“‘Look, I am coming soon! Blessed are those who obey the words of prophecy written in this book.’
I John, am the one who heard and saw all these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me. But he said,’No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers the prophets, as well as all who obey what is written this in this book. Worship only God!’
Then he instructed me, ‘Do not seal up the prophetic words in this book, for a time is near. Let the one who is doing harm continue to do harm; let the one who is vile continue to be vile; let the one who is righteous continue to live righteously; let the One who is holy continue to be Holy.’
‘Look, I am coming soon, bringing My reward with me to repay people according to their deeds. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the last, the Beginning and the End.’
Blessed are those who wash their robes. They will be permitted to enter through the gates of the city and eat the fruit from the tree of life. Outside the city are the dogs – the sorcery, the sexually immoral, the murders, the idol worshipers, and all who love to live a lie. (Revelation 22: vv. 1-15, NLT)
