12-31-17 FaithLine Devotion THE END AND THE BEGINNING…

My dear brothers and sisters, dedicating your lives to singing for Jesus: Please be blessed as you read these scriptures.

“I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come.” (Isaiah 46:10)

THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST…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.” (Rev. 1:1-3)

Revelation begins with John, the last surviving apostle and an old man, in exile on the small, barren island of Patmos. The Roman authorities had banished him there because of his faithful preaching of the gospel. John received a series of visions that laid out the future history of the world. Revelation is first and foremost a revelation about Jesus Christ (1:1). The book depicts Him as the risen, glorified Son of God ministering among the churches (1:10), as “the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth” (1:5), as “the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End” (1:8), as the one “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty” (1:8), as the First and the Last (1:11), as the Son of Man (1:13), as the one who was dead, but now is alive forevermore (1:18), as the Son of God (2:18), as the one who is holy and true (3:7), as “the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God” (3:14), as the Lion of the tribe of Judah (5:5), as the Lamb in heaven, with authority to open the title deed to the earth (6:1), as the Lamb on the throne (7:17), as the Messiah who will reign forever (11:15), AS THE WORD OF GOD (19:13), as the majestic KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, returning in glorious splendor to conquer His foes (19:11), and as “the Root and the Offspring of David, THE BRIGHT AND MORNING STAR”(22:16).

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the endingsaith the Lord, which IS, and which WAS, and which IS TO COMETHE ALMIGHTY.” (Rev. 1:8)

WE MUST KEEP THE THINGS THAT ARE WRITTEN, EVERY DAY!

FaithLine, the bible says: “Blessed IS HE THAT READETH, and THEY THAT HEAR THE WORDS OF THIS PROPHECY…”
