My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 22:20

My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 22:20

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

The Last Promise and Prayer in the Book and the Bible

He which testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus. Rev. 22:20

Surely I come... The last promise in Scripture and concerns the second coming of Jesus Christ to the earth. Being one of the most important doctrines of the Bible, this is referred to many hundreds of times in both testaments.

In some Bible statistics it is claimed that there are 33,000 promises in Scripture. But it must be remembered that there are not this many verses in the Bible.

250. Soon return of Jesus Christ to fulfill all the above promises (Rev. 22:7, 22:12, 22:20; cp. 3:11)

There are 750 promises in the New Testament, but only 250 separate benefits due to the fact that many of the promises are repeated in different books. Some are not in the form of a promise, but the truths they contain make the basis of our claims for gospel benefits, so they are listed as promises. Generally, verses are listed with the book wherein the promise is found first.

“Surely I come quickly” (see Rev. 3:11). In light of this future expectation, what is now required of believers is outlined by Peter (see 2 Peter 3:11-18).

As previously stated, the translation is "Surely I come suddenly", when least expected. The cry of every Christian should be "come quickly Lord Jesus", as I said before. My cry, as I go through the land telling people of my Savior and Lord, is "JESUS IS COMING".

John speaks for all true believers when he writes, "Come Lord Jesus", since Christians are those "who have loved His appearing" (2 Tim. 4:8). Scoffers may mockingly ask, "Where is the promise of His coming? For ever since the fathers fell asleep, all continues just as it was from the beginning of creation" (2 Peter 3:4). But things will not continue forever as they are. Jesus will return, just as Revelation predicts. If the certainty of Christ's return to judge sinners does not motivate people to repent, then nothing will.

"Amen" means so be it.

The Final Prayer And Promise (Rev. 22:20-21)

One further word of testimony was then given: Yes, I am coming soon (cf. Rev. 22:7, 22:12). To this John replied in a brief prayer, Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.

Romans Chapter 1 Vs. 26

God's Wrath on Unrighteousness

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: Rom 1:26

For this cause... Because of the apostasy of Rom. 1:21-25.

vile... Greek: atimia, vile (Rom. 1:26); shame (1Cor. 11:14); reproach (2Cor. 11:21); and dishonour (Rom. 9:21; 1Cor. 15:43; 2Cor. 6:8; 2Tim. 2:20).

affections... Greek: pathos, affections (Rom. 1:26; Col. 3:5) and lusts (1Thes. 4:5). Vile affections are passions of infamy and shame.

the natural use... This is lesbianism—unnatural, homosexual relations between women.

Abandoned to sexual perversion

Also God gave them over to shameful lusts (lit., “passions of disgrace”). This involved, as the text states, both sexes engaging in homosexual instead of heterosexual relationships. Women deliberately exchanged natural relations (with men in marriage) for unnatural ones (with other women). This is the second “exchange” the unregenerate made (cf. Rom. 1:25). Men… were inflamed with lust (orexei, “sexual lust,” used only here in the NT and differing from the more common word for lust in Rom. 1:26).

Daniel Chapter 4 Vs. 26

Daniel Interprets the Second Dream

And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule. Dan. 4:26

The fact that the stump was not to be uprooted (but was to be secured and left in the field, Dan. 4:15) indicates that the king would be restored to the throne. However, that restoration would not take place till Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged God’s sovereign right to rule (that heaven rules).

My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 22:19

My Sheep Hear My Voice- Rev. 22:19

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

And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. Rev. 22:19

God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. Three possibilities:

1. Names taken from the book of life (Exo. 32:32-33; Psm. 69:20-29; Rev. 3:5)

2. Part taken out of the Holy City

3. Part taken out of the blessings written in this book

Daniel was told that his prophecies would be “sealed until the time of the end” (Dan. 12:9). But John was told not to seal up the words of these prophecies for the time to open Daniel’s prophecy is at hand. Again it should be emphasized that the viewpoint of some scholars that the Book of Revelation is an impenetrable puzzle is expressly contradicted by this and other passages. Revelation, both via its plain statements and its symbols, is designed to reveal facts and events relating to the second coming of Christ. The command not to seal this prophetic message is quite different than what the Lord told Daniel, "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end" (Dan 12:4). The reason for the difference in the instructions is simply stated, "the time is at hand." Until the death and resurrection of Christ, the time for this prophecy had not come. Since Jesus already opened the seven seals prophetically (Rev. 5 and 6) to reveal the future, it is only appropriate that the entire book remain open for us to read as well.

In contrast with Daniel, who was told to "seal" up his book of prophecy (since the end was still in the distant future, but here John is told to leave his book open (Seal not). The Messiah had come, His second coming is imminent, and thus now the time is at hand.

The reason for the difference in the instructions is that one lived after the time of Christ's crucifixion, the other before. In John's day it was possible to see the unfolding of the events prophesied; in Daniel's day they were a long way off.

The exhortation which follows has puzzled some. Those who do wrong and are vile are encouraged to continue to do so, and those who do right and are holy are encouraged to continue to do so (Rev. 22:11). The point here is not to condone what is evil, but to point out that if people do not heed this prophecy, they will continue in their wickedness. Verse 11 is not a command, but rather a statement of fact and a warning. Character tends to become fixed and unchangeable, determined by a lifetime of habitual action. The arrival of the end will prevent any change of destiny.

Those who hear the truth but continue to do wrong will by that hardened response fix their eternal destiny in hell. Conversely, those who continue to practice righteousness and keep him himself holy give evidence of genuine saving faith.

When Christ returns, the deliberate choice of each person will have fixed his eternal fate.

We cannot cover up from God. God sees into the heart. If you are a sinner, He already knows it. You do not have to tell Him. If you belong to Jesus, He knows that, too. Whatever you are down deep, Jesus already knows.

On the other hand those who do heed the prophecy will continue to do what is right. Relatively speaking, the time of the Lord’s return is near and no major changes in mankind’s conduct can be expected.

This is one of the most awesome challenges in the Word of God against tampering with Holy Writing. Far too many today glibly ridicule, detract from, and cast disparaging remarks on Holy Scripture. This is their day of opportunity, but their judgment will come upon them swiftly in God's good time. It is a fearful thing to disbelieve God, and it is unbelief that causes someone to detract from His Holy Word.

Although this is not a reference to Bible believing commentators of the Word who mistakenly translate some passage and inadvertently minimize it. The Lord's warning here is addressed to those who engage in deliberate falsification or misinterpretation of Scripture, those who Paul denounces as corruptors of the Word of God (2 Cor. 2:17).

Still it does serve as a soul stirring challenge to those who have taken in hand to write and preach on this marvelous book.

A dual warning is given against adding to it or subtracting from it (cf. Deut. 4:2; 12:32; Pro. 30:6). How great will be the judgment of those who despise this book and relegate it to the mystical experiences of an old man, thereby denying that it is the inspired Word of God. Rejecting the Word of God is rejecting God Himself. And those who deny His promises of blessing and subtract from His truths will receive His judgment and will have no part in the tree of life or access to the holy city (cf. Rev. 22:14).

Romans Chapter 1 Vs. 25

God's Wrath on Unrighteousness

Abandoned to fornication

Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. Rom 1:25


In a sense this verse repeats the truth of Rom. 1:23, but it expresses more. The truth of God is not only the truth concerning God but also God’s truth concerning all things, including mankind. This truth is that people are creatures of God and can find true fulfillment only in worshiping and obediently serving God the Creator. A lie (lit., “the lie”) on the other hand says that the creature — angelic (Isa. 14:13-14; John 8:44) or human (Gen. 3:4-5) — can exist independent of God, self-sufficient, self-directing, and self-fulfilling. Mankind made himself his god in place of the true God. Because God the Creator is forever praised (in contrast with creatures who are undeserving of worship), Paul added Amen. This word transliterates in both Greek and English the Hebrew word meaning “so let it be.” As an affirmation, not a wish, it places approval on what has just been said.

Daniel Chapter 4 Vs. 25

Daniel Interprets the Second Dream

That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. Dan. 4:25

That they shall... The 6th prophecy in Daniel (Dan. 4:25-26, fulfilled). Next, Dan. 4:31.

they shall drive... Who actually did this is not stated. It was not his enemies, for they would have killed him. The vision concerned his enemies (Dan. 4:19) in the sense that his absence from the throne would be good news to them. He could not carry on any more invasions in such condition. His friends no doubt fulfilled this and protected him in his sojourn among the beasts. No new king was chosen in his stead. His kingdom was secure and waiting for him when he should become normal. His own son was regent during this insanity and he no doubt helped preserve the kingdom for him, which made possible the fulfilling of Dan. 4:26.

shall make thee... Grass and water is to be his menu.

and seven times... The word "times" is always used to mean a year. A very good example of that is time, times, and half a time; later on in the book of Daniel.

till thou know... Through this illness Nebuchadnezzar would come to acknowledge that the Most High is sovereign over the kingdoms of men and gives them to anyone He wishes.

The most High... The purpose in this is that Nebuchadnezzar will recognize God for who He really is.

and giveth it... He must learn that a man is king, because God made him king, and for no other reason.
