Revelation. Will you join me?
This will be the biggest memorization project I will have attempted. But I'm looking forward to hiding more of God's Word in my heart, and I've found that memorizing always helps me understand it better.
Revelation is where all the books of the Bible meet and end. Of all the New Testament books, it quotes the most extensively from the Old. In fact, about 70% of Revelation either directly quotes or alludes to Old Testament Scripture. Like apple juice concentrate, Revelation is a concentrate of the truths of the whole Bible. And the Scriptures, says Jesus, "are they which testify of Me" John 5:39. Indeed, the last pages in your Bible are "the Revelation [revealing] of Jesus Christ," the Divine. (Rev. 1:1)
A sweeping panorama of history, from the origin of sin to its final destruction in the lake of fire, Revelation reveals the heart of God toward this old, scarred world. Not only does it illuminate the past, but the future also. Through the fog of current events, Revelation cuts a clear path to the heavenly gates.
Too many strange symbols? A closed book? Hard to understand? “My son, if thou wilt receive My words, and hide My commandments with thee; So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; Then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God” Prov. 2:1-5.
Revelation is a message that God wants to give “unto His servants” concerning “things which must shortly come to pass” Rev. 1:1. Do you understand it?
“Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand” Rev. 1:3.
