The main character of the entire book of Revelation is the Lord Jesus Christ, in chapters 2 and 3 we saw the risen Lord from heaven addressing the churches on Earth. Now after chapter 4 the scenario changes completely, placing the readers in Heaven. The Apostle John sees a door open in heaven & a voice calls him “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.” He then sees a throne in heaven & heavenly worship.

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to Him to show to His servants things which must soon take place. He sent and signified it by His angel to His servant John, 2 who bears record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. 3 Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep those things which are written in it, for the time is near.

Recently I saw a picture that was posted in UN Twitter by MexOnu, on Nov.9th (or 9/11) “A guardian for international peace and security sits on the Visitor’s Plaza outside UN Headquarters.” The monument was first displayed at the Rockefeller Plaza with other pieces of Mexican art for the ‘Day of the Death‘ & before removed to put the Christmas tree, then the Mexican UN ambassador J.R De la Fuente asked to be displayed at the UN headquarters as a present for the organization. They say “the guardian is a fusion of jaguar and eagle , donated by the Government of Oaxaca, Mexico @MexOnu. It is created by artists Jacobo and Maria Angeles“. The sculpture was made by Zapotec artisans & the ambassador said that this sculpture, sent by Oaxacan Governor A. Murat, seeks to strengthen the presidency of Mexico in the Security Council of the United Nations, who was at a meeting in the UN at that time.
Romans 13:1 is another Bible verse that has been misused for so long & many Christians have accepted this verse not knowing, I know beause I was one of them. In a regular modern bible version it will read something like this:
“Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. “
Psalm 42
Reading or Listening . To the chief Musician, Maschil, for the sons of Korah.
Yearning for God in the Midst of Distresses
As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So pants my soul for You, O God.
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When shall I come and appear before God?
3 My tears have been my food day and night,
While they continually say to me,
“Where is your God?”
We are in the last days & the coming of our Lord Jesus is very near! We believers know this, not only because the Holy Spirit confirms it into our hearts, but also because we can see with our own eyes how some last days prophecies from the Word of God are been fulfilled right in our time.
