“Look, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll.”

 Revelation 22:1-21

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.

“Look, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy written in this scroll.”

Because the time is near. Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy.

“Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.”

Why?

The Lord is coming soon in God's way and God's time. The Lord is not delayed but gives us the chance to repent our sins.

How?

Trust in Jesus Christ and witness the good behavior through the Bible. Jesus told us to love one another.

I am making everything new!

 Revelation 21:1-27

Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”

showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God. It shone with the glory of God, and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel. There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. The wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them were the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there. The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

Why?

John wrote the situation of the Ho;y City, the new Jerusalem, let us have hope and vision in the future. This place belongs to God's people. 

There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for these are our pain and suffering in the world.

How?

Thanks to the Lord for giving us this vision to witness that our destination will be greater than this world.

Each person was judged according to what they had done.

 Revelation 20:1-15

And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.

They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.

But fire came down from heaven and devoured them. And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books.

 Each person was judged according to what they had done. 

Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire.

Why?

These are the pictures of the end of this world and the situation in heaven. 

If our name is written in the book of life will be in the resurrection. If the name is not written in the life book will be thrown into the lake of fire, same as satan, and the devil.

How?

Not only accept Jesus Christ as my savior, but also live out the life of Jesus in my daily life with faith, love and hope

A white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war

 Revelation 19:1-21

Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God, for true and just are his judgments.

“Hallelujah! The smoke from her goes up for ever and ever.”

“Amen, Hallelujah!” For our Lord God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready. Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.” (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.)

Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”

At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.”

I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war.

He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.

On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords.

But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. The rest were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. The rest were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.

Why?

This is the destination of the beast and the false prophet; they were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.

How?

My God is the Lord, and God is the KING of Kings and the Lord of Lords. The Lord is my savior, my shepherd, and my strength. There is no one like Him! May my life and my strength be with the Lord! Dear Lord, help me solve all the problems in my work and strengthen my wisdom in my daily life.

In her was found the blood of prophets and of God’s holy people, of all who have been slaughtered on the earth.

 Revelation 18:1-24

After this I saw another angel coming down from heaven.

“‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great!’ She has become a dwelling for demons and a haunt for every impure spirit, a haunt for every unclean bird, a haunt for every unclean and detestable animal. For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries.”

Then I heard another voice from heaven say: ‘Come out of her, my people,’ so that you will not share in her sins, so that you will not receive any of her plagues; for her sins are piled up to heaven, and God has remembered her crimes.

Therefore in one day her plagues will overtake her: death, mourning and famine. She will be consumed by fire, for mighty is the Lord God who judges her.

Woe! Woe to you, great city, dressed in fine linen, purple and scarlet, and glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls! Woe! Woe to you, great city, where all who had ships on the sea became rich through her wealth! In one hour she has been brought to ruin!’

In her was found the blood of prophets and of God’s holy people, of all who have been slaughtered on the earth.”

Why?

Babylon means the all impure spirit, adulteries, and excessive luxuries. It means all who search the rich, luxurious life and have sinned against the Lord.

All God's holy people, of all who have been slaughtered on the earth, the Lord will comfort them.

How?

Keep our faith in Jesus and show our love to others. Trust in Jesus Christ is my salvation and only hope.

The Seven Bowls of God’s Wrath

 Revelation 16:1-21

Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go, pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.”

The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly, festering sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

The second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it turned into blood like that of a dead person, and every living thing in the sea died.

The third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs of water, and they became blood.

The fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, and the sun was allowed to scorch people with fire. They were seared by the intense heat and they cursed the name of God, who had control over these plagues, but they refused to repent and glorify him.

The fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and its kingdom was plunged into darkness. But they refused to repent of what they had done. 

The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.

The seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and out of the temple came a loud voice from the throne, saying, “It is done!” Then there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder and a severe earthquake. No earthquake like it has ever occurred since mankind has been on earth, so tremendous was the quake. 

Every island fled away and the mountains could not be found. From the sky huge hailstones, each weighing about a hundred pounds, fell on people. And they cursed God on account of the plague of hail, because the plague was so terrible.

Why?

There is nothing left in the world, for everything is destroyed after the seven bowls are poured. 

How sad to many human beings, even before they are dead, still refuse to repent and glorify the Lord.

How?

It reminds me to not always focus on my work but also care about the lives around me!

Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on

 Revelation 14:1-19

And they sang a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and the elders. No one could learn the song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. These are those who did not defile themselves with women, for they remained virgins. They follow the Lamb wherever he goes. They were purchased from among mankind and offered as firstfruits to God and the Lamb. No lie was found in their mouths; they are blameless.

He said in a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come. Worship him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.”

A second angel followed and said, “‘Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great,’which made all the nations drink the maddening wine of her adulteries.”

A third angel followed them and said in a loud voice: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or on their hand, they, too, will drink the wine of God’s fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb.

Then I heard a voice from heaven say, “Write this: Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.”

“Yes,” says the Spirit, “they will rest from their labor, for their deeds will follow them.”

Why?

John wrote down in God's command, let us know what this world will be, and encourage us to follow Jesus Christ. 

All who worship the beast will be burned and dead forever with the beast.

Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, their spirit and life will be with the Lord with joy in heaven.

How?

Do what I can to preach the Gospel until one day I meet the Lord!

Whoever has ears, let them hear. “If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go

 Revelation 13:1-18

dragon, a beast coming out of the sea. The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast.

People worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the beast, and they also worshiped the beast and asked, “Who is like the beast? Who can wage war against it?”

All inhabitants of the earth will worship the beast—all whose names have not been written in the Lamb’s book of life, the Lamb who was slain from the creation of the world.

Whoever has ears, let them hear. “If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword they will be killed.”

It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,  so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

This calls for wisdom. Let the person who has insight calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man. That number is 666.

Why?

We don't know what these beasts are. Maybe they are AI in our generation, or man-made machines with wisdom and power.

We can use AI to work for us; one day, AI can control us too. But AI needs energy, energy is in the hands of the Lord.

How?

Day after day, year after year, we don't know what will be tomorrow. But I know the Lord still control all universe until end of this world.

They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony

Revelaton 12:1-17

Then another sign appeared in heaven: an enormous red dragon with seven heads and ten horns and seven crowns on its heads. Its tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born.

She gave birth to a son, a male child, who “will rule all the nations with an iron scepter.” And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne. The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God, where she might be taken care of for 1,260 days. (About 3.5 Years)

Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.

Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.

They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.

Why?

There are wars between angels, including God's children and dragons; finally, the devil and dragon were cast out from heaven and defeated.

We are the rest of her offspring - those who obey God's commandments and hold to the testimony of Jesus.

How?

Keeping and honestly obeying God's commandments and holding to the testimony of Jesus is the way to eternal life.

The survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven

 Revelation 11:1-19

They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.

Now when they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will attack them, and overpower and kill them. Their bodies will lie in the public square of the great city—which is figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where also their Lord was crucified.

For three and a half days some from every people, tribe, language and nation will gaze on their bodies and refuse them burial. 

But after the three and a half days the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and terror struck those who saw them. Then they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud, while their enemies looked on.

At that very hour, there was a severe earthquake and a tenth of the city collapsed. Seven thousand people were killed in the earthquake, and the survivors were terrified and gave glory to the God of heaven.

The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever.”

Then God’s temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a severe hailstorm.

Why?

This is the end of the world, and it is the time of the Lord. Welcome his people to come up to heaven, and all the images described in the Old Testament could be seen this time.

It is hard to imagine this feature for us. John described detailed information, encouraging us to have faith, walk in the way of faith, live, and hope.

How?

Because I believe Jesus is the Son of the Lord, so believe all that the Bible mentions about the Lord, Jesus Christ, and the Bible. My mission is to preach the gospel to more people.

You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages and kings

 Revelation 10:1-

“There will be no more delay! 7 But in the days when the seventh angel is about to sound his trumpet, the mystery of God will be accomplished, just as he announced to his servants the prophets.

Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me once more: “Go, take the scroll that lies open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.”

He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will turn your stomach sour, but ‘in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey. I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my stomach turned sour. Then I was told, “You must prophesy again about many peoples, nations, languages, and kings.

Why?
No one knows what will happen in the future, but the Lord let John see the future visions. And the Lord allowed part of the vision to be written down as a reminder to us.

The word of the Lord, described by John is prophesies many peoples, nations, languages, and kings. It does not happen as mentioned by men or kings.

How?

We don't need to know what or when the time of the Lord, but let faith, love, and hope stay in my heart and mind.

the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them : Woe to the inhavitants of the earth

 Revelation 8:1-13

When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.

And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and seven trumpets were given to them.

Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.

Then the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to sound them. The first angel sounded his trumpet, and there came hail and fire mixed with blood, and it was hurled down on the earth. A third of the earth was burned up.

The second angel sounded his trumpet, and something like a huge mountain, all ablaze, was thrown into the sea. A third of the sea turned into blood,

The third angel sounded his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water.

The fourth angel sounded his trumpet, and a third of the sun was struck, a third of the moon, and a third of the stars, so that a third of them turned dark.

As I watched, I heard an eagle that was flying in midair call out in a loud voice: “Woe! Woe! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth, because of the trumpet blasts about to be sounded by the other three angels!”

Why?

All we see is the beautiful image of our living place, and the sun, stars, and moon all become dark. One third of people and lives are dead.

The Lord created a beautiful earth, which became a lost land. How sad it was for people living during this period.

If anyone does not walk with Jesus Christ and follow Him. The terrible ending will come.

How?

Be aware that even if we do not obey the word of the Lord, there are some consequences above.

Seven seals are opened, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?

 Revelation 6:1-16

I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals.  I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.

When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, “Come!” Then another horse came out, a fiery red one. Its rider was given power to take peace from the earth and to make people kill each other. To him was given a large sword.

When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a black horse! Its rider was holding a pair of scales in his hand.  “Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds[c] of barley for a day’s wage,  and do not damage the oil and the wine! It is very expensive barley.

When the Lamb opened the fourth seal!  I looked, and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God and the testimony they had maintained. They called out in a loud voice, “How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?” Then each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to wait a little longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers and sisters, were killed just as they had been.

I watched as he opened the sixth seal. There was a great earthquake.

The heavens receded like a scroll being rolled up, and every mountain and island was removed from its place.

Then the kings of the earth, the princes, the generals, the rich, the mighty, and everyone else, both slave and free, hid in caves and among the rocks of the mountains. 

For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can withstand it?

Why?

John told us about the end of the world, the day of God's judgment coming, and what will happen. 

Seven seals are opened by the Lamb, Jesus Christ.

The sun, moon, stars, earth, and heaven are all changed and broken. No one can stand up.

How?

Don't worry about this, for the Lord knows us, God will be with us until the last day coming, or we can return to the Lord earlier. Maybe with God's grace, we don't need to suffer this terrible end of the world.

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’ who was, and is, and is to come

 Revelation 3:1-22

To the ange of the church in Sardis write: These are the words of him who holds the seven spirits of God and the seven stars. I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God. Remember, therefore, what you have received and heard; hold it fast, and repent. But if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what time I will come to you.

Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy.

To the Church in Philadelphia: 

These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.

To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:

I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 

Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”

 4:1-11

After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.”

In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back. The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle. Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty,’ who was, and is, and is to come.”

Why?
John saw the vision of the Lord in heaven; this vision is hard to see unless God's invitation. 

Our God is Holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.

How?

What I can say is no. My God is Holy! Hoy!Holy, no one likes my Lord Almighty!

Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches

 Recelation 3:1-22

To the Church in Sardis

I know your deeds; you have a reputation of being alive, but you are dead. Wake up! Strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have found your deeds unfinished in the sight of my God.

Yet you have a few people in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes. They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy. The one who is victorious will, like them, be dressed in white. I will never blot out the name of that person from the book of life, but will acknowledge that name before my Father and his angels. Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.

To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:

These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!

Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

Why?

God is love, the Lord gives a chance to everyone to repent from their sins, and purify them, remind them of hope, that they may return to the way of the Lord.

The load knows everyone what he did and what sins. Repent to the Lord and confess our weakness, for God is love.

How?

Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Follow the standard of the Lord, rather than my own interests or what I thought was right, and prefer to do it.

Who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.

 Revlation 1,2

The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.

“Look, he is coming with the clouds,   and “every eye will see him, even those who pierced him”;   and all peoples on 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.”

On the Lord’s Day I was in the Spirit, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet, which said: “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.”

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 now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.

The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels[e] of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

Why?

The Lord showed John and let John write down what he saw and what he heard, and sent this message to all churches.

From the beginning to the end of the world, God is on top forever. John showed us one day the Lord will come to us again, it will be soon.

How?

Remember, God will come again in his time from heaven to this world.

Be merciful to those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire

 Jude 

Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance.

Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe.

In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.

But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not himself dare to condemn him for slander but said, “The Lord rebuke you!” Yet these people slander whatever they do not understand, and the very things they do understand by instinct—as irrational animals do—will destroy them.

Woe to them! They have taken the way of Cain; they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.

But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.

But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

Be merciful to those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.

How?

This is our action to save lives from death and sins.

Be merciful to those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear, hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.

We ought therefore to show hospitality to such people so that we may work together for the truth

3 John 1:1-15

I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.

Dear friend, you are faithful in what you are doing for the brothers and sisters, even though they are strangers to you.

We ought therefore to show hospitality to such people so that we may work together for the truth.

I wrote to the church, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will not welcome us. So when I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, spreading malicious nonsense about us. 

Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from God. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen God. Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone—and even by the truth itself. We also speak well of him, and you know that our testimony is true.

Why?

All information had been delivered to John, so John knew who was faithful to the Lord and who honored the Holy name of the Lord.

During the first century, many travelers had no place to stay, so brothers would often show their love to unknown people, demonstrating the love of the Lord.

How?

Even now, we may love someone who comes to church for the first time and welcome their presence, just as I welcome guests who come to my office.
