*I recently received in the mail a brochure that told me of seven proven principles to guarantee my financial prosperity.  To receive these “principles of wealth”, all I needed to do was send a check for $29.95, and I’d soon be on the way to becoming a prosperous man.  No, I did not send for the principles, but it did make me think on the flip-side of this proposition . . . specifically, seven proven principles to guarantee financial poverty.  These principles I will share with you at “no charge”, and I promise you if you follow them you will find yourself in the poorhouse.

1.Poverty is promised if you buy things on credit you cannot afford, or you carry large multiple credit card balances over from month to month!  Proverbs 22:7 “The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.”

2.Poverty is promised when you co-sign on a financial contract for someone else guaranteeing payment!

Proverbs 17:18“A man devoid of understanding shakes hands in a pledge, and becomes surely for his friend.”

3.Poverty is promised when you steal God’s tithe and use it for anything else!  Malachi 3:9 “You are cursed with a curse, for you have robbed the Lord.”

4.Poverty is promised when you become a thief, stealing from others!  Zechariah 5:3 “Everyone who steals shall be cut off . . .

5.Poverty is promised when you refuse to work a job, no matter how low the position or wage!  Proverbs 13:4 “The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing.”

6.Poverty is promised when you are wasteful with your money, buying “junk” or spending money on vices, addictions, or schemes!  Luke 15:12-13 “the younger son wasted his possessions on prodigal living”

7.Poverty is promised when you become anti-semitic toward Israel and the Jewish people!  Genesis 12:3 “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you”

A final thought on all of this:  if you are practicing these “principles of poverty” in whole or part, stop right now.  There is still time to “right yourself” financially, but you must act now.  Start tithing, stop charging, stop wasting, stop dishonesty, and stop supporting the laziness or wickedness of others.

*As we head into 2013, there is much going on in the way of ministry events, opportunities, and re-structuring.

Ministry Re-structuring

Most of this will be behind-the-scenes, but the staff will be adjusted in areas of responsibility.  Also, changes in missions, ministry teams, and worship services will be ongoing as well.  Again, most of this tweaking, adjusting, and changing will be “invisible to you but it will greatly add to excellence and efficiency of ministry.

*As you may know, I “mentor” to a total of 41 fellow pastors across the nation.  Most of these are young in age and experience in the work of God.  Part of this mentoring is going to spend time with them in “revivals”.  This time is more than just preaching to their people, but it is time to spend with them in inspiring, edifying, encouraging, and helping.  I tell you this because in February, I’ll be away for three of the four weekends.  First, in Michigan (Feb. 7-10), then in North Carolina (Feb. 16-25).  Please pray for me to have “wisdom” in all I say and “honor” in all I do.  While I’m away, the pulpit will be admirably filled with Steve Bice, Scott Eadie, Norman Fortier, Sam Knight, and John Palmer.  These men are God’s gift to Miles Road and me, they will be a blessing.

*In closing, keep sending the encouragement cards, passing out the tickets and tracts, and inviting people to church.  Your efforts are not in vain.  Also, “THANK YOU” for your on-going support in this ministry our Lord has given us.  You are wanted, needed, and loved . . . more then you will ever know.

Love,

Jim

Sadly, tragically, such a “savior” does exist.  Indeed, he is a devil . . . the son of Satan, the Antichrist.  I believe this next and last world dictator to come is alive right now.  Somewhere in our world, he is being prepared for his position by human cronies and demonic powers of hell.  When the Bride of Christ, the true church, is evacuated from this world in the “Rapture”, this sinister minister will step-out onto the world stage.  Like Hitler of old, he will promise prosperity and peace under the banner of a New World Order.  He will gain control, by permission or force, of the Western World including the United States.  Using supernatural prowess and power, this Antichrist will broker a peace treaty in the Middle East between Israel and the Islamic factions.  He will stabilize the financial markets and boost the economics of the West to new heights of wealth.  He will create a military force and a police force to control terrorism and crime.  Simply put, this coming world dictator will promise “heaven on earth” to all who will follow him.  Why will the world need Jesus Christ and a Heaven up there . . . they will have Antichrist and a heaven down here?!

Unfortunately, like his father, the Antichrist is a liar and a murderer.  His heaven turns out to be hell.  His promises are short-lived; and his peace and prosperity does not last.  Facing opposition to his New World Order, Antichrist launches a slaughter against the human race that will leave 3-4 billion people dead in 3 ½ years.  He goes to the Middle East, and seizes Israel and its rebuilt Temple.  He imposes economic sanctions and rationing on the people . . . demanding their allegiance and worship to be part of the economic system.  He mobilizes his entire army to confront China and her allies in a climactic battle at Megiddo.  In the end, the political economic, and spiritual promises of Antichrist and his Fourth Reich will be no different than Adult Hitler and his Third Reich . . death, desolation, and damnation.

Perhaps, as you read this, you are thinking I've got a good imagination, or I’m a gifted story writer.  Yet, the truth is, this is real and coming.  The events I just capsulized are from God’s Word and they are future history . . . soon-to-come future history.  Our world is on the “clock” and time is running out.

As 2013 looms ahead, may I give you my predictions for the upcoming year.  I must “confess’ I received some inside and upside help . . .

1. Our world is going to continue to face unsolvable problems, increasing the “gloom” of many people.

2. Our world will increasingly believe globalism, socialism, and ecumenical-ism is the only “hope” we have to survive.

3. The Church (The Bride-Of-Christ) and Israel (The Apple Of God’s Eye) will face increasing opposition . . . both will be blamed for society’s ills and world violence.

4. The West (Europe, United States) will rapidly become post-Christian; and followers of the Lord Jesus are going to face increasing persecutions.

5. We, the people of God, will win.  Saved by grace, living by grace, and leaving by grace (death or Rapture), the saints will be fine.  As the song goes, “We have won, we have won, through the blood of Jesus we have won!”.

*All Prophecy Notes may be read on my blog at milesroad.org

*Prophecy notes are written by Dr. Jim Palmer, Sr. Pastor of Miles Road Baptist Church.  Each “notes” seeks to tie-together world happenings with God’s Prophetic Word.  The analysis given is based on extensive reading of multiple sources and is given to motivate believers to share their Faith and live holy lives as we look for our Lord’s return.

*On war . . . we have scores of conflicts going on as I write this, and tragically more to come.  There are times when war is righteous and necessary.  When war is to be fought, it should be fought to win as quickly and decisively as possible.  The objectives should be clear, the strategy sound, and the conclusion obtainable.  It is incompetence at best and treason at worst to send our military into harm’s way with no intention to be victorious.

*On the Antichrist . . . the last world dictator to come.  This is Satan’s superman, a composite of every evil ruler who has ever lived.  He is the “crown-jewel” of hell . . . a living, human replica of the Devil himself.  His number is 666, but when He meets 777 his number will be up.

*On Wealth . . . having much money and the things money can buy.  Many people think being rich is a sin, but there is no vice in being wealthy nor no virtue in being poor.  While wealth can’t make people happy (millionaires seldom smile) nor take them to Heaven, it can be used to help the poor, build a church, and advance the gospel.  Thanks be to God for those who use their wealth for eternal purposes . . . they will be wealthy in Heaven as well.

What is the message and mission of these religious barbarians in the church?  It is simple . . . one for all, all for one, in a global church where anything goes!  Their purpose, knowingly or unknowingly, is a one-world ecumenical church that umbrella’s all faiths and religions.  To accomplish this, they have used two movements . . . one current and the other coming rapidly... over the last thirty years.  The current movement is the “seeker-friendly” so popular today among our younger generation.  Many wrongly believe this movement is just about dress, music, and teaching style, but it is not.  The “seeker-friendly” movement was about changing the church to a business, the worshiper to a consumer, and the ministry to marketing Jesus.  To accomplish this intent, dress became casual, music became “Top-Forty”, preaching became a short, sweet monologue, and ministry became fun, fun, fun.  For over 30 years, this has been “church for many . . . a “pep-rally” for Jesus that is full of Hollywood hype and American Bandstand fun, but is void of “spirituality”.

Now comes the second movement, the “emerging-church” movement.  This movement is polar-opposite of the “seeker-friendly” movement, but is just as devilish.  With a generation of new “Christians” tired of superficial “pep-rally” experiences, this movement seeks to introduce to the church a deeper spiritual experience with God.  Using words like “authentic”, “vintage”, “traditional”, and “early”, the emerging-church movement is luring people into re-fashioned forms of Catholicism, Judaism, and Easter Mysticism.  The idea is worship needs to be filled with rituals, ceremonies, visuals, sensual, meditations, and experiences that have “meaning” to the individual.  Biblical doctrine is not important . . . in fact most emerging-church leaders are inclusive, ecumenical, and even heretical when it comes to beliefs.  It is this “movement” that is sweeping into many churches today and captivating many of our youth.

Think, the seeker-friendly movement said, “Fun, Fun, Fun”, but it taught no biblical truth.  Now the emerging church movement says, “Deep, Deep, Deep”, but it denies biblical truth.  The seeker friendly movement was driven by emotions; and the emerging-church movement is driven by experiences.  But neither is driven by God’s Word nor Biblical truth.  One generation into these two movements, the church has become a “hodge-podge” of beliefs and behaviors that are void of truth.

In closing, the “emerging-church movement” is closely akin to most all other cults and religious in that it is imagery and ceremonially based.  Since “doctrine” is irrelevant or of little consequence, why not merge with other religious groups and worship together.  The stage is being set for the long-anticipated one-world church led by the False Prophet (Rev. 13).

The “Barbarians” are inside the gates and they are about to open the front door of the church to infidels.  As we await our evacuation, may we remember Paul’s admonition . . .

“For this cause we also, since the day we

heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and

to desire that ye might be filled with the

knowledge of his will in all wisdom and

spiritual understanding; that ye might walk

worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being

fruitful in every good work, and increasing

in the knowledge of God; Strengthened

with all might, according to his glorious

power, unto all patience and longsuffering

with joyfulness.”  (Colossians 1:9-11)

*On Russia And Iran . . . they are prime-time nations in precipitating World War 111.  It will be Russian greed and Iranian hatred that will lead them to “Pearl Harbor” Israel in the near future.  This sneak attack against God’s nation will not go well for the invaders.  Communism and Islamism will meet their “Waterloo”.

*On The New Age Movement . . . there is nothing new about it.  It is only a bunch of old fables re-packaged for new fools.  Pantheism, relativism, esotericism, and reincarnationism are the deceptions that brought down Adam and Eve; and many today are falling to eternal ruin believing them.

*On The Unholy Trinity . . . it is Satan’s counterfeit of the Holy Trinity.  Satan is not creative, but he is a great copy-cat.  Satan, Antichrist, and The False Prophet are hell’s answer to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  The Unholy Trinity will rule for seven years . . . the Holy Trinity will reign forever and forever!

*On Blame . . . it is one of America’s favorite pastimes.  Be it because of grandparents, glands, ghetto, or government, nobody is accountable for their choices or conduct.  “It’s not my fault” has become the new Top Forty hit to this generation.

*On The Lord Jesus . . . He is the Creator, Savior, Lord, and God.  We must accept Him in totality or we must reject Him in totality . . . He cannot be chosen or picked-over like cafeteria food.  With Jesus, it’s all of Him or none of Him.

*On Bible Translations . . . people love to argue over which translation is most accurate or best.  My favorite translation is the “DLT” . . . the Daily Living Translation.  If we are not following or obeying the Bible we have daily, what difference does it make what we have.  Instead of fighting over translations, let’s just live-out our choice.

*On Finding A Spouse . . . pick right and you will have a taste of Heaven, pick wrong and you will have a taste of hell.  Choose someone whose beauty is inward as well as outward.  Father Time and Mother Nature can end outward beauty but inward beauty is eternal.

*On Wealth . . . how much wealth do we possess?  The answer is not found in our check-book, accumulations, or investments.  True wealth is measured by what we do possess that money can’t buy and death can’t take away.

*On Hypocrites . . . they are everywhere.  We work with them, shop with them, play with them, and sometimes live with them.  Yes, we have hypocrites in the church too, but come to church anyway.  I’d rather worship with a few hypocrites on Sunday than burn with all the hypocrites eternally.

*On Critics . . . they are little people who ignorantly, inaccurately, and often maliciously tear-down others.  If you do not know a critic, “do something” and you will find one.  The best thing to do with critics is to ignore them.  Like a barking dog when you walk, pay them no mind and they eventually quiet down and go away.

*On Evolution . . . the idea our ancestors are from a pool of goo and a cage from the zoo.  I understand how an evolutionist could make this mistake, because we do have people who have the morals of an alley cat, the stubbornness of a goat, the manners of a vulture, and who live like pigs.  I admire the “faith” of evolutionists because it takes more faith to believe in their absurd theories than in Biblical facts.  As the evolutionist continues his search for the missing links to prove his ideas, may I first suggest he find the whole chain.

*On Preaching . . . communicating God’s truth to those in your congregation.  My philosophy is simple and Biblical . . . give everyone at least one “cookie” of truth.  On any given Sunday, I have 500 people of different faith sizes.  Some are giants in the faith; others are dwarfs; most are in-between.  It’s my challenge and duty to put the cookies of truth on multiple shelves (low, middle, high), so everyone can reach one and partake of it.  Giving a cookie to everybody does not please everyone.  Some want all the cookies on one shelf for themselves or want all the cookies to be to one flavor.  To these of that mentality, bake your own cookies and enjoy them.  My bakery must feed the multitudes and so shall I do so.

*On Grace . . . God giving to us what we do not deserve.  I do not deserve to be who I am, nor have what I have, or do what I do; but by God’s grace I am, I have, and I do!  There are no self-made men, only grace-made men.  That’s why worship, praying, and giving are so important.  These are ways to say “THANK YOU” to our Lord for His favor to us.  Don’t disgrace with an attitude of ingratitude . . . give Him praise for His amazing grace to you.

Pastor Jim

*On Hypocrites . . . hypocrites are fakers or counterfeits of the real thing.  Critics say the church is full of hypocrites; and sadly they may be right.  But the existence of hypocrites only validates the existence of genuiness.  A counterfeit $100 bill would not exist unless there were real $100 bills.  Yes, hypocrites are in the church, but so are real, genuine Christians.  You will usually find what you are looking for; and what you are looking for is a reflection of yourself.

*On Abortion . . . it is the murder of the unborn.  You can re-define it, as its proponents do, but it does not change the fact a baby’s life it taken.  Have you ever noticed people who advocate abortion are already born.  They seek to deny another what they already have.  I wish abortionist’s would pick on someone their own size, but they are cowards . . . babies can’t fight back.  Aborted babies are in Heaven . . . those who abort them for convenience and cash will not be!

*On Israel . . . this is God’s chosen nation and its people His chosen people.  No, present day Israel and the Jewish people do not follow the Lord, but one day they will.  One of the purposes of the Great Tribulation is to bring the nation and people back to the Lord through Jesus Christ.  We will do well to be pro-Israel and receive God’s blessing, than turn on Israel and find ourselves fighting God.  The graveyard of fallen nations and empires contains all who persecuted the Jewish people and sought to exterminate the nation . . . may the United States never find its name in that cemetery.

*On leadership . . . everything rises or falls on it.  It has been said, “It is better to have a lion lead sheep, than a sheep lead lions”.  When weak men rule, when small men have influence, the end is not far.

The “capsulized briefs” on various subjects are meant to stimulate your thinking and stir your heart.  More to come!

My point in telling this is to teach a truth many people overlook or forget . . .the Devil works both sides of the political spectrum.  He can advance his New World Order of a  one-world government, one-world church, and one-world economy using Democrats or Republicans, liberals or conservatives, pagans or religious, and/or doves or hawks.  In fact, by having his people in place on both sides, he is more subtly and quickly able to advance his globalistic schemes.

This process of using both sides of a political party to constantly change the middle of “mainstream acceptance”, and over time, the beliefs and tolerances of a nation is called synthesis.  By playing thesis against antithesis (one side against the other on any issue) you can shift the “middle” and make it different as needed.

Let’s see this principle used by the Devil in current America.  President Obama is a socialist liberal, strong on government control and weak on military power.  He has pushed this nation to the “left” economically and culturally.  His policies have created a swing of the pendulum back to the “right’, but the swing is going to take us further to the right than before.  As America declines and the failed policies of the “left” continue, a climate is being established for a right-way leader to emerge who will be vaguely religious, strongly anti-terrorist, and zealously against national debt.  My point . . .  our country is being set-up by demonic powers to accept the coming dictator, Antichrist.  Make no mistake about it, Antichrist will be a parallel of Hitler, only a more “advanced model”.

A study of history shows Germany was a declining nation led by weak, socialistic leaders.  This created the climate for a strong, nationalistic leader to emerge from the “right”.  Perhaps all of this is a bit confusing or even difficult to believe, but I hope it serves to educate us not to put our trust in any political party or movement, no matter how appealing they might be.  We as Christians have been repeatedly “burnt” by leaders who claimed to be of us but were sad imposters.

In closing, I sense we are being “set-up” and need to be careful who we trust and support in the days to come.  What sounds good in speeches and looks good on paper, may not be “good” in how it is accomplished.  Much of Hitler’s promises and policies were “accomplished” by waging war, the eliminations of certain “unprofitable” groups, and the seizing of all wealth by currency devaluation and tax codes.

Revelation 1

*Key Verse (1:8):  “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
*Main Point:  Jesus Christ is Lord!
*Commentary:  Jesus Christ is the eternal Lord God.  He is Lord over creation (Col. 1:16-17) and Lord of salvation (Acts 4:12).  One day this will be acknowledged by all (Phil. 2:10) . . . saints, angels, sinners, demons, and the Devil himself.

Revelation 2 - 3

*Key Verse (2:7):  “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
*Main Point:  The church (local and universal) is of great importance and interest to the Lord.
*Commentary:  The seven churches listed are contemporary . . . they existed in John’s day.  There are composites . . . they exist to some extent in every age.  There are chronological . . . they mirror the church’s historic reflection from A.D. 30 to the rapture.

Revelation 4

*Key Verse (4:1):  “After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in Heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.”
*Main Point:  Up, up, and away . . . the rapture of the church (1 Thess. 4:16-17)
*Commentary:  With a shout, voice, and trumpet the dead in Christ are resurrected and the living in Christ are raptured.  This event brings forth Antichrist and begins the final seven years of history as we know it.

Revelation 5

*Key Verse (5:12):  “Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.”
Main Point:  Heaven is a place of great worship.
Commentary:  Blessings, glory, honor, and power to the Lamb Of God forever.  The Lord Jesus is worshiped by all the angelic host and redeemed of Adam’s race.

Revelation 6

*Key Verse (6:2):  “And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.”
Main Point:  The coming of Antichrist and the New World Order (Fourth Reich).
Commentary:  Through a series of “Seal Judgments”, the Antichrist comes, conquers, and consolidates his empire.  The cost is human life in 3 ½ years is 1.5 billion dead.

Revelation 7

*Key Verse (7:4):  “And I heard the number of those who were sealed.  One hundred and forty-four thousand of all the tribes of the children of Israel were sealed:”
*Main Point:  The gospel is preached world-wide to all faces, of all races, in all places.
*Commentary:  The salvation of these Jewish evangelists is similar to Paul’s salvation on the Damascus Road (1 Cor. 15:8).  It is a supernatural intervention of revealing, saving grace.

Revelation 8

*Key Verse (8:6):  “So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
*Main Point:  The earth’s ecology is destroyed in part by a series of “Trumpet Judgements”.
*Commentary:  Life and light are reduced by 1/3 creating food shortages, water shortages, and sunlight reduction.

Revelation 9

*Key Verse (9:3, 9:16):  “Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth.  And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.”  “Now the number of the army of the horsemen was two hundred million; I heard the number of them.”
*Main Point:  Two great invasions come to earth, One from hell (demonic) and the other from the East (Chinese).
*Commentary:  The army from hell is imprisoned demons jailed for sex crimes against humanity now freed.  The Oriental army is 200 million soldiers from the East marching to the Middle East for oil and minerals.

Revelation 10

*Key Verse (10:10):  “then I took the little book out of the angel’s hand and ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.  But when I had eaten it, my stomach became bitter.”
*Main Point:  God’s Word to the saved is sweet and to the lost is bitter.
Commentary:  God’s Word is important to know (read it), to stow (memorize it), to show (live it), and to sow (witness it).

Revelation 11

*Key Verse (11:3):  “And I will give power to my tow witnesses, and they will prophesy one thousand two hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.”
*Main Point:  The return of Moses and Elijah to Jerusalem to challenge Antichrist.
*Commentary:  Moses represents the Law (water into blood) and Elijah represents the Prophets (stop the rain).  The Jewish people will be in awe of their witness and Antichrist will be outraged.                        

Revelation 12

*Key Verse (12:17):  “And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her off-spring, who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
Main Point:  Satan hates the Jewish race and nations of Israel, and throughout history has tried to destroy both.
Commentary:  Antichrist will seek to complete Hitler’s “final solution” for the Jewish race . . . extermination.

Revelation 13

*Key Verse (13:1, 13:11):  “Then I stood on the sand of the sea.  And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.”  Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon.”
*Main Point:  Unveiling of the Unholy Trinity
*Commentary:  Satan is a counterfeit, and he counterfeits the Holy Trinity with Antichrist as the Lord Jesus and the False Prophet as the Holy Spirit, and he as God.  Those who worship this Unholy Trinity will be marked “666”.

Revelation 14

*Key Verse (14:6):  “Then I saw another angel flying in the midst of Heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach to those who dwell on the earth - to every nation, tribe, tongue, and people.”
*Main Point:  God’s grace one last time extended by an angel preaching the gospel.
*Commentary:  This is God’s final call to all to repent or perish . . . turn to Jesus Christ and turn from Antichrist.

Revelation 15

*Key Verse (15:7):  “Then one of the four living creatures gave to the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God who lives forever and ever.
*Main Point:  God’s wrath is now poured out . . . Grace has been exhausted.
*Commentary:  Even the damn of God’s grace and mercy can be over-run by the floodwaters of man’s scorn and rejection.  The day of salvation has come to an end.

Revelation 16

*Key Verse (16:1):  “Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go and pour out the bowls of the wrath of God on the earth.”
*Main Point:  The final judgements begin and sinners curse God.

Revelation 17

*Key Verse (17:1):  “Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and talked with me, saying to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters,”
*Main Point:  The One World Religious Order collapses.
*Commentary:  The Antichrist destroys the false church (harlot) when he no longer needs her.

*Main Point:  The One World Economic Order collapses.
*Community:  The Antichrist’s wealth is taken and all the rich weep.

Revelation 19

*Key Verse (19:15):  “Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with is He should strike the nations.  And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron.  He Himself treads with winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
*Main Point:  The One World Political Order collapses.
*Commentary:  The Antichrist is defeated and all his followers vanquished at Christ’s return.

Revelation 20

*Key Verse (20:11):  “Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the Heaven fled away.  And there was found no place for them.”
*Main Point:  The final judgment of all the unsaved.
*Commentary:  “Judge Jesus gives every unsaved man his “day in court”, but no case is dismissed nor no verdict changed . . . all are guilty.

Revelation 21

*Key Verse (21:2):  “Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of Heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
*Main Point:  The unveiling of Heaven.

Revelation 22

*Key Verse (22:14-15):  “Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city.”  “But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.”
*Main Point:  Hope to the saved and warning the the unsaved.
*Commentary:  Salvation is evidenced by a holy life and lostness is evidenced by a wicked life.
