Good afternoon, everyone!
So, my posts actually had the wrong numbers on them. Because of a typo on one post, I was 10 days behind on my count. But that's all fixed now. Yay! It actually looks like I'm almost done with my RBY challenge!
Today, I read Revelation 1-3.
I want to be very upfront with this: Last time I read Revelation, I didn't understand a word of it. I won't discuss anything here that I don't understand, unless I pose it as a question.
Revelation is a book of visions given to the disciple John.
So, on to some verses I did understand today!
Revelation 1:8: "I am the Alpha an the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
God reigns eternal. Eternal. It's a hard word for our mortal minds to understand. We can't even fathom how long that is. God was from the beginning. He is in the present. He will forever be.
There were warnings to the churches in these chapters as well. They were mostly doing things right, but there were warnings for some of the things they were letting slip.
Jesus also says:
Revelation 3:20 - "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me."
Jesus desires that we should be with Him forever. He wants to talk with us and help us. But we have to let Him in.
I hope you'll join me tomorrow when I read Revelation 4-8.
