Thoughts on reading REVELATION
If we love God, spend time with Him just like we are in love with someone, we will definitely want to spend time with him or her. We do not want to miss any opportunity to see him or her, or to talk to him or her.
I am disciplining myself to read 1 chapter of REVELATION everyday despite the busy schedule. I ask God to help me because I cannot do it with my strength. My dear brothers and sisters are spending time with God as well because they love Him.
A quiz
Chapter 1:
Is this book a revelation, prophecy, or a letter?
Where was John when he wrote this book?
What did John see?
What was he asked to do?
What is the purpose of reading this book?
Chapter 2-3:
How many churches were there?
Were there praises or rebukes or nothing from the Lord to the churches?
How many time this line had occurred "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches"?
My reflection - I have similar experience as the churches then in the minor Asia. As I read about the church in Ephesus, I realize I have forsaken the first love. I din spent quality time with God. Most of the time, I am in a rush, and just say "Hi" to God and start the day without God. Sometimes I feel bored or I don’t feel like meeting God. I am truly remorseful. I want to repent and go deep in the fellowship with God once again.
Chapter 4-5:
What did John see in the heaven?
Who was the ONE that seated on the throne?
Who was the ONE who opened the scroll? Why?
Who is taking control of the human history? Who is He?
Just some thoughts and put it down to help me to remember.
