“Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book.”

“Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book.”

“Behold, I am coming soon!”

How will Jesus’ word “soon” effect today?

Revelation 22:7 says,

“Blessed is he who keeps the words

of the prophecy in this book.” 

There are many prophesies in the Book of Revelations.

Prophecies of things to come.

Many of these prophesies are hard to

understand as we try to look into the future.

We are now looking at these prophesies 2000

years after John saw and recorded them.

This in itself, causes us to wonder if the

future John saw is unfolding in our life time.

  

John tells us we will be blessed if we

“keep the words of the prophecy in this book”.

Out of all the prophecies in the Book of Revelation

there is one that stands out above all the others.

It is found in the same verse,

"Behold, I am coming soon!”

All of us know what it is like to

put off something till tomorrow.

Every day there are things to get done and we will put

off the highest priorities if we think we have another day.

A wife told me the other day she had bugged her

husband to put a battery back up on their sub pump.

For months and years she felt frustrated and did not

like feeling like a nag because her husband put her off.

This family had done well in

life and their home very nice.

Their basement was carpeted and had a game room,

trophies from his many hunts and

the furniture came from the finest stores.

I have to admits when I was a

guest in their home I was envious.

Then a storm came and the electrical power went out. 

Their lovey home was in the dark and in a

short time water began to fill their basement.

Time had run out.

There was lots of time and the money to

put in a backup power supply to the

sub pump before that storm came…

Time that seemed to be used wisely…

But when the storm came it was too late.

You can’t go back and change your schedule.

Your activities are now a part of history.

This husband should have listened to his wife.

  

The word “soon” will change your life.

If we want to be blessed, we need to live

every day as if the coming of Christ is tomorrow.

If the soon coming of Christ is tomorrow…

What will change today?

Is there someone you need to talk to about Christ?

Will your earthy assets be embarrassing

when viewed next to your Kingdom assets?

 

Will your knowledge of God make

you ashamed when you see Him?

Keeping the prophecy, “He is coming soon”…

  

Must be lived on a daily bases…

Or, you will not be ready.

Let this prophecy become the priority

that motivates you and you will be blessed.
