Be Ready!

     Imagine John trying to describe the angels, the sounds and the colors of the throne room in heaven. God allowed Him a visit right before Christ unrolls the scroll that describes the last 7-year tribulation that will destroy most of the earth and its inhabitants.

     The unimaginable devastation is preceded in John’s vision by a picture of the glorified Christ and the overwhelming majesty of the throne room of heaven. John, who walked with Jesus through His three-year ministry, and was the only disciple to stand at thc cross and witness Christ’s suffering, now sees the result. Jesus, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the First and the Last, is in heaven interceding for us until we arrive forever.

The hair on His head was white like wool, white as snow, and His eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In His right hand He held seven stars, and coming out of His mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance. When I saw Him I fell at my feet as though dead. Then He placed His right hand and me and said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. Revelation 1:14-17

     Praise the glorified Christ. When we enter His presence with praise, He enters our circumstances with power. Let go of your burdens and give it to the One, glorified Christ. He says, “Do not be afraid.”

Jesus,

We can only imagine what it will be like to see You in heaven. Thank you for allowing us access into the throne room of heaven, where you promise to receive our prayers. You were there at the beginning and You will be the One to culminate all things.

Amen
