God's Throne

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, wonderful, Thanks, sure everything is turned up here. Okay,
Today I decided, well, I had a couple of topics
that were running through my mind to talk about today,

(00:23):
and I've been thinking about talking about heaven, and it
is too big of a topic for one spaces. So
I started talking thinking about talking about the throne of God.
And so hopefully this is really edifying, and let's start
with prayer. Heavenly Father, I ask you to teach us

(00:45):
from your word. Lord, Holy Spirit, please come and minister
to each one of us in Jesus' name. Thank you,
Father for the transforming process of the Word of God
taking place for every person who listens. In Jesus's name. Lord,
I is going to give me wisdom and revelation and
the knowledge of You, and that the things I say

(01:06):
would be a blessing in Jesus' name. Amen, Praise God.
So I went looking. Let's see here, there's so much.
There's so many directions I did not ignore. I did
not organize my thoughts ahead of time. But yeah, we'll see,

(01:27):
maybe I'll maybe I'll leave some of that. So I
guess one thing I could say is that there is
a particular verse that prompted this, which was Revelation for three,
which talks about the appearance of the Lord. And in
Revelation four three, I'll read a few different translations. I

(01:48):
think one of them is, he who sat there was
like a jasper and a Sardius stone in appearance, and
there was a rainbow around the throne in appearance like

(02:09):
an emerald. So this is describing the Lord that he's
described like a jasper and a Sardius stone in appearance,
and that there's a rainbow around his throne which looks
like an emerald. Okay, So I want to first point
out Sardius is spelled srdi us. Okay, hmm. Amplified says,

(02:49):
let me get Revelation four a bunch of chapters of
revelation prepared open on my computer. Okay, well, revelation uh
four to three In the amplified says, he who sat
there appeared like the crystalline sparkle of a Jasper stone

(03:10):
and the fiery redness of a Sardias stone, and encircling
the throne there was a rainbow that looked like the
color of an emerald. Hmm. Praise God. And uh yeah,
I don't actually think I'm going to go too too
many translations. Let me get a literal. Marian literal says,

(03:35):
and the one sitting in appearance was like jasper and
Carnelian stone, and a rainbow was around the throne in
appearance like an emerald. Young's literal says, and he who
was sitting was in sight like a stone jasper and sardine,
and a rainbow was round the throne in sight like

(03:56):
an emerald. Praise the Lord. Okay, yeah, I want to
kind of stick to There's there's a number of insights
on thrones in general, but I want to pretty much

(04:19):
focus on the Lord's throne. So let me see here.
One thing I will share is from some ninety seven
to two. Let's see, let me get uh so cloud Okay,
I'm just finding my translation. I'm sorry, some ninety seven

(04:42):
to two clouds and darkness around him. Righteousness and justice
are his thrones foundation. So righteousness and justice are the
foundation of his throne. That is Psalm ninety seven, verse two.
So there's another reference. The Bible talks about this. The
Bible talks about how things are established in the mouth

(05:06):
of two or three witnesses. So this is important to
the Lord to establish this. It's also found in Psalm
eighty nine. Psalm eighty nine is really good about the
throne of God in general. If you have some time
and want to jot it down to read it, or
if you want to turn to it in your audio Bible,

(05:28):
I recommend Psalm eighty nine. I'm going to go to
verse fourteen. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne.
Mercy and loving, kindness and truth go before your face, Hollylujah. Okay.
So righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne.

(05:51):
So think about how God is love. So the throne
or the authority is founded. Which love sits on right
is the foundation of that throne of authority is righteousness

(06:16):
and justice. These things are important to remember because of
such brokenness and ignorance in general human society, even in civilization,
about what authorizes people, what authorizes authority, what's the basis

(06:40):
for authority, what is the motive for authority? All this
kind of stuff. And Jesus told us you can look
it up. I won't give you the reference. You can
look it up if you're interested. Jesus talked about how
in the system of this world, their rulers Lord it
over them. And so it's important to understand the difference

(07:05):
in between the way the system of this world works
and the way the Kingdom of God works. And Jesus
said it should it shall not be so among you,
for whoever desires to be great in the Kingdom of
God to be a servant, and the one who desires
to be greatest will be the servant of all. In fact,

(07:26):
one translation I think my Bible, the translation of the
Bible that I use regularly, if I'm recalling correctly, it
says slave of all. It's an eye opener. Going to
the teachings of Jesus. Learning what the Lord actually said
is an eyeopener. Especially well, I won't even go again.

(07:49):
Let's not go down that road. Let's keep things on
the upside. Hallelujah. Okay, So I want to highlight Psalm nine.
Psalm nine is also good on the Throne of God.
I'm going to start with verse four. For you have
maintained my right and my cause. You sat on the

(08:12):
throne judging righteously. Wow. How many people look to the
Lord to stand up for them right? Wow, praise Scott.
Verse five, you have rebuked the nations. You have destroyed
the wicked. You have blotted out their name forever and ever.

(08:34):
Verse six, The enemy have been cut off and vanished.
I feel like I'm not seeing subject and verb agreement.
Give me a moment, please. The enemy have been cut
off and have vanished in everlasting ruins. I don't know

(08:56):
what my problem is. I feel like it should say
the enemy has been or the enemies have been moving
on verse six, the enemy have been cut off and
have vanished in everlasting ruins. You have plucked up and
overthrown their cities. The very memory of them has perished
and vanished. You know what comes to mind about that is,

(09:18):
I don't remember what psalmon is. There's a verse in
the Psalms that says, I would okay, I would have
despaired unless I had believed that I would see the
goodness of the Lord in the land of the Living.
Praise God. We get to believe Amen verse seven. But

(09:41):
the Lord shall remain and continue forever. He has prepared
and established his throne for judgment. We need as humans,
We need God's justice and judgment as a part of
our lives and society, And a lot of times I

(10:02):
think people think of that simply in the context of punishment.
But the Word of God says that riches do not
profit in the day of wrath, but righteousness delivers from death.
And that He made him who knew no sin to

(10:23):
be sin on our behalf. Let me get it. I
don't want to stumble over the smaller words Second Corinthians
five twenty one. I'm going to get a simpler translation.

(10:43):
Give me a moment, please, new American standard. Let's do
that He made him who knew no sin to be
sin in our behalf, so that we might become the
righteousness of God in him. Going to look up another
verse just for that extra little confirmation that we all

(11:05):
like to have. Right, just talking about things being confirmed
in the mouth of two or three witnesses. Let's look
at Philippians three nine, and may be found in him,
not having a righteousness of my own derived from the law,
but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness
which comes from God on the basis of faith. Glory

(11:28):
to God. So judgment and justice can be thought of
in terms of vindication. Right, we share the judgment of
our God. We pick our God, and we share his
judgment in eternity and Jesus is the one who has

(11:53):
been judged perfect and worthy, and so we want to
be found in him, because the ruler of this world
has been judged and he is guilty, guilty, guilty, don't
go with him. Okay, moving on, let's keep looking. Yeah,

(12:14):
these things, I'm not going to I don't know that
I'm going to take the time for these things that
pertain to other types of thrones, even though they're so good.
I think I might just let me x out of these.
Actually think I'm going to concentrate on God's throne for now. Okay,
So let's look and see. So there are some different

(12:37):
descriptions in the Bible about people who had visions of
the Lord and saw his throne and things like that,
and I thought it would be really fun to look
those up and just have them fresh in our minds,
just go over them, and so, okay, so here we go.
So let's go with Isaiah six. First. It says the

(13:01):
prophet Isaiah, who recorded one of his spiritual experiences in
the year that King Eusiah died. In a vision, I
saw the Lord sitting upon a throne high and lifted up,
and the skirts of his train filled the most holy
part of the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each

(13:23):
had six wings, with two each covered his own face,
and with two each covered his feet, And with two
each flew, and one cried to another and said, Holy, Holy, Holy,
is the Lord of hosts. The whole earth is full
of his glory. Okay, So what goes on here is

(13:45):
in the Bible. There in the original language, there are
punctuation marks to show emphasis that we don't use in English.
So when you see repetition like verily, verrely or holy,
holy Holy, so the two words that the repetition two

(14:08):
times is emphasis, the repetition three times is utmost highest emphasis.
So perhaps to give a rudimentary, kind of crude example,
we could think of the Microsoft program word and how
you know, back in the day, you would pull up

(14:29):
your document and if you wanted to emphasize a certain
word in the text, you could underline it, or you
could bold it, or you could italicize it. So what
this is kind of could be maybe compared to, is
if you were to do all three, if you were
to bold and underline and italicize for maximum you know,

(14:54):
the maximum choices in your word document to highlight for
emphasis so this holy, holy, Holy is actually one word
marked for highest emphasis, highest impact. Okay, So the verse
three and one cried to another and said, holy is

(15:14):
the Lord of Hosts. The whole earth is full of
his glory. I won't shout into my recording, but basically
this is an intense declaration. Holy is the Lord of hosts,
the whole earth is full of His glory. So verse
four and the foundations of the thresholds shook at the

(15:37):
voice of him who cried, and the house was filled
with smoke. Mm. And then it talks about basically Isaiah's
commissioning and what God sent him to do. It's a
beautiful story that's in Isaiah six. Okay, so done. Maybe

(16:01):
we'll do thinking, thinking, thinking, Maybe we'll do Daniel next. Okay,
Daniel chapter seven. Okay, how fascinating. Daniel is such an
interesting gentleman, my my mid One of the most beautiful, special,
interesting things to me about Daniel is that I believe,

(16:28):
because I don't believe that Daniel was on some vacation
or some business trip when King Nebukinezer did his whole
thing with the Golden statue. I believe that Daniel was
one of the ones that bowed down to it, and
that he watched shad Reck Mishek and a Bendigo get
delivered and experienced the demonstration of God's power, and that
he allowed this to profoundly affect him, and that he

(16:52):
came back to go ahead and be willing to die
for his faith and the lion's den to When he
was faced with do or die, he chose to risk
death to stand for the Lord. So it came back around,
but he did not waste his time. In the meantime,

(17:16):
he applied himself and prepared for I mean, I'm I'm
not super experienced and I'm not super knowledgeable, but if
I'm totally open on this recording, the truth is I
think that he even received an opportunity to face that

(17:40):
again by using his faith, demonstrating his faith, that his
pursuit his you know, faith without works is dead being alone.
That his faith with his works position prepared like was

(18:04):
connected to like drew out or made possible the second opportunity.
There's a lot of things that the Bible talks about
faith doing. I haven't learned that much about it yet.
I think that I have a lot to learn. I
want to go back to Hebrews eleven at some point

(18:25):
in my life and circle back to the various types
of things that are achieved by faith. But for now Daniel,
Chapter seven. Okay, in the first year of bel Shazar,
king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions in
his head as he was lying upon his bed. Then
he wrote down the dream and told the gist of

(18:48):
the matter. Could you imagine being a friend of Daniel
the stuff that he the various types of things that
you might hear any given day. Daniel said, I saw
in my vision by and behold, the four winds of
the heavens were stirring up the great sea. Okay, if
you don't know, the waters can be are sometimes used

(19:13):
in the Bible as like a parable or illustration of humanity.
So I won't go too much into that. I'm not
super knowledgeable. I'm a Bible student much more than a
Bible teacher. But I will share and mention that you know, okay.
Verse three, and the four great beasts came up out
of the sea in succession and different from one another.

(19:37):
The first was like a lion and had eagles wings.
I looked till the wings of it were plucked, and
it was lifted up from the earth and made to
stand upon two feet as a man, and a man's
heart was given to it. Wow, and behold another beast.
A second one was like a bear, and it raised

(19:58):
up itself on one side, and three ribs were in
its mouth between its teeth, and it was told a rise,
devour much flesh. After this I looked and behold another
like a leopard, which had four wings of a bird
on its back. The beast also had four heads, and
dominion was given to it. And after this I saw

(20:21):
in the night visions and behold a fourth beast, terrible, powerful, dreadful,
and exceedingly strong. And it had iron teeth. It devoured
and crushed and trampled what was left with its feet.
And it was different from all the beasts that came
before it, and it had ten horns. I considered the horns,

(20:44):
and behold there came up among them another horn, a
little one, before which three of the first horns were
plucked up by the rooks. And behold in this horn
were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a
mouth boasted great things. I kept looking until thrones were placed,
and the ancient of days took his seat, whose garment

(21:10):
was white as snow, and the hair of his head
like pure wool. His throne was like the fiery flame.
Its wheels were burning fire. A stream of fire came
forth before him. Excuse me, A stream of fire came
forth from before him. A thousand thousands ministered to him,

(21:32):
and ten thousand times ten thousand rose up and stood
before him. The judge was seated, and the books were opened. Okay,
so I'm not going to keep going with Daniel seven,
because I think it might be important here to go
to the particular passage in Revelation. Okay, Yes, let's go

(21:58):
to Revelation twenty, starting with verse eleven. Then I saw
a great white throne, and the one who was seated
upon it, from whose presence and from the sight of
whose faith, face, earth and sky fled away, and no
place was found for them. That will be an interesting

(22:22):
That will be interesting. I also saw the dead, great
and small. They stood before the throne, and books were opened.
Then another book was opened, which is the Book of Life,
and the dead were judged by what they had done
in accordance with what was recorded in the books. So just,

(22:43):
but so just, so good and also, doesn't it seem
like it will be awful to I don't know how
to say it right verse thirteen. And the seed delivered
up the dead who were in it. Deaf and haites
surrendered the dead and them and all were tried. Their
case is determined by what they had done. Then death

(23:07):
and hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This
is the second death, the lake of Fire. If anyone's
name was not found recorded in the Book of Life,
he was hurled into the lake of fire. It is
a really big deal to be saved born again. Jesus
is my Lord. That is a really big deal to

(23:29):
get handled taken care of. Okay, Yeah, I'm just going
to see about looking at Revelation two wenty two. Actually,
I'll do Ezekiel. So there's some fun stuff in the
Book of Ezekiel. Ezekiel also had visitations of the Lord

(23:54):
and let me see here ooh gonna accept code name. Ah, okay,
so Ezekiel chapter one, and yeah, I'll go for a

(24:18):
little bit. In Ezekiel chapter one. Now, when I was
in my thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the
fifth day of the month, as I was in the
midst of captivity beside the river Chabar, the heavens were opened,
and I saw visions of God. On the fifth day

(24:40):
of the month, which was in the fifth year of
King Jehoyakin's captivity, the word of the Lord came expressly
to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Bouzi, and the
land of the Chaldeans by the river Chabar, and the
hand of the Lord was there upon him. As I looked, behold,
a stormy wind came out of the and a great

(25:01):
cloud with a fire enveloping it and flashing continually. A
brightness was about it, and out of the midst of
it there seemed to glow amber metal. Out of the
midst of the fire, and out of the midst of
it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this
was their appearance. They had the likeness of a man,

(25:21):
but each had four faces, and each one had four wings.
Their legs were straight legs, and the soule of their
feet was like the soul of a calve's foot, and
they sparkled like burnished bronze. And they had the hands
of a man under their wings on their four sides,
and four of them had their faces and their wings.

(25:42):
Thus their wings touched one another. They turned not when
they went, but when everyone straightforward. As for the likeness
of their faces, they each had the face of a
man in front. Each had the face of a lion
on the right side, the face of an eye on
the left side. Each also had the face of an

(26:03):
eagle at the back of their heads. Such were their faces,
and their wings were stretched out upward. Two wings of
each were touching the adjacent wing of the creatures on
either side of it, and the two remaining wings of
each creature covered its body. And they went, everyone straightforward.
Wherever the spirit would go, they went, and they turned

(26:27):
not when they went. In the midst of the living creatures,
there was what looked like burning coals of fire, like
torches moving to and fro among the living creatures. The
fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning.
I would say the Lord is dramatic, but I think

(26:49):
a better word is impressive. Yes, the Lord is impressive. Okay,
here we go verse fourteen, And the living creatures darted
back and forth like a flash of lightning. Now, as
I was still looking at the living creatures, I saw
one wheel upon the ground beside each of the living
creatures with its four faces. As to the appearance of

(27:13):
the wheels and their construction an appearance, they gleamed like chrysolite,
and the four were formed alike. In their construction work was,
as it were, a wheel within a wheel. When they went,
they went in one of their four directions, without turning,
for they were faced that way. As for their rims,

(27:36):
they were so high that they were dreadful, and the
fore had their rims full of eyes. Round about this,
I'll just keep going. And when the living creatures went,
the wheels went beside them. And when the living creatures
were lifted from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.

(27:56):
Wherever the spirit went, the creatures went, and the wheels
rose along with them. For the spirit or life of
the four living creatures, acting as one living creature, was
in the wheels. When those went, these went, When those stood,
these stood, And when those were lifted up from the earth,
the wheels were lifted up high beside them. For the

(28:18):
spirit or life of the combined living creatures was in
the wheels. Over the head of the combined living creatures,
there was the likeness of a firmament, looking like the terrible,
awesome dazzling of shining crystal or ice stretched across the
expanse of sky. Over their heads, under the firmament, their

(28:42):
wings were stretched out straight, one toward another. Every living
creature had two wings which covered its body on this side,
and two which covered it on that side. And when
they went I heard the sound of their wings, like
the noise of great wool, like the voice of the almighty,
the sound of tumult, like the noise of a host.

(29:06):
When they stood, they let down their wings, and there
was a voice above the firmament that was over their heads.
When they stood, they let down their wings, and above
the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness
of a throne, an appearance like a sapphire stone. And
seated above the likeness of a throne was a likeness

(29:28):
with the appearance of a man. From what had the
appearance of his waist upward, I saw a luster as
it were, glowing metal, with the appearance of fire, and
closed round about within it. And from the appearance of
his waist downward, I saw, as it were, the appearance
of fire, And there was brightness round about him, like

(29:50):
the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud
on the day of rain. So was the appearance of
the brightness round about. This was the appearance of the
likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I
saw it, I fell upon my face and I heard
a voice of one speaking. Isn't that extravagant? And just wow? Yeah,

(30:17):
I don't even want to talk that much. Actually, let
me keep going with the word. Another place where it
talks about it is Ezekiel, chapter ten, and that is

(30:38):
also so interesting. But I don't think I'm going to
read it on this recording. I think I'm going to
leave it for you if you're intrigued. I even suggest
I do. I do audio Bible, just like when I'm
falling asleep, or when I'm waking up, or when I'm resting,
or when I'm working around the house, and so I

(31:02):
recommend audio Bible. And Ezekiel seems to me, well, okay,
So I've been listening to the Gospels also the Letters
of Paul, and I parked on psalmone nineteen for quite
some time years ago. But Ezekiel seems to me like

(31:23):
a book that would be quite lovely to listen to
on audio Bible. Okay, So let us. I'm kind of
looking at Hebrews chapter one, and you know what I

(31:44):
will mention Hebrews chapter one, verse eight. I'll just read
that verse, but if you want to go to one
and get it more in context, by all means, please
do so. This is God the Father talking to Jesus
about his throne. If you don't know that there were
specific things promised to Jesus by God the Father and

(32:09):
connection to like as rewards as outcomes of his fulfillment
of that, I use the term passion. Passion of the

(32:30):
Christ is suffering in our place, his fulfillment of all
that was required, including using his faith, by the way,
Jesus became sin on the cross by faith. He had
no sin of his own. He became the curse on
the cross by faith. He'd never experienced the curse personally.

(32:55):
Like that, he became the curse on the cross so
much that I could say anyway, his fulfillment of all
that was required to secure what God wanted, what God

(33:17):
wanted to do Ah, that was that was something that
Jesus knew of in advance. And there are specific scriptures
that mention different things about that. And Hebrews one eight
is one of them. Okay, But as to the son,
he says to him, your throne, O, God is forever

(33:40):
and ever to the ages of the ages, and the
scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of absolute righteousness.
Praise God. Let's go to verse nine. Vers is good too.
You have loved righteousness and you have hated lawless. Therefore, God,

(34:01):
your God, has anointed you with the oil of exalt
and joy and gladness above and beyond your companions. Praise God.
Reminds me of Jesus asking the religious leaders of his time,
if the Messiah is David's son, why does David call

(34:27):
him lord? Jesus is God?

Speaker 2 (34:30):
Okay, um, bum i am.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
I'm going to read from Revelation chapter one. Actually, I yeah,
and okay, So I'll read a little bit, a little
bit from Revelation. I want to be conscious of your time.
There's plenty to learn about the throne of God in
heaven in the book of Revelation, but there's two remaining

(35:04):
parts that I will read from. So Revelation chapter one,
I'm going to start with verse ten. I was in
the spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind
me a great voice like the calling of a war trumpet, saying,
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and

(35:25):
the last. Write promptly what you see in a book,
and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia,
to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamum, and to
Thia Tyra, and t t. Sardis, into Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.
Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking

(35:46):
to me, And on turning I saw seven golden lamp stands,
and in the midst of the lamp stands like a
son of man, clothed with a robe which reached to
his feet, and a girdle of gold about his breast.
His head and his hair were white, like white wool

(36:06):
as snow, and his eyes like a flame of fire.
His feet glowed like burnished bronze as it is refined
in a furnace. And his voice was like the sound
of many waters. In his right hand he held seven stars,
and from his mouth there came forth a sharp, two

(36:28):
edged sword. Remember that's the sword the Holy Spirit, which
is the word of God. Okay. And his face was
like the sun shining in full power at midday. When
I saw him, I fell at his feet as if dead.
But he laid his right hand on me and said,

(36:48):
didn't be afraid. I am the first and the last
and the other living one. I died, but see I
am alive forever more, and I possessed the keys of
death and hades. Right Therefore, the things you see, what
they are, and what is to take place hereafter? What

(37:10):
is to take place hereafter? Praise God. Okay, back to
the Bible verse twenty as to the hidden meaning of
the seven stars which you saw in my right hand,
and the seven lamb stands of gold. The seven stars
are the seven angels messengers of the seven assemblies, and
the seven lamp stands are the seven churches. Blessed be

(37:33):
the name of the Lord. Let's look at Revelation twenty two.
Let's just start with first one. Then he showed me
the river. Remember, out of God's throne flows the river
of lighte Okay, so this is talking about that Revelation
twenty two. Then he showed me the river whose waters
give life, sparkling like crystal, flowing out from the throne

(37:55):
of God and of the lamb through the middle of
the broadway of the city. Also on either side of
the river was the tree of life, with its twelve
varieties of fruit, yielding each month its fresh crop, and
the leaves of the tree were for the healing and
the restoration of the nations. There shall no longer exist

(38:18):
there anything that is a cursing, But the throne of
God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and
his servants shall worship him. They shall see his face,
and his name shall be on their foreheads. To keep going.
I keep going for a little bit, and there shall

(38:38):
be no more night. They have no need for lamp
light or sunlight, for the Lord God will illuminate them
and be their light. And they shall reign as kings
forever and ever through the eternity of the eternities. And
He of the seven angels further said to me these
statements are reliable and uine. And the Lord, the God

(39:02):
of the spirits of the prophets, has sent his messenger
to make nome and exhibit to his servants what must
soon come to pass. And behold, I am coming speedily.
Blessed is he who observes, lays to heart, and keeps
the truths of the prophecy contained in this book.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
HMM.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
Praise God. Actually I'm just gonna keep going. It so good, okay.
And I John am he who heard and witnessed these things.
And when I heard and saw them, I fell prostrate
before the feet of the angel who showed them to me,
to worship him. But he said to me, refrain, I
am a fellow servant, along with yourself, and with your

(39:49):
brother and the prophets, and with those who are mindful
of and practice the messages of this book. Worship God.
He told me, do not seal up the words of
the prophecy of this book. Make no secret of them,
for the time when things are brought to a crisis
and the period of their fulfillment is near. He who

(40:11):
is unrighteous, let him be unrighteous. Still. He who is filthy,
let him be filthy. Still. He who is righteous, let
him do right. Still, He who is holy, let him
be holy. Still. Behold, I'm coming soon, and I shall
bring my wages and rewards with me to repay and
render to each one just what his own actions and

(40:33):
his own work merit. Woo, Praise God, Praise God, Praise God. Okay.
I Ah, I'm just gonna keep going, because there's this
one warning that's really good to receive and to hear. Okay,
Moving on verse thirteen, I'm the Alpha and the Omega.

(40:56):
The first and the last. Blest are those who lends
their garments that they may have the authority and right
to the Tree of life and to enter through the
gates into the city. Hmm. But without are the dogs
and those who practice sorceries and impurity, and the murderers

(41:17):
and idolaters, and everyone who loves and deals in falsehood.
I Jesus have sent my messenger to you to witness
and to give to you assurance of these things. For
the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David,
the Radiant, brilliant morning Star, the Spirit, and the Bride.

(41:39):
Say come and let him who is listening, say come,
and let everyone come who is thirsty, and whoever desires
to do it, Let him come, take appropriate drink the
water of life without cost. I warn everyone who listens
to the statements of the prophecy in this book, if

(42:03):
anyone shall add anything to them, God will add lay
upon him the plagues that are recorded described in this book.
If anyone cancels or takes away from the statements of
the book of this prophecy, God will cancel and take
away from him his share in the Tree of Life

(42:25):
and in the City of Holiness, which are described and
promised in this book. He who gives this warning affirms
testifies to these things, says, Yes, I'm coming quickly. Amen. Yes, come,
Lord Jesus the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be
with all the saints. Amen. Does it get any more

(42:51):
beautiful than that? I hope you tremendously enjoyed that that
it refreshes and blesses you so much. I thank you
for listening. I will be with you again soon.
