I realized in my old "Posterity" blog and "Come Into an MK's Kitchen" blog, I posted some photos of the white board with scripture, but with my recent work in Revelation, I got too busy posting from my journal, so I really haven't. Since I'm posting thoughts that come to me while going through Revelation, I thought you might be interested in seeing what God has sent along to help me learn the verses.
The first photo shows the first white board I used, actually, when starting Revelation, so you can see after repeated writing and erasing, how smudgy it got. But I decided to hang onto the one that has the promise of blessing for those who would read and obey what is written in the book of Revelation. Next to it pictures what happened to a Christian who listened to the promise of the antichrist.
I know I was strongly reminded I needed to keep the desire to see the Lord Jesus first and foremost about wanting to go to Heaven, way more than anything else: sinlessness, eternal life, or reunion with loved ones. And while the beast offered thrones and crowns to those who would join him, it showed those in Heaven who had died for Him bowed down before God's throne (in an earlier chapter, they had cast their crowns at His feet!)
It must've been hard for the angels to hold back from announcing the astounding thing God wanted to do when He told them about Redemption...WHAT?! All nature would've wanted to shout out "WHAT?! FEAR GOD! GIVE HIM GLORY!" No wonder the angel says to us in a loud voice, "worship God!"
I wonder what the rest of Revelation will hold?
"Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law." (Ps. 119:18)
