Discuss Revelation 22 Page 29

Why are the churches not teaching that we will be on the earth with Christ at his coming to help him correct the wrongs on the earth. And to rule with him. The nations will not know it is him when he comes.

Dear Jim, read Ezekiel 28:13,14 and that will give you the light on this subject matter. Jesus is the Bright and Morning Star. We must be careful not to add or subtract from the Word of God. Accept it by faith. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God. ( Romans 10:17)
May the Lord bless you richly.

which interpretation is correct for Jesus identity - '..the bright morning star' OR '...the bright AND morning star'
Lucier is also called the '...morning star'.

read the word of god

AND I JOHN SAW THESE THINGS AND HEARD THEM AND WHEN I HAD HEARD AND SEEN I FELL DOWN TO WORSHIP BEFORE THE FEET OF THE ANGEL WHICH SHEWED ME THESE THINGS.THEN SAITH HE UNYO ME SEE THOU DO IT NOT FOR I AM THY FELLOWSERVANT AND OF THY BRETHREN THE PROPHETS AND OF THEM WHICH KEEP THE SAYINGS OF THIS BOOK WORSHIP GOD

The water of life means a guaranteed income, because the wage system is slavery, a temporary income, & usually too small to live on.

Yes it is true the Godhead is a mystery however in many scriptures Christ identifies Himself as God.
John 14:8-9
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?

Revelation 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

Isaiah says it best of all.

Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

I’m very grateful to have such references on how to love God with all my heart, better myself in God’s eyes, and serve him alone. With regard to Revelation 22:19, I give glory to God hence he gave great warnings as for anyone who wishes to recite or teach any preaching or any other lecture not to twist, tangle, misconstrue, alter etc.., the words of ‘the prophecies of the bible’: that may cause the Lord’s true followers to be confused with misunderstandings of the true word of God! Most important since this command is located near end of Bible, it’s one that sticks to you to obey; it gives off a very important spiritual closing!!!

The King James Version is the only true bible. All the others are bogus. God said in Revelation 22:19 “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.” This book of life is with God in heaven.

This chapter is the summary and conclusion to Lord's love letter to all Mankind. As through all the bible, Jesus is drawing men to himself in love and admonition. Verse 19 refers to the Book of Life, this is the book of the redeemed, the lists of the saved, salvation is life, eternal. Just like in our courts we are asked to swear to speak "the whole truth, and nothing but the truth", God commands us to do the same with his word. Too many churches teach partial truth to stay popular, what you save with, you save unto. This is a warning to preachers, teachers, parents, believers, anyone sharing the Holy Word. God will not let His Word be cut short or have things left out. Salvation of souls depends on this. "The righteousness He requires is the righteousness; His righteousness requires Him to require".

I hope my church did not remove this information, and I will be asking. And I hope to get to read it. Thank you for the knowledge, and the wonderful site I have never seen a site so easy to use. Thank you. Becky.

@Yolanda,
God will take away his part out of the book of life simply means “God will cancel all the rewards that were prepared for that one”. This means if somebody takes from the word of God, or adds to the word of God, that one will be losing (forfeiting) his/her rewards that God has prepared for him/her in the book fo life.

What does it mean that “God will take away his part out of the book of life”?

Now I have a question for you: Do you know what the water of live is? Revelation 22:17.

While it can be regarded as an admonition against altering the words of this prophecy, it is far too often taken as a warning against altering the Bible in total, or at all. If that were true it would explain a lot of the woes befalling the Catholic Church after their removal of the Apocrypha. But obviously the writer was referring to his own writings, NOT the Holy Bible...which did not exist for another 1600 years.

I think all of Revelation has all the truth we need in this crazy world we live in. It's just more and more people need to read the 1611 King James Bible. Also I think if we should stop and listen to what God is trying to tell us, instead of doing our own things all the time.

It is clear now how Many Can misinterpret the lessons of the bible when its messages are clouded by metaphoric simulations.

It sure seems at times that we walk through the dry land. I'm currently reading a book called; when God Writes Your Love Story; It’s been a real encouragement. Just to think that it is all worth the fight, and the wait. Knowing that God is in control and that's all that matters.

I have been TRYING my best to walk this walk for years now. I do struggle at times when I read. Now I am not illiterate but sometimes my comprehension well, let’s say, is a bit rough. Anyway this morning I was prompted to go to Revelation 22 and when I started to read verse 5, it blessed my heart. I am one who always says I would live in a home of glass if I could just to get all the light I could. I love daylight hours and every part of the day. But when I read that there is no need for light, candle or sun it excited me...... Just to know that the Lord whom I try to serve is really ALL WE NEED, and he will ultimately give all I desire. Well it just blessed me today. I know that sounds simple but that’s ok with me. I have need of things here like anyone else. But to know that we have God and he is supplying for all my needs, well what more do we need than him. Thank you! Have a blessed day.

What I think about Revelation is, warning comes before destruction. The word says that behold I came quickly and my reward is with me. Please read Revelation 22:21.

Wesley's notes for Revelation 22:13. God did not say "I am THE Alpha and Omega" He is Alpha and Omega. When you use "the" you refer to something apart from Him (God). Alpha and Omega is not some sort of coat God puts on to be Alpha and Omega... HE IS ALPHA AND OMEGA! Amen!

The river of life- water is something every human has to have to survive. This is a symbol for us to know that our spiritual life flows from the throne of God forever. Now, we can eat of the tree of life because it allows the soul to live forever. In the garden of Eden, it wasn't time for man to live forever, so Adam and Eve were forever expelled from the garden for disobeying God's order to not eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Anyone here picking up on the green trees? It is also mentioned in Jeremiah 10:2-4. The Catholics adopted Tummuze’s birthday and called it Christ’s. The green trees we are warned about here are today called Christmas trees. This is a historical fact easily researchable. All preachers keeping Sunday and calling it the Lord’s day are false prophets. Mark 2:28, Jesus clearly calls himself Lord of the Sabbath. Again the Catholics in 364 made the Canon Law XX1X that punished Christians by death for keeping God’s/Jesus’ Sabbath and not worshipping on Sunday. About the 1260 years called the dark ages, Ezekiel 8:12-18 warns us about worshipping Tummuz and facing east, when the sun comes up. Tammuz is the Baal sun, god’s son. It's his birthday the pagans observed and the Catholics adopted. All I have written is historical fact and most Christians like me don't know. God blessed me just this year with eyes to see and ears to hear how most Christians including myself are deceived. Jesus warns us many times how many will call him Lord but he won't know them. He is talking about Christians, atheists and other religions that don't call him Lord. Revelation 22:18-19 warns us about what will happen to those who add or take away from scripture. Sunday is not the Lord’s day and it has never been hallowed and commanded to be kept holy and rested on. Anyone wanting websites with proof both from the bible and other websites, I will gladly forward from my email if you respond here. Be a Berean, and prove all things.

I feel that we should all know God’s name but we should not use it, after all you would not call your dad by his name would you, that would be disrespectful, likewise with God’s name. If it was real in the old manuscripts then it should not have ever been removed ( Revelation 22:18-19).

Revelation scriptures humble me. And I thank the Almighty God for it.

For I testify unto every man that heareth the word of the of this book, if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book; and if any man shall take away from the word 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. Revelation 22:18,19.

I think that it may be related to the Garden of Eden, when God made man in His image, Genesis 2:8, 3:23. Genesis 4:16 tells of Cain going to the land of Nod and starting a family, whom God had marked for other men not to slay him. Maybe that Revelation 22:15 could be talking about that. Outside the Garden. Thank you and please write back to tell me what you think. Hope I expressed myself right. JESUS IS MY LORD! David.

Regarding the removal of Jehovah's name from ANY Bible...I guess that they didn't read or understand Revelation 22:19.

@Afriyie,
The best explanation on why certain versions of the bible remove or add to God’s holy word (King James 1611 version) is the men behind these versions are bold enough to usurp authority over God’s authority. Men have been doing so since 1881 under the umbrella of reasoning that they are doing society a tremendous service of providing (or perverting) man with easier to read and understandable versions (I dare not call them bibles) sometimes good men of God doing the devil’s work with good so called intentions. All they really have accomplished is to add confusion and doubt into the very simplicity that is in Jesus Christ ( II Corinthians 11:3). There is still a remnant that believes in ( II Corinthians 2:17). Take heed from Revelation 22:18, Deuteronomy 4:2, Proverbs 30:6.

Please take the scriptures at his word. See Matthew 9:5-6 and Luke 23:43 "today" simply means that, that is when the statement was made, that day. Paradise also includes the Garden of Eden, (earthly restoration of the kingdom) Jesus is a spirit being; (born out of the spirit, is “spirit". John 3:6 after a spiritual church is complete, the earth, and the "thief" will be resurrected to a physical condition; understand and repent and be nourished to a perfect physical condition! No limited "physical" church can accomplish this! It has been tried, see 1Corinthians15:50 "kingdom", equals the government.. Revelation 22:1; 22:17.
