“But this is in your favor: You hate the evil deeds of the Nicolaitans, just as I do.” Revelation 2:6 The doctrine of the Nicolaitans was that if you believe in Jesus, you could sin all you wanted to and still go to heaven. We see this doctrine in our churches today. The lesson for…

“But I have this complaint against you. You don’t love me or each other as you did at first! Look how far you have fallen! Turn back to me and do the works you did at first. If you don’t repent, I will come and remove your lampstand from its place among the churches.” Revelation…

“I know all the things you do. I have seen your hard work and your patient endurance. I know you don’t tolerate evil people. You have examined the claims of those who say they are apostles but are not. You have discovered they are liars. You have patiently suffered for me without quitting.” Revelation 2:2-3…

To be sure, all Scripture speaks of the Savior, but the book of Revelation especially magnifies the greatness and glory of Jesus Christ. The book is, after all, the revelation of Jesus Christ and not simply the revelation…

I have missed so much because I really did not want to study Revelation; it just never interested me. I know now that I missed so many blessings. We all miss many blessings that God wants to give us by just not doing what God tells us to do. We need to listen to God…

“Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this.  The mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you…
