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.
