JESUS IS COMING SOON


Revelation 22:7-21

7 AND BEHOLD, I AM COMING SPEEDILY,
Blessed (happy and to be envied) is he
WHO OBSERVES AND LAYS TO HEART
AND KEEPS THE TRUTHS OF THE PROPHECY--
The Predictions, Consolations and Warnings--
Contained in this Little Book.

8 And I John am he
Who heard and witnessed these things.
And when I heard and saw them,
I fell prostrate before the feet of the Messenger (angel)
Who showed them to me, to worship him.

9 But he said to me,
Refrain!--You must not do that!
I am [only] a fellow servant
Along with yourself and of your brethren the Prophets,
And those who are mindful
And practice [the truths contained in]
The Messages of this Book.
WORSHIP GOD!

10 And he [further] told me,
DO NOT SEAL UP THE WORDS
OF THE PROPHECY OF THIS BOOK
And make No Secret of them;
For the time when things are brought to a Crisis
AND THE PERIOD OF THEIR FULFILLMENT IS NEAR.

11 He who is Unrighteous (unjust, wicked)
Let him be Unrighteous still,
And he that is Filthy (vile, impure)
Let him be Filthy still,
And he that is Righteous
(just, upright, in right standing with God)
Let him do Right still,
And he who is Holy
Let him be Holy still. [Dan. 12:10.]

12 BEHOLD I AM COMING SOON,
And I shall bring My Wages and Rewards with Me,
To repay and render to each one
Just what his own actions and his own work merit.
[Isa. 40:10; Jer. 17:10.]

13 I AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA
The First and the Last
(The before all and at the End of all)
[Isa. 44:6; 48:12.]

14 BLESSED (happy and to be envied)
Are those who cleanse their garments
That they may have the Authority and Right
To [approach] THE TREE OF LIFE
And to enter in through the Gates
To the City. [Gen. 2:9; 3:22, 24.]

15 [BUT] WITHOUT ARE THE DOGS
And those who Practice Sorceries (magic arts)
And Impurity (the lewd, adulterers)
And the Murderers and Idolaters
And every one who loves and deals win Falsehood--
Untruth, Error, Deception, Cheating.

16 I, JESUS HAVE SENT MY MESSENGER (ANGEL)
To you to Witness and to give you assurance of these things
For the Churches (assemblies).

I AM [BOTH] THE ROOT (THE SOURCE)
AND THE OFFSPRING OF DAVID,
The Radiant and Brilliant Morning Star. [Isa. 11:1,10.]

17 The (Holy) Spirit and the Bride
[the Church, the true Christians]
SAY, COME!
And let him who is listening say, COME!
And let everyone come who is THIRSTY
[Who is Painfully Conscious of his need
Of those things
By which the soul is refreshed, supported and strengthened];
And whoever [EARNESTLY] desires to do it,
LET HIM COME AND TAKE AND APPROPRIATE (DRINK)
THE WATER OF LIFE WITHOUT COST. [Isa. 55:1.]

18 I [personally solemnly]
WARN EVERY ONE WHO LISTENS
To the statements of the Prophecy
[The Predictions and the Consolations
And Admonitions pertaining to them]
IN THIS BOOK:

If anyone shall add anything to them,
God will add and lay upon him the Plagues—
The Afflictions and Calamities--
That are recorded and described in THIS BOOK.

19 And if anyone cancels or take away from the statements
OF THE BOOK OF THIS PROPHECY--
These predictions relating to Christ's Kingdom
And its Speedy Triumph,
Together with the Consolations and Admonitions
(WARNINGS)
Pertaining to them—

GOD WILL CANCEL and TAKE AWAY FROM HIM
HIS SHARE IN THE TREE OF LIFE
And in the City of Holiness (pure and hallowed)
Which are Described and PROMISED in THIS BOOK.

20 HE WHO GIVES THIS WARNING
And Affirms and Testifies to these things, says,
YES—IT IS TRUE.
[SURELY] I AM COMING QUICKLY—
SWIFTLY, SPEEDILY.
AMEN—SO BE IT! YES, COME, LORD JESUS!

The Grace (blessing and favor)
Of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah
Be with all the Saints—God's Holy People
[Those Set Apart for God, to be, as it were, Exclusively His].
Amen—so let it be!
(Revelation 22:7-21, AMP)

Christ Jesus warned us:
Be always on the Watch,
And pray that you will be able to Escape
All that is about to happen,
And that you may be able TO STAND
Before the Son of Man.
(Luke 21:36)

Today, the World is Raging Against God,
Rushing toward Oblivion. (Psalm 2)
This World in it's Present Form is Passing Away.
(1 Corinthians 7:31)
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!
