The story of God is a story of truth - and of witnesses to that truth. Daniel. John on Patmos. The two special ones in Chapter 11 of Revelation. The saints on earth now, and the saints who will be on earth proclaiming His truth during the most turbulent and trying times ever, as this age comes to its upcoming conclusion. You and me.

John is invited to take an eat the little book. As are we.

The determination of mankind to resist repentance and to deny the sovereign activity of God results will result in increased troubling. Both through and because of it all, many will come to their Savior. Haggai 2:6-7 - the prophetic intent and the results.

The scroll's progressive seals 1-6 having been opened by our Lord in the previous chapter, and there's a divine interlude as heaven addresses the matter of the end-of-age evangelism of the covenant Jewish nation. God is faithful to His people and to His promises. Seal 7 is for the next session...

Our Savior, the only One worthy to take and then open God's scroll in order to initiate the activities that "must take place", has the scroll in His hands. And we will consider the seven progressive seals as they are progressively loosed.

Along with the apostle John, we are being called up to a progressively higher place, both in: A. Our comprehension of this weighty and timely prophetic book; and B. in our lives on earth, in this season, as the Lord moves, exactly as He tells us in His word that He would be moving.

We're in Chapter 3, as the Lord invites us into deeper sanctification and holiness, repentance as necessary, and encouragement.

Today is Sept 19, Rush Hashanah. It is more than Hebrew-historic. My thoughts are it is likely prophetic, related to our study of Revelation. We certainly don't want to miss what is happening in the heavenly realms. And we look into the brief but serious admonition and warning to the church of Sardis - looks sort of good, but is dead. Our Lord is coming back for His live bride.    

More re the 7 Churches, but first and importantly: WHY the letters to the Seven Churches are even included in this book that is about the revelation/appearance of our returning Lord. It is written, purposely including these seven specific letters, for us.

First love, Holiness, Our call and invitation to walk with and to serve a Holy God.
