Bible Discussion Thread

I am taking some time out to read and study the whole book of revelation this month. I just want to comment on the first chapter, about what I got. First revelation was revealed to the apostle John through an angel. It came directly from God through, Jesus Christ. John wrote it in form of a letter. He addressed this letter to the seven churches in the country of Asia. I can appreciate this letter, because it is encouraging me as a Christian (Christ-Like) to resist the cult of emperor worship and to stand firm in persecution. Jesus said that He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, there is no in between. He had John write this letter to give us a chance to get and keep it right. He's sending warnings for us to get ourselves in order, or we will miss the mark, I know this is just the first chapter, but the book of revelation, is an fulfuillment of the things that are going on in our world today, Jesus is on His way back for the second coming, and He is giving everybody a chance to get it right, or we will be left behind. I suggest that everybody read and study the book of revelation, and take it very serious. I know some people say there scared to read the book of revelation, but that only means your scared, because your not ready, but why be scared when all you have to do is make your calling and election sure, and allow God to work all that out of you in Jesus name.
