Revelation 21:6-7

(Revelation 21:6-7)

 

『And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 』

 

Heaven is where the water of life flows. There are two places where humans die. It is heaven and hell. The place that lights up the darkness is the fire of hell. In heaven, there is light, not fire. What the light shines on is the water of life. God gives the water of life to those who are thirsty. God gives it to those who overcome. In the book of Revelation, salvation is the overcomer. The key to salvation is not to be forgiven of sins, but to overcome them. However, many church people today sin, confess, and sin. The flesh cannot overcome sin. All those who love the world are those who are in the flesh. Only those who are in the spirit can overcome sin. To those who overcome, God will say, "I am your God." This is the standard of those who overcome.

 

The Bible speaks of the standards of those who cannot overcome. In 21:8, 『But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. 』People in the world live without knowing like leprosy. God's standards remain unchanged. In verse 8, eight things are said, the first of which is those who fear. The second are those who do not believe. People don't know who they are. There are people who have not left Egypt in the church today, but there are many who do not want to enter Canaan. They are the people who live for the world. Heaven is next.

 

They are the ones who want to do well in the world and then hope for Heaven. The wilderness is a place of worship. Worship is the first. Moses told the people what the Lord had said, "Let my people worship." At that time, worship can be a situation where King Pharaoh kills. Even in the book of Revelation, "Fear the name of the Lord, worship him, and rejoice in him." But today it is the opposite. First, they seem to be enjoying themselves.

 

The devil is afraid of repentance. The boat Jesus was riding with his disciples was in a storm. But the Lord was sleeping. The disciples awoke Jesus for fear of the storm. Jesus rebuked, "Why are you afraid?" We know well that Jesus is the Son of God, but the disciples are reacting to the situation. We must convey the love of truth, not the truth of love. You must preach the truth. Then there will be persecution. Humans cannot know whether they have faith or not, but having a fearful heart is evidence that there is no faith from heaven. The Lord said, "Do not be afraid, just believe."

 

There are two conditions for repentance. The apostle Paul said before King Agrippa. I declared that all men who met Jews and met Greeks were under sin. So he conveyed his repentance to God and faith in our Lord Jesus. If you do not repent, Jesus will not give you the Lord's faith. But today they say, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you and your house will be saved." These words are spoken to the repentant and the regenerated. What was the first reason for saying this to the Philippian jailer? The story before that is important. He expelled a demon who made money, and Paul and Silas were held in prison for this. Bilibo tortured them. But they are praising in prison. Then the gate opened.

 

Those who repent do not respond to the things of the world and fear God. “Teacher, what can I do to be saved?” he said. It is to realize "I lived without knowing God, and I lived against God." Worship and repentance are all included in these words. Those who fear God do not fear the world. What I care about and worry about is that I am the owner. Those who repent come to fear only God.

 

In Revelation 13, the antichrist with ten horns and seven heads sets up his image (icon) all over the earth. Icon is an idol in Greek. Satan kills those who do not bow to it. Satan receives marks on his right hand and forehead. He makes him recognize his possessions. Only that will enable marketing. But in Chapter 14, those who bow to the beast or receive a mark or number are thrown into the lake of eternal fire.

 

In order to receive salvation, we must be born again with water and the Holy Spirit. It is the most valuable gift given only to those who repent. Salvation is as evident as the water of living water and the fire of hell. The light shines in heaven, and the river of living water flows. Salvation is heaven, otherwise it is hell. No matter what kind of situation the lives in this world are in, if you live in heaven, the river of water of life flows.

Revelation 3:7-13

(Revelation 3:7-13) And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write; These things saith he that is holy, he that is true, he that hath the key of David, he that openeth, and no man shutteth; and shutteth, and no man openeth;   I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.   Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.   Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.   Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will wri...

Revelation 2:12-17

(Revelation 2:12-17) And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;   I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.   But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.   So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.   Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone...

Revelation 2:1-7

(Revelation 2:1-7) Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;   I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.   He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, ...
