Lord Jesus Christ, and it is up to the individual as to how they shall fit into its pages of prophecy, as it is written in Luke 21:28, And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
Tears of Heartache
The heart will find healing in the future coming Kingdom of God, and coming to an end will be all the tears of heartache, as it is written in Revelation 21:4, And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
Times of Trouble
What a comfort in times of trouble to know the Lord’s Word is true and faithful, as it is written in Revelation 21:5, And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write for these things are true and faithful.
That Old Serpent
The world will finally be cleansed of all enemies including the very one from the very beginning of creation ‘That Old Serpent’ as it is written in Revelation 12:9, And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
