The LORD has really been showing me today the importance of studying the end times, and especially the book of Revelation. I really believe that, that very subject is on His heart.
I have been reading it and meditating on it and just meditating on the verse verse really, you see the importance of it. I feel led to just tell you what I have gotten out of it today, not to show off, because it is really simple to understand. Just a little part, it says at the very beginning,
"The Revelation(notice capitalization) of Jesus Christ, which God(The Father) gave Him to show His bond-servants..."
I was listening to the Holy Spirit, who is our teacher, and He just showed me things like the Book of Revelation was a gift to Jesus, and Jesus wants to give it to us as a gift. The way we look at this book, and the way we perceive it effects our entire lives, I am convinced that we can fully understand this book. The only catch is this, and it really isn't a catch, it says clearly that the Father gave the book of Revelation to Jesus to show His BOND-SERVANTS.
What is a bond-servant?
A bond-servant is-a person who is bond to service without wage.
A slave.
What does it mean for us to be bond-servants to Jesus?
The way I look at it and perceive it is pretty much the definition, it is completely giving ourselves to Jesus in service--VOLUNTARILY-- without expecting something in return. For me, just being able to serve the King of Glory is an honor and a privilege. He doesn't need servants, and really He doesn't need us, but HE WANTS US. He wants us to know what He is doing in the earth, and that is one reason why the Book of Revelation is a gift.
Because of the book of Revelation, we are able to partner with Jesus in the end times. It is a great honor.
So I want to encourage you to go deep into this book, and search it out, it is not too hard to understand. It is on Gods heart in this hour, and I am going to be willing and obedient(Is.1:19) to receive it as it is.
