The Holy City Revelation and End Times

The Holy City Revelation and End Times

When times end in Revelation, the Holy City comes down. John sees this phenomenon in chapter 21 of his book. As john describes the city, its beauty is absolutely magnificent. The colors radiating from the street, the walls, the gates and foundations capture ones imagination.

As the Holy City comes down and time on earth ends, John’s revelation is nearly complete. Although there’s another chapter left in his book, that chapter deals primarily with God’s final judgment.

The Holy City is presented as a bride, pure, holy, undefiled. The glory of God lights up the world because the sun, moon and stars have disappeared. Here, God presents all new things.

The construction of the city, its dimensions, is such that it can easily house billions of people. Although Jesus says in the Gospels, “Many are called but few are chosen.” The many represents the myriads of peoples who have inhabited the earth since the beginning of time. Therefore, compared to the billions of people called, the numbers who have accepted His call are few, indeed.

In addition to the brilliance of God’s glory shinning on the Holy City, the walls of clear jasper and the city’s street of Gold along with the varied colors of the foundation stones, reflect the glorious light everywhere. Not only is light reflected by all the brilliant colors, the translucent stones refract or bend the rays of light creating, if possible, ever greater beauty as well.

Revelation can be understood literally. More and more of the events of John's book are being made clearer as the planet earth spins ever closer and closer to the end times. Some of the items John describes that seemed figurative a few years back are suddenly being revealed by modern science. Events from his book that could never happen are possible today because of modern warfare.

Yes, John gives you a glimpse of the Holy City as times end in Revelation. What an awe inspiring sight. Can this be real? Is John merely hallucinating? Or is John actually given his vision from God? I believe all this to be real not fabricated. I believe that I will be there to witness this fantastic beauty when it finally occurs.

Revelation and The Two Riders on White Horses

There are two riders on white horses in Revelation and at the end times. The riders are discussed in Chapters 6 and 19; however, the two riders are diametrically opposed to each other.

The first of the two riders on white horses of end times and Revelation looks like one of the good guys. He will be seen as the darling of the world. He comes to conquer and make war. However, he will take control of the world through diplomatic processes and by improving the economy of the world.

The rider on this white horse will be able to do signs and wonders—miracles—even to the point of coming back to life after being killed in an early battle. He is none other than the anti-christ, and he will confuse and take in nearly the whole world by his miracles, his diplomacy and by war.

Then the second rider on a white horse in Chapter 19:11 of Revelation is revealed. The rider on this horse is called “faithful and true.” He will make war, but he will do so in righteousness. He will only attack the followers of evil who are so closely attached to the first white horse rider.

The second rider of Chapter 19 comes for one purpose, to save His people, the Jews. He brings salvation to them, Romans 11. Jesus completes his mission of destroying the works of the anti-christ, the rider on the first white horse. The anti-christ will oppose the Jews and Christian believers. Jesus comes to save them from destruction at the hands of the anti-christ.

Don’t be fooled! You can know the rider of the second white horse now. By knowing Him you do not need to worry about the rider of the other horse!

The Glorious End Times of Revelation

John writes in Revelation 22:20b, “. . .even so, Lord Jesus, come quickly.”

We have been adding things about Revelation and end times to our blog. Some entries make terrible descriptions of our world; while other entries are more to the positive side. Therefore, we wanted to add something real positive about Revelation.

Although John has seen visions of the destruction that man will inflict on the earth, i.e. the four horse riders of Chapter 6, here at the end of his book he encourages Jesus to let it all begin. He has seen the glories of heaven as well as the destruction of God’s creation.

With all the horrors of world destruction in mind, John wants to be with Jesus in a world that knows no pain, no suffering, no fear, no worries, only eternal bliss and beauty with God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost. He says, “I am ready for you to make all things new and right.”

The positive elements for you and me are that we will experience all this magnificence, glory and perfect peace when Jesus does return. Your prayer and mine should be, “Even so come quickly Lord Jesus.

At the time of which John writes of Jesus’ return, the world will be perfect because God has brought a new heaven and a new earth. He created the world perfect in the beginning, but the man, Adam, whom God created, gave God’s perfect creation to an imperfect caretaker, Satan.

Satan destroyed God’s perfect plan for a perfect creation. All this imperfection continued until Jesus died on the cross. He made a way for natural man to become a spiritual being for imperfection to become perfect (1 Corinthians 15:42-46).

When our Lord returns, you and I will see Him clearly because, “. . .we will be like Him” (1 John 3:2b). The day our imperfect vision is opened to perfection, we will see Jesus as He is and be like Him.

Our prayer is that you take comfort in this entry. We pray that you become like Him now while you have time, accept Jesus as Lord of your life, and be ready for Him when He does return.
