Are you Ready To Meet The King?

The apostle John meets the King of kings, Christ Jesus in all His Glory:

I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me.
And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands,
And among the lampstands was someone 'like a son of man,'
Dressed in a robe reaching down to His feet
And with a golden sash around His chest.
His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow,
And His eyes were like blazing fire.
His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace,
And His voice was like the sound of rushing waters.
In His right hand he held seven stars,
And out of His mouth came a sharp double-edged sword.
His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.

When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as though dead.
Then He placed His right hand on me and said:
'Do not be afraid.
I am the First and the Last.
I AM the Living One;
I was dead, and behold I AM alive for ever and ever!
And I hold the keys of Death and Hades. (Revelation 1:12-18)

John sees seven golden lampstands which represent the Churches
That Chrsit Jesus was writing to, and His Church for all time.
And among the lampstands someone who looked in form like a normal man.
However, He was supernatural in every other respect.
He had a robe that reached down to His feet
And a golden sash around His chest, speaking of His Kingship.
His head and hair were white, speaking of the holiness of God.
And His eyes were like blazing fire, the all consuming fire of God;
All seeing and meaning certain judgment for sin.
His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace,
Speaking of His ultimate power and authority.
His voice was like the sound of rushing waters,
Like the sound of the River of LIFE 
That flows continually from the throne of God;
Like the sound of standing near Niagara Falls.

Christ Jesus holds His Church leaders in His right hand [the seven stars]
From which no one can remove them.
Out of His mouth comes a sharp double-edged sword,
Speaking of the absolute Truth and Authority of the Word of God.
His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance;
Speaking of the absolute holiness of God.

When John sees the risen Christ, he falls to the ground as though dead;
The manifest presence of God is overwhelming, rendering him powerless.
No one can stand in His presence, unless He allows it.

Christ Jesus stabilizes John by placing His right hand on him
And tells John not to be afraid.
Christ Jesus tells John that He is the First and the Last,
The Self-Existent One, the Eternal One, with no beginning and no end.
He says that He is the Living One,
The One from whom all LIFE emanates.
He died for the sins of all mankind but is now alive forever.
Christ Jesus holds the keys of death and Hades;
He determines who lives and who dies, 
Who goes to heaven and who goes to hell,
Based on His all knowing, perfect love;
Who desires that every person choose the LIFE He offers.

John is told to write down what he has seen,
What is currently taking place, and what will take place later.
Christ Jesus tells John that the seven stars
Are the “angels,” or leaders of the Seven Churches,
And the seven lampstands are the Seven Churches.

This King, Christ Jesus, God Almighty, holds your life in His hands.
Do you know Him?
What is your destiny?
You will meet Him soon, either at the point of death or His Second Coming.
As He causes your entire life to pass before you,
Will He say to you well done good and faithful servant,
Or away from me you evil doer, I never knew you!

This King, Christ Jesus, God Almighty, will determine your future
And the future of every nation, every tribe and every tongue.

John addresses the Seven Churches in the province of Asia
And the Church of Christ Jesus for ALL Time:

Grace and Peace to you from Him Who is, and Who was, 
And Who is to come,
And from the Seven-fold Spirit before His Throne,
And from Jesus Christ, Who is the Faithful Witness,
The Firstborn from the dead,
AND THE RULER OF THE KINGS OF THE EARTH.

(Satan controls the kingdoms of the earth [1 John 5:19],
They are all his kingdom, singular.
He plays them one against the other as he pleases
Because they have ALL rejected the Christ of God.
Yet he can do NOTHING but that which Christ Jesus allows.
When Satan presents to the UNBELIEVING world his son, the Antichrist,
This is God's Powerful DELUSION [2 Thessalonians 2:1-12.])

To Him Who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His Blood,
And has made us to be a Kingdom and Priests to serve His God and Father--
To Him be Glory and Power FOR EVER AND EVER! Amen.

Look, He is coming on the clouds, and every eye will see Him,
Even those who pierced Him;
And ALL THE PEOPLES OF THE EARTH will MOURN because of Him.
SO SHALL IT BE! Amen.

'I AM the Alpha and the Omega,' says the Lord God,
Who is, and Who was, AND WHO IS TO COME, the ALMIGHTY.'
(Revelation 1:4-8)

At the RETURN of Christ Jesus the whole world MOURNS,
Because they know at that time they are headed for HELL!
Yet for those who KNOW Him there will be Grace and Peace. Hallelujah!

I pray that those who read this message are ready to meet the King;
That Grace and Peace will be theirs;
That they will not be among those who mourn the RETURN of Christ Jesus.

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)
America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.
Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)
As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!
Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
