Internet Fair Use - St. John on Patmos by Gasper de Crayer
"Better is the end of a thing then the beginning thereof..." (Eccl. 7:8)
"The Revelation of Jesus Christ...to shew things which must shortly come to pass...." (Rev. 1:1)
A blessing is provided at the outset of John's letter:
"Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and (they that) keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand." (Rev. 1:3)
And at the very end of the book of Revelation:
"He that testifieth these things saith, Surely I come quickly. Amen.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen." (Rev. 22:20-21)
So, for simple emphasis, I repeat my message for today: "For the time is at hand...Even so come Lord Jesus!"
He who has ears to hear, let him listen.
JEM
