My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 22:18

My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 22:18

Before Jesus was crucified He told the disciples to watch and pray, something so simple, but they let their physical bodies take over and they fell back asleep. In these last hours of time you need to hear His voice. When He tells you something, it is very important, but most ignore my voice or just discuss it and go on with what they were doing. You will see many things start to happen shortly and if you do not hear and obey His voice,... it will mean death for some of you....Jesus has only your best interest in mind. Christ knows you heart, and if you are truly His you will hear His voice. He awakes many of you at 3am on the dot, but most will roll over and go back to sleep. There are a few who will get up and pray. Your day is filled with so many things and Jesus is the last thing many of you give your time to. But Christ needs to talk to you,... to fellowship with you and only when you are still and quite (3am) can you hear Him,... the rest of your day is so busy you do not have time for Him,... but you need to make time, for time is short and the Lord has instructions for you.

Revelation 22

For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: Rev. 22:18

if any man... The 15th and last prophecy in Revelation (Rev. 22:18-20, unfulfilled). A solemn warning that applies not only to the book of Revelation, but to all the Bible. One cannot change God’s eternal Word and escape His judgment. One cannot add to it or take from it without having what is stated in Rev. 22:18-19 literally fulfilled in his case.

him the plagues... The plagues are those of eternal hell as well as many other kinds as referred to in Rev. 9:20; 15:1, 15:6, 15:8; 16:21; 21:9.

Bible Plagues

The Greek: plege, in Rev. 22:20 is translated "stripe" (Luke 12:48; (12:48; Acts 16:23, 16:33; 2Cor. 6:5; 11:23); "wound" (Luke 10:30; Rev. 13:3, 13:12, 13:14); and "plague" (Rev. 9:18, 9:20; 11:6; 15:1, 15:6, 15:8; 16:9, 16:21; 18:4, 18:8; 21:9; 22:18).

In the Bible 9 Hebrew and Greek words are translated "plague," meaning in general any calamity, sickness, disease, wound, scourge, stroke, or suffering. Famines, barrenness, boils, sicknesses, terror, failure in crops or business, oppression, destruction, poverty, wars, strifes, and many other human sufferings are considered plagues. See over 60 kinds of plagues listed in Lev. 26:1-46 and Deut. 28:1-68 alone.

11. Refusing to be thankful for all God’s blessings (Deut. 28:47)

12. Refusing to observe all God’s laws (Deut. 28:58-62)

13. Adding to God’s Word (Rev. 22:18)

14. Taking away from God’s Word (Rev. 22:19; Deut. 4:2; 12:32; Pro. 30:6)

15. A great earthquake (Rev. 8:5)

22. Many plagues by the two witnesses (Rev. 11:3-12)

23. The casting down of Satan (Rev. 12:10-12)

24. Great sores (Rev. 16:2)

25. The whole sea changed to blood (Rev. 16:4)

26. The rivers changed to blood (Rev. 16:4)

31. The plague of fire from heaven to devour rebels at the end of the Millennium (Rev. 20:7-10)

32. The plague of eternal hell (Rev. 2:11; 14:9-11; 20:10-15; 21:8; 22:15; Isa. 66:22-24. See Luke 12:5).

Thus, there are many examples of plagues sent upon people for rebellion. God has made the law of sowing and reaping and regardless of fallacies teaching that God will not judge Christians who backslide, these examples demonstrate that saved people will also reap what they sow (Gal. 6:7-8).

The speaker who testifies to the authority and finality of the words of the prophecy of this book is the Lord Jesus Christ.

A severe warning to the detractors from this prophecy. I (Jesus), warns everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.

The Final Warning (Rev. 22:18-19)

While on the one hand an invitation is extended to those who will listen, a word of warning is also given to those who reject the revelation of this final book of the Bible. A dual warning is given against adding to it or subtracting from it (cf. Deut. 4:2; 12:32; Pro. 30:6).
