Insight: Revelation 1:1-3; 19:11-16; 21:1-8; 22:1-5; 16-21
Jesus will return as King of Kings, defeat evil, and rule an everlasting Kingdom. He also establishes eternal life for all believers.
God and People
God has given us His Revelation. He will send the Holy City, the New Jerusalem to the new earth. God will dwell with the people. God is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. He will give water from the spring of the water of life. He will be the God of His Children. God’s Throne will be in the city and He will give Light.
Blessed are the ones who hear the prophecy and take it to heart. God will be their God without mourning, crying, or pain. God’s servants will serve Him in the Holy City.
Jesus
Jesus is the Faithful and True, the Word of God riding on a white horse, leading the armies of Heaven. He will have a sharp sword coming out of His Mouth to strike down the nations. He will rule them with an iron scepter. He is the “King of Kings and Lord of Lords.” Jesus sent His angel to give us this testimony. He is the Root and the Offspring of David, and the Bright Morning Star. Jesus said He is coming soon!
