THE GREAT UNFOLDING

Today, I finished Revelation!  One time down this year and five more to go!  Revelation means "the unfolding".  The whole book is based on God revealing the future through seven scrolls that are "unfolded" or "unrolled" so see what is inside.  The whole book is a series of seven, sevens.  There are:  The Message to the Seven Churches, The Seven Seals on the Scrolls, The Seven Trumpet Judgments, The Seven Vial Judgments, The Seven Personages, The Seven Dooms, and The Seven New Things of Heaven!!  Seven Sevens!!  There are also five (parenthetical passages) placed within these series of sevens that are not chronilogical but spaced throughout.  Usually between the sixth and seventh judgment of the Seals, Trumpets, Vials, Dooms, etc.   Do you know that it is the only book in the whole Bible that promises a blessing to those who Hear the words of this book and Obey it's words.  Even in reading the book you get a promised blessing from God.  Don't be afraid of what you don't understand about the book of Revelation.  It was not meant to clear up all of your questions, but to give all of us a road map of God's planned future.  AND... the good news is that Heaven with all of it's splender is waiting for us.  WOW!!!   I can't wait!!  Hope you have enjoyed getting some things from these writings, tomorrow, I will start in Genesis again and hope to share some speical insights with you that mean so much to me.  May God bless!!
