REVELATION Things to Do

Hi Friends,

I will list up the things we are to keep if we want to be blessed here below in the course of the Bible Study in this post and probably comment on them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.

We shall...

... read or hear this prophecy.
... keep the things we are told in this book

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. (Revelation 1:6 KJV)

We shall...

...praise the Lord for ever and ever.
...allow Him dominion for ever and ever.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Revelation 1:10-11: God Himself is telling John what to write in a book which is to be sent to the seven churches. ===>
As members of the Body of Christ we should...

...listen carefully to what God had to say to the churches.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How to read the Bible

Whatever you do, do it with God, and read what He has to say.

Do not change the meaning to your personal liking.

There are metaphors in the Bible, sure, as there are in most other books. Metaphors are used to illustrate things for a better understanding.

If you read the Bible literally, you might face the problem that you have become a letter idiot.

Last week I told someone the way after I was asked. I told him, "Go straight on until you can see a white house." He could have thought, oh, she meant that literally, and I must look for a white house... but there was no real white house, because it was kind of beige, because the rainhad washed the color away. He might as well have thought, oh, it was meant metaphorically! I must look for a house of the Government.

Actually both was wrong. He should have understood what everybody would have understood... he might never have found the way. The truth was I was speaking of a white house that looked white to anyone. Would I have used metaphors to tell him the way? No, I used what I thought he would understand best. Who is there to say God would use speech that nobody could understand and had to guess? God is not stupid. Never forget that He is talking with you when you read the Bible, and pray before that. Ask our Heavenly Father to explain it all to you in Jesus' name, and He will.

Matthew 13:1-23 KJV

"The same day went Jesus out of the house, and sat by the sea side. And great multitudes were gathered together unto him, so that he went into a ship, and sat; and the whole multitude stood on the shore.

And he spake many things unto them in parables, saying, Behold, a sower went forth to sow; And when he sowed, some seeds fell by the way side, and the fowls came and devoured them up: Some fell upon stony places, where they had not much earth: and forthwith they sprung up, because they had no deepness of earth: And when the sun was up, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprung up, and choked them: But other fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfold.

Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?

He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given. For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance: but whosoever hath not, from him shall be taken away even that he hath. Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand. And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive: For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.

For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them.

Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower. When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the wicked one, and catcheth away that which was sown in his heart. This is he which received seed by the way side. But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended. He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
