Studies in the Book of Revelation
BOOK 7 - YES, I AM COMING SOON! (REVELATION 19:11 - 22-21)
PART 7.7 - JESUS CHRIST GUARANTEES THAT HIS PROPHESIES WILL BE IMPLEMENTED (REVELATION 21:6-21)
4. Don’t Tamper With the Prophecy! (Revelation 22:18-19)REVELATION 22:18-19 The living Lord is watching over his word (Jeremiah 1:12). The Word of God is right and it stands firm forever and ever. (Psalm 33:4; 119:89; and other verses.). Jesus himself guarantees the unadulterated quality of the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament (Matthews 5:17-18; 24:35; John 17:17; and other verses). The risen Lord warns all those who want to manipulate his word:
Not every listener has the spiritual maturity so as to understand all texts of the Book of Revelation. Who does not, however, want to listen to the Word of God or stifles what he had heard, belongs to those who deceive themselves and their Lord. Therefore, the mysteries of the Book of Revelation should be interpreted first and foremost in the church and in Bible classes which are founded in the cross of Christ. Those who are responsible in the church bear heavy responsibility before the Lord. They pass on the precious water of life and the satisfying bread of life. Who on earth will drink dirty water or eat bread contaminated with harmful additives? The spiritual diseases in many churches often derive from lack of faithfulness of the preacher when they pass on the word of God. Those, however, who read carefully the whole word of God and translate it into the present-day language, will speak through the authority and power of the Holy Spirit. PRAYER: Heavenly Father, we worship and magnify You because Your word establishes in us everlasting life. Help us so that we may not add to it philosophy, psychology, or earthly thoughts, but work hard that we may not forget or keep quiet about any verse of it. Guide us to openly spread the word of truth in the way of love and wisdom. Amen. QUESTION:
