“And when I saw him, I fell at His feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last” (Rev.1.17).
As we see the end time approaching we should read the book of Revelation again and again. The message of this book is especially written to those who want to overcome. Divide this book into seven parts. You will see the Lord Jesus Christ giving a seven-fold glimpse of His glory: Chapter 1 gives a glimpse of the glory of His person. Chapter 2-3 show His glory revealed in His Church upon the earth. In chapter 4-5, we have a glimpse of the glory of the Heavenly Church. Chapter 6-9 reveal a glimpse of the glory of His throne. Chapter 10-19 show the glory of His judgments. Chapter 20; the last part of this chapter shows the glory of His great white throne. Chapter 21-22: in these we have a seven-fold glimpse of the glory of the new creation.
This book is the book of Glory—the Glory of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the prince of peace and also the God of glory. The first thing we see is that the Lord gave John a vision of Himself. Are you feeling downcast? Are you facing problems? Ask the Lord to give you a new glimpse of His Glory.
When you see the Lord face to face, He will answer every question of yours. It does not matter how complicated your problems may be, they will disappear when you get a new glimpse of Him and His glory. Then you too like John will fall down at His feet.
