Thurs.’s Devo - The Glorious Revelation

This is the last year of 2015! I hope you will all join me next year as we walk through the Bible again chronologically. I have so enjoyed this year and I know God will even reveal more next year. Thank you for joining me in this journey. I pray that it has been a blessing to you. I often pray for each of my readers and wish I could meet each of you personally. I pray that next year is the best year yet for you and your family! May you walk closer and deeper with Jesus.
Read: Revelation 19-22
Today we try to bring Revelation to a close. This is the good part. The time of the marriage of the Lamb has come and the bride is presented. The bridegroom comes to the wedding on a white horse with the armies of heaven as his attendants. First he wars against his earthly opponents. The religious giant, the False Prophet, and the world’s economic system, the Beast, are all judged and thrown into the lake of fire along with their unholy remnant. An angel comes and gets the Devil from the bottomless pit and binds him up for 1,000 years. Then the souls of the righteous through the ages are brought before the throne and they are given the honor of living and reigning with Christ 1,000 years. The ungodly and carnal sleep during this time. After this time, Satan will be released to deceive the nations in the earth of Gog and Magog. Gog is the name of a future anti-christ and Magog will be his kingdom. They will come down and surround the saints and God will send down fire to destroy them. Then the devil will be thrown into the lake of fire. All who are in hell will be judged and death and hell will be cast into the lake of fire.
Then the new heaven and the new earth will come and the old will perish. There will be no more sea because the sea is the picture of demonic underworld. The new Jerusalem will come down from heaven and the righteous will inherit everything from God. This new kingdom will be glorious beyond our comprehension or experience.
John was told not to seal this book because the time is near. Every day it draws closer so let us draw near to our Savior and Lord.
I pray that the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen
