jesus the tribulation and the kingdom and the patient endurance was on the island called patmos on account of the word of god and the testimony of jesus i was in the spirit on the lord's day and i heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet saying write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches to ephesus and to smyrna and to pergamum and to thyatira into sardis and to philadelphia and to laodicea then i turned to see the voice that was speaking to me and on turning i saw seven golden lampstands and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash across his chest his head and his hair were white as white wool white as snow his eyes were like a flame of fire his feet were like burnished bronze refined as in a furnace and his voice was like the sound of many waters in his right hand he held seven stars from his mouth issued a sharp two-edged sword and his face was like the sun shining in full strength when i saw him i fell at his feet as though dead but he laid his right hand upon me saying fear not i am the first and the last and the living one i died and behold i am alive forevermore and i have the keys of death and hades now write what you see what is and what is to take place hereafter as for the mystery of the seven stars which you saw in my right hand and the seven golden lampstands the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches and the seven lamp stands are the seven churches chapter two the message to ephesus to the angel of the church in ephesus write the words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand who walks among the seven golden lampstands i know your works your toil and your patient endurance and how you cannot bear evil men but have tested those who call themselves apostles but are not and found them to be false i know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name's sake and you have not grown weary but i have this against you that you have abandoned the love you had at first remember then from what you have fallen repent and do the works you did at first if not i will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place unless you repent yet this you have you hate the works of the nicolasians which i also hate he who has an ear let him hear what the spirit says to the churches to him who conquers i will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the paradise of god. the message to smyrna and to the angel of the church in smyrna write the words of the first and the last who died and came to life i know your tribulation and your poverty but you are rich and the slander of those who say that they are jews and are not but are a synagogue of satan do not fear what you are about to suffer behold the devil is about to throw some of you into prison that you may be tested but for ten days you will have tribulation be faithful unto death and i will give you the crown of life he who has an ear let him hear what the spirit says to the churches he who conquers shall not be hurt by the second death the message to pergamum and to the angel of the church in pergamum write the words of him who has the sharp two-edged sword i know where you dwell where satan's throne is you hold fast to my name and you did not deny my faith even in the days of antipas my witness my faithful one who was killed among you where satan dwells but i have a few things against you you have some there who hold the teachings of balaam who taught balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of israel that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and practice immorality so you also have some who hold the teachings of the nicolasians repent then if not i will come to you soon and war against them with the sword of my mouth he who has an ear let him hear what the spirit says to the churches to him who conquers i will give some of the hidden manna and i will give him a white stone with a new name written on the stone which no one knows except him who receives it the message to thyatira and to the angel of the church in thyatira write the words of the son of god who has eyes like a flame of fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze i know your works your love and faith and service and patient endurance and that your latter works exceed the first but i have this against you that you tolerate the woman jezebel who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and beguiling my servants to practice immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols i gave her time to repent but she refuses to repent of her immorality behold i will throw her on a sick bed and those who commit adultery with her i will throw into great tribulation unless they repent of her doings and i will strike her children dead and all the churches shall know that i am he who searches mind and heart and i will give to each of you as your works deserve but to the rest of you in thyatira who do not hold this teaching who have not learned what some call the deep things of satan to you i say i do not lay upon you any other burden only hold fast what you have until i come he who conquers and who keeps my words until the end i will give him power over the nations and he shall rule them with a rod of iron as when earthen pots are broken in pieces even as i myself have received power from my father and i will give him the morning star he who has an ear let him hear what the spirit says to the churches chapter 3 the message to sardis and to the angel of the church in sardis write the words of him who has the seven spirits of god and the seven stars i know your works you have the name of being alive and you are dead awake and strengthen what remains and is on the point of death for i have not found your works perfect in the sight of my god remember then what you received and heard keep that and repent if you will not awake i will come like a thief and you will not know at what hour i will come upon you yet you have still a few names in sardis people who have not soiled their garments and they shall walk with me in white for they are worthy he who conquers shall be clothed like them in white garments and i will not blot his name out of the book of life i will confess his name before my father and before his angels he who has an ear let him hear what the spirit says to the churches the message to philadelphia and to the angel of the church in philadelphia write the words of the holy one the true one who has the key of david who opens and no one shall shut who shuts and no one opens i know your works behold i have set before you an open door which no one is able to shut i know that you have but little power and yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name behold i will make those of the synagogue of satan who say that they are jews and are not but lie behold i will make them come and bow down before your feet and learn that i loved you because you have kept my word of patient endurance i will keep you from the hour of trial which is coming on the whole world to try those who dwell upon the earth i am coming soon hold fast what you have so that no one may seize your crown he who conquers i will make him a pillar in the temple of my god never shall he go out of it and i will write on him the name of my god and the name of the city of my god the new jerusalem which comes down from my god out of heaven and my own new name he who has an ear let him hear what the spirit says to the churches the message to laodicea and to the angel of the church in laodicea write the words of the amen the faithful and true witness the beginning of god's creation i know your works you are neither cold nor hot would that you were cold or hot so because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot i will spew you out of my mouth for you say i am rich i have prospered and i need nothing not knowing that you are wretched pitiable poor blind and naked therefore i counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire that you may be rich and white garments to clothe you and to keep the shame of your nakedness from being seen and sav to anoint your eyes that you may see those whom i love i reprove and chasten so be zealous and repent behold i stand at the door and knock if anyone hears my voice and opens the door i will come into him and eat with him and he with me he who conquers i will grant him to sit with me on my throne as i myself conquered and sat down with my father on his throne he who has an ear let him hear what the spirit says to the churches the second letter of paul to timothy chapter 3 godlessness in the last days but understand this that in the last days there will come times of stress for men will be lovers of self lovers of money proud arrogant abusive disobedient to their parents ungrateful unholy inhuman implacable slanderers profligates fierce haters of good treacherous reckless swollen with conceit lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of god holding the form of religion but denying the power of it avoid such people for among them are those who make their way into households and capture weak women burdened with sins and swayed by various impulses who will listen to anybody and can never arrive at a knowledge of the truth as johnis and jambres opposed moses so these men also oppose the truth men of corrupt mind and counterfeit faith but they will not get very far for their folly will be plain to all as was that of those two men paul paul's charged to timothy now you have observed my teaching my conduct my aim in life my faith my patience my love my steadfastness my persecutions my sufferings what befell me at antioch at iconium and at lystra what persecutions i endured yet from them all the lord rescued me indeed all who desire to live a godly life in christ jesus will be persecuted while evil men and imposters will go on from bad to worse deceivers and deceived but as for you continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings which are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in christ jesus all scripture is inspired by god and profitable for teaching for reproof for correction and for training in righteousness that the man of god may be complete equipped for every good work chapter four i charge you in the presence of god and of christ jesus who is to judge the living and the dead and by his appearing and his kingdom preach the word be urgent in season and out of season convince rebuke and exhort be unfailing in patience and in teaching for the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own likings and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander into myths as for you always be steady endure suffering do the work of an evangelist fulfill your ministry for i am already on the point of being sacrificed the time of my departure has come i have fought the good fight i have finished the race i have kept the faith from now on there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness which the lord the righteous judge will award to me on that day and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing personal instructions do your best to come to me soon for demas in love with this present world has deserted me and gone to thessalonica crescens has gone to galatia titus to dalmatia luke alone is with me get mark and bring him with you for he is very useful in serving me tychicus i have sent to ephesus when you come bring the cloak that i left with corpus at troas also the books and above all the parchments alexander the coppersmith did me great harm the lord will pay him back for his deeds beware of him yourself for he strongly opposed our message at my first defense no one took my part all deserted me may it not be charged against them but the lord stood by me and gave me strength to proclaim the word fully that all the gentiles might hear it so i was rescued from the lion's mouth the lord will rescue me from every evil and save me for his heavenly kingdom to him be the glory forever and ever amen final greetings and benediction greet prisca and aquila and the household of anessa for us erastus remained at corinth trophamus i left ill at miletus do your best to come before winter ubulus sends greetings to you as do putins and linus and claudia and all the brethren the lord be with your spirit grace be with you the book of proverbs chapter 31 verses 8 and 9. open your mouth for the mute for the rights of all who are left desolate open your mouth judge righteously maintain the rights of the poor and needy father in heaven we give you praise and glory we thank you for bringing us to this new day to this new book of the book of revelation as well as the conclusion of saint paul's second letter to timothy thank you so much thank you for these last days of this 365 day journey we give you we can't even begin lord god to count up the blessings not only the blessings of beginning the blessings of making it through to the end we have talked so many times lord about having a good beginning you remind us that it is better to have a good ending than it is to have a good beginning help us to end well we make this our prayer in the name of jesus christ our lord amen in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy spirit amen i want to go in reverse i want to talk first about the second letter of saint paul to timothy a couple things are just they're just beautiful you know as paul is encouraging his spiritual son timothy one of the things that he's reminding him of doing is is he's reminding him of the fact that suffering is going to be part of this that there are those who are going to oppose you and there are those who are going to fall away i mean we already he already wrote to timothy about this and he's just reminding him of this in fact you know even just those those hard words those sad words at the end of chapter four or middle of chapter four really where saint paul says do your best to come to me soon you just you can hear the ache in his voice for demos in love with this present world has deserted me gone to thessalonica questions has gone to galatia titus to damnatio luke alone is with me and get mark and bring him with you he's very useful um he goes on to say alexander the coppersmith did me great harm and then at last in verse 16 chapter four at my first offense no one took my part all deserted me may not be charged against them but the lord stood by me and gave me strength and that's just it's so important we have to recognize that this is our lot right this is going to be our story as well that there are people that we're going to trust they're people who are going to be even our comrades in arms when it comes to following after the lord and we just pray that we're not the ones who fall away we just pray that we're not the ones who betray we just ask the lord please lord god help me not betray but also when those friends when those family when those people in my life when they do fail me help me also like paul to be able to pray may it not be charged against them help me to forgive to let it go you know uh saint paul also two things i just want to highlight because there's really powerful lines in chapter three where saint paul's writing to timothy he he says as for you continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed knowing from whom you learned it and now from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings which are able to instruct you for salvation through faith in christ jesus now as saint paul is writing about the sacred writings he's talking about the old testament and i think that is so good for us all of us who have gone through the entire old testament except for those last verses in proverbs chapter 31 all of us who have gone through the old testament we recognize that the entire old testament is pointing to the new in fact the new testament is hidden in the old and the old is revealed in the new and so here is paul writing to timothy saying yeah you've been familiar with those they've instructed you and goes on to say all scripture is inspired by god and profitable for teaching for reproof for correction for training in righteousness that the man of god may be complete equipped for every good work and that's just again one of the reasons why maybe maybe in eight days we're gonna start back in day one and one more lap around uh the bible in another year but we also recognize that we pray that god helps us not just to start well but he has helped us to finish well saint paul in chapter four verse seven he says i have fought the good fight i have finished the race i have kept the faith and there's something so i don't know i don't even know if i have words for it it's just so powerful we just say god please let that be me let me not fall away from you let me not abandon you ever ever and if i do bring me back because we know this that the lord's love for us never fails even if we walk away from him he is faithful we heard that yesterday or the day before that that even if we're unfaithful he is always faithful even if we don't care about him he cares for us even if we say i reject your love that love of his for us never wavers ever ever so lord if we have walked away if we have fallen away bring us back bring us home so revelation a couple things this is maybe this is the the one you've been waiting for everybody i don't know if that is i don't know if you've been afraid of revelation or if you've been excited for revelation um but a couple things about the book of revelation is this is going to be um a great book it's a lot like daniel it is a lot like those other books of the prophet's apocalyptic literature right where there's a lot of symbolism for example um talks about the number ten when you hear the number 10 in the book of revelation there's 10 horns there's 10 days for 10 years this is gonna happen just know the number of 12 will be a number of fullness right number seven is number of sabbath the number of of covenant okay so the number of 12 be a number power a number of completeness 10 is powerful but not all-powerful 10 would be powerful but limited and that is just kind of a little insight little little clue that when we read the word 10 here in the book of revelation that's what that is oftentimes i believe maybe even every time is referencing there's power there it's long lasting but it's not lasting forever it's not all-powerful so it's limited power it's limited time hopefully that makes sense but let's look at the dating so john says that he writes the book and so the traditional belief is that john the beloved john you know um that he wrote this book of revelation that this is a revelation from jesus christ to john so that he can pass it on to the churches now we talked about the seven churches so the addresses of john's book of revelation are these seven churches in asia and we just get to hear in these first three chapters we get to hear what's going on in those churches but before that let's back up even more and say what's the dating of this book of revelation there are i think two theories essentially one theory is that the dating of this book is from the 90s that the end of john's life he's an old man at this point and uh he's he's writing this book of revelation during the era or the age of the emperor domitian um so that's one of the theories another theory is that this is happening in the 60s or 70s so you know 30-ish plus years ahead of that time would be another theory and that would be under the time of nero now a couple reasons why i like that i prefer in fact that this would come from uh the 60s 60s before the year 70. and one is because when we get to the number 666 everyone is afraid of the word 66 or the number is 666 that is in hebrew numerology a number indicating the name of nero caesar or caesar nero so you know all the letters all numbers have a letter value or our letters have number value and so if you add those up later on we're going to hear this where john says this is code but if you're smart enough you can figure this out because if i'm writing this during the time of nero then it makes sense that i'm going to keep this a code and so you don't see me um essentially you know lambasting the emperor who wants to kill all these christians in rome so it would make sense and also there's some some variations that have the number 616 and that still spells nero just in i think in the latin language so it's it makes a lot of sense that if this is happening during the persecution of nero versus the persecution of domination that makes sense to me also what makes sense is that jesus had said that essentially i'm coming soon and the end of the world is happening soon in fact remember in the gospels jesus prophesied that i'll come back before all these things take place that essentially the world will end before this generation ends all these things will take place so since jesus prophesied this he'd say wait a second uh when did that happen and if you remember in the year 70 a.d what happened was rome destroyed jerusalem they destroyed the temple and we have to understand how important the temple was i mean i've emphasized this i think over the last 359 days but the temple was everything in fact remember remember when god showed moses on the mountain the dimensions in the building of the temple it was meant to be a little microcosm of the cosmos right a microcosm of the world of the universe that's meant to be that's what it is so in the year 70 when the romans came into jerusalem and destroyed the temple what this is a prophecy of destroying the world because the temple again is the epicenter the temple's epicenter are not only of finance it's not on the epicenter of politics for the jewish people it's the epicenter of worship it is the center of the world it is a microcosm of the world and so here is jesus in revelation here is jesus in the gospels who's prophesying yeah the end of the world will happen in this generation it makes sense that we would say that that would this would be written in the year 60 so that john is prophesying getting the people ready for the destruction of the temple and that that you know bransacking of jerusalem in the year 70 80. that's that's my it's an opinion um other people have different opinions that are they're informed as well but that's also going to inform us a lot about what's going on for the next number of chapters so just fyi with all of that in mind one of the things we know is that regardless of what emperor this was under this was a time of persecution for christians and regardless of what year this was this was a time of great persecution for christians and so what is god doing god is saying okay i want you to get prepared i want you to get prepared for this persecution and just know that there is a battle happening that that's going on in this world between evil in the world and between god not that evil and god are are equal not at all not even close but because the we live in this world because we live on this planet because we live in this time that's broken there is this battle that is waging so let's begin chapter one we have this revelation uh and uh it's so i i can't even begin i'm so glad you all read the old testament because you know that when someone like john when he says something like um here is jesus the faithful witness the firstborn of the dead the ruler of the kings on the earth or when it says here's jesus i saw one like a son of man come like wait a second i've heard those terms like in daniel book of daniel that's a really big deal jesus even himself says you will see the son of man coming in power and glory so we know the background for all this but the background of the context of this is i john your brother in chapter 1 verse 9 who share with you in the tribulation in jesus and the tribulation and kingdom and the patience endurance on the island of patmos he was exiled to the island of patmos and he's there on the lord's day now this is going to be really critical because this is going to set the stage for everything that happens after this this is not a book of revelation that's all about just about future stuff it's not about just about like it's not about the rapture it's not anything like that it is about strengthening the body of christ strengthening the church via the worship that happens at the mass this is going to be so important it's about strengthening the church through the worship that happens in the mass that's what the book of revelation is all about or largely about so they're on the lord's day what's the lord say the lord's day is the day that christians celebrate the mass every christian at this point uh one on sunday would celebrate the mass and he's hears these words you know right what you see right you see he turns and sees the voice is speaking to him saw the seven golden lamp stands in the midst of the lamb stands one like a son of man clothed with a long robe golden sash across his chest what's that though the priestly robes this is what they are so you have jesus the one like the son of man the high priest with priestly robes he turns and sees him on the lord's day this is so so critical and he sees this and what happens in verse 17 when i saw him i fell at his feet as though dead now this is this is just man how often you know of course jesus doesn't want us to be afraid of him but we have this thing called the fear of the lord when we know that here is god himself and here i am not god here is the creator of everything i am a measly creation that sometimes i think we have this maybe not you but we can have this cavalier attitude i just approach god however i want come as you are there's a sense of this of course god loves us as we are but man if i turned and saw the lord god himself standing in front of me i would do this is john the beloved he didn't even run away at the hebrews of fiction this is john who was faithful this is john who suffered john was boiled alive and didn't die and then here he is if anyone could boast like you know saint paul says if anyone could boast it'd be john if anyone could just run up to jesus and say hey jesus we were best friends when you walked on this earth in the incarnation it'd be john but when i saw him i fell at his feet as though dead i just think that next time you go to adoration next time you go to adoration just realize here's the truth next time you go to mass you see the eucharist elevated and that's jesus and sometimes we just get so distracted sometimes they're so blossoms and maybe dead inside about this and yet what does jesus say to the church in laodicea he says the thing i hold against you is it you're neither cold nor hot you just show up yeah you and you show up it's great you're there but i would rather that you would be cold or hot but because you're lukewarm i will vomit you out of my mouth how many of us we approach the lord's presence we go to mass we go to adoration we just even pray call upon the name of the lord and just lukewarm to me jesus says when i'm like that jesus says hey listen either get fiery hot for me or coldly reject me because this lukewarm approach is not working yet what did what did jesus say he laid his right hand upon me saying fear not i'm the first and the last the living one i died behold i'm alive forevermore and basically get up you know and that's so good because here's jesus who loves us yes our response our proper response would be i'm dead and his response is i love you so both responses are can be equally true at the same time but here's these messages to the churches in ephesus or in church the seven churches in asia first one ephesus we have the lamp stands and the angels um sometimes or the spirits there's none of the translation sometimes like wait what are the what are the seven spirits what are the seven angels and there are some who have said that the seven angels are the bishops of those churches in those cities which sure a person could make that argument but the interesting thing is for the rest of the book of revelation when it uses the term angel it means angel and so like okay well that's kind of problematic you don't want to just twist it to make it mean what you think it means or what it might mean in this case another could be angels like actual there's angels assigned to those churches another could be the holy spirit that here is the you know seven number of covenant here is this holy spirit that is given in different ways to these seven different churches that's what could be a thing and then of course the old lamp stands are the seven churches as jesus himself says at the end of chapter one all of these churches have things that they need to be corrected on and i already mentioned lauricia that they're lukewarm right they're neither hot nor cold but i just want to highlight one and that's the church of ephesus the very first church because jesus says he says i know your works this is chapter two verse two i know your works your toil your patient endurance and how you cannot bear evil men but have tested those who call themselves apostles but are not and found them to be false i know you're enduring patiently and bearing up for my name's sake and you have not grown weary all of these things are so good they are orthodox right they're believing the right things orthopraxy they're living the right way and they're also even suffering for the sake of the lord they're doing great but he says in verse four but i have this against you that you have abandoned the love you had at first and this is just so key you know we can do we can believe the right things we can do the right things and that that's good that in jesus he even praises them for that but we're not just about doing the right things or believing the right things it's about loving the one who lived and suffered died and rose from the dead for us it's about love and so whenever i hear read the this and i've read it i read it quite often throughout the course of the year every year and i hear those words of jesus to ephesus and i think that's i don't want that to be me because i can recognize but i have this against you that you have abandoned the love you had at first remember then from what you have fallen repent and do the works you did at first and that's that's so important because i think okay lord i think i'm believing the right things i'm trying to do the right things but i also i want to be in love with you that's the thing right i just want to be in love with you that's what he's calling you to too to fall back in love with jesus it's easy to fall in love it is hard to stay in love but jesus is calling us back to that okay last thing you know jesus also has words for the churches that he says okay if you do this to him who conquers in chapter 2 to him who conquers i will grant to eat the tree of life which is in the paradise of god one of the reasons why i'm telling you this that this whole book of revelation is all it's going to be pointing back to the mass again and again i'm grant to eat of the tree of life ah here it is the eucharist um not only that but later on in verse 17 jesus says he who hasn't here let him hear what the spirit says to the churches to him who conquers i will give some of the hidden manna again the eucharist want to get once again this piece of this and then lastly i i mean there's more references but to uh this has been long already i apologize for that but there's this line that always strikes me as just the intimacy with which jesus wants us to live with him right after he says to him who conquers i will give some of the hidden manna chapter 2 verse 17 he says and i will give him a white stone with a new name written on the stone which no one knows except him who receives it that here in eternity here in heaven jesus will give you a new name and that name is only known between you and him that is only known between you and him and it's the kind of the kind of you know i think sometimes we think well does god love everyone if he loves everyone then he i'm not special and here jesus is declaring no i have a special a i have a unique love for you this has been a long one i apologize it'll be shorter from now on but uh we had to do it i'm praying for you please pray for me my name is father mike i cannot wait to see you tomorrow god bless [Music] you
