Revelation Check

Twisted Revelation

God has sent his Holy Spirit to dwell with us and has called us to perfection through continual feeding upon Him in faith. Heaven on Earth takes root in each of us who accept God’s gift of grace and allow Our Lord to abide with us. The Lord’s presence, I prayerfully ask for awareness of, for God is with us at all times.
What need have I of knowing God’s future, when my being should actively seek God and his will? Why should I be fearful of things to come, when peace is in the Spirit of my Lord? The Lord calls us to love God, to love our neighbors, and to spread his message of God’s love. Will God smite the people of the Earth into submission? I would think not. The battle is already won. God has chosen love to save his people. We just need to accept and imitate his love.

VALIDITY OF REVELATION

* Text taken from New Century Version Bible *5/11/10 –upto Ch.14 -not complete
• Rev 1:1 Why would God need to give Jesus a Revelation?
Who is Jesus’s Angel?
How could John be told all of what Jesus had seen?
• Rev 1:4,5 Seven Spirits before his throne, and from Jesus Christ.
He is the ruler of the kings of the earth? Seems to me a power title. Christ’s Kingdom is not of this world. John 18:36
• Rev 1:6 It seems weird to me that Jesus’s Revelation would state “To Jesus Christ be
glory ….” When Christ was so humble
• Rev 1:7 those who stabbed him?
• Rev 1:8 “… and is coming.” This suggests that God is not with us now. But is coming at
a future time –We know that God the Holy Spirit is with us.
• Rev 1:9 “…. Share with Christ in suffering , in the kingdom…” Why should we suffer in
the kingdom?
• Rev 1:20 Idea that each church has an angel?
• Rev 2:7 …Eating the fruit from the tree of life… What is this about we are given
Everlasting life John 3:16  -Is this not another time we are teased/lured by fruit.  Is this a repeat temptation?
• Rev 2:11 …Those who win the victory. Christ has won the victory.
• Rev 2:12 The one who has the sharp, double-edged sword….” Is this reference to Jesus
-When would Jesus have a sword?
• Rev 2:17 Hidden Manna? Win the Victory? White stone?
• Rev 2:23 Does not sound like Jesus.
• Rev 3:9 Does anyone belong to Satan? Why should someone bow at our feet?
• Rev 3:12 Write on them his name? My new name?
• Rev 3:18 Gold to be rich? White clothes? –Do not worry about what you will wear
(Flowers / Solomon) -Medicine for eyes? “what of spiritual blindness”
• Rev3:21 Jesus sat at the right hand of the Father.
- Rev 4:11 to receive glory, honor and power  -Who can give such things to God  -We can only acknowledge that God has all glory, honor and power.
• Rev 4 and 5 Kind of Creepy
• Rev 6 God sending destruction?
• Rev 7:12 Always glory, wisdom, thanks, honor, power and strength -Why not love?
• Rev 7:17 Water that gives life? Eternal Life John 3:16
• Rev 8:1 Is there time in heaven?
• Rev 8:6-13 More destruction. When God promised never again to flood the world…
Do you think he would still destroy the World – just using a different way?
• Rev 9:4 could only harm those without the mark on forehead?
• Rev 9:11 An Angel King – King of locusts?
• Rev 10:4 The seven thunders? Secret?
• Rev 10:9 Eat the scroll?
• Rev 11:6 Two Witnesses have powers *seems showey for God who would not show evil
People a sign.
• Rev 11:15 “Power to rule… …..our Lord and his Christ,….” ?
• Rev 12 and 13 Sounds Sci-Fi
• Rev 14:1 Written on foreheads -I thought God was written on our hearts.
• Rev 14:3 ….144000 bought from the earth -sounds misleading
• Rev 14:4 ….144000 bought to be offered to God?
• Rev 14:7 Fear and worship God because the judgement is at hand?
• Rev 14:10 …wine of God’s anger….
