Revelation: The Epilogue

Revelation 22:6-7And he said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his angel to show his servants what must soon take place.” “And behold, I am coming soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”


Revelation 22:8-9I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me, but he said to me, “You must not do that! I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers, the prophets, and with those those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”


Revelation 22:10-11And he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.”


Daniel 12: 4But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end.


Revelation 22:12-13“Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”


Revelation 22:14-15Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.


Revelation 22:16-17“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.” The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.


Revelation 22:18-19I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.


Revelation 22:20-21He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.


v. 7 – “Behold, I am coming soon.”

v. 12 – “Behold , I am coming soon.”

v. 20 – “Surely I am coming soon.”

2 Peter 3:8But do not overlook this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.


Revelation 22:12-13“Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”

“wages”


This theme of (judgment for many, blessing for some) has been a major

emphasis in the book. Yes?

Revelation: The EpilogueJudgment of God’s enemies

7 Seal Judgments 7 Trumpet Judgments

7 Bowl Judgments


Chp. 17-18: Destruction of Babylon the Great

Chp. 19: Armageddon, Antichrist and his false prophet cast into hell

Chp. 20: Satan thrown into hell (after humanity’s final attempt to overthrow God), Great White Throne Judgment


Revelation 22:15Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.


So judgment is coming for those who defiantly insist on going their own

way vs. going God’s way!

Revelation: The EpilogueBlessing for God’s people

Revelation 22:14Blessed are those who wash their robes,so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates.


Revelation 7:14These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.


Revelation 22:14Blessed are those who wash their robes (in the blood of the Lamb), so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates.

Revelation: The Epilogue(Revelation 22:6-21)

“Behold I am coming soon!”“Behold I am coming soon!”“Surely I am coming soon!”

The Day of His return will be a curse for many … but a blessing for some!

Revelation 22:17bAnd let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.

Romans 6:23For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Revelation 22:16I am . . . the bright morning star.

- Resist the agenda of the night!- Embrace the agenda of the day!

Romans 13:11-12Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.

Romans 13:13-14Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.


- Resist the agenda of the night!- Embrace the agenda of the day!- Enter the darkness of night with the

light of the day!

Matthew 5:14-16You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so thatthey may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.


Revelation 22:20-21He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.
