"REVELATION"





"And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned,
 I saw seven golden candlesticks, one like unto the Son of man,
clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps
with a golden girdle.  His head and his hairs were white like wool,
as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace;
 and his voice as the sound of many waters.  And out of his mouth went
a sharp two-edged sword and his countenance was as the sun shineth
in his strength.  And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead.
And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not;
I am the first and the last: and, behold, I am alive for evermore,
Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death."
(Revelation 1:12-17) 

John on the Isle of Patmos

John, after having been boiled in oil and banished to the Isle of Patmos, 90 miles out in the Aegean Sea, was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and "he turned"  ...  and he SAW  ...  What did he see?  Oh, just GOD Almighty, with hair white as wool, eyes aflame, feet of brass, and a voice that sounded like thunder!  Awesome, isn't it?  The pictures of Jesus Christ will not do Him justice, when at last we see Him face to face.  This is the Jesus I visualize, One who stands in Power and Glory, so enfolded in the brightness of Light that it's blinding, so amazing in stature that we bow at the sight of Him, so astounding that respectful fear overwhelms us, and all we can do is fall at His feet as dead  ...  just as John did, and cry Holy, Holy, Holy!

"Write, therefore, what you have seen, what is now
and what will take place later."
(Revelation 1:19)


It is the essence of the mighty Book of Revelation, "What was, what is, and what is to come."  Because of John, we know what is "to come."  What God needs today are people "in the Spirit on the Lord's day."  What?  He needs some pasture dwellers, some willing to be thrown in a lions' den, a few persecuted ones sitting in prison writing the unctions of the Holy Ghost, an Esther that says, "If I perish, I perish," a Samson that will let his hair grow back, a Deborah raising her anointed hand in Holy prophecy, a Gideon who will blow the shofar and fight with his 300 water-in-the-hand lappers, and some fishermen who will traverse the deep for the "big fish."  Let the "chosen" come forth; let the Visionary come forth; let the trailblazer come forth; let the dreamer come forth  ...  Ah, He needs "a few good men"  ...  oh, and, women!

Maybe there are not enough people "turning to see" today:


It takes a turn, and a hungry heart  ... to see.  We are in the days just before the Rapture of the Church; there are "greater things" promised to us, greater Visions, greater dreams, greater exploits, greater miracles, signs and wonders, greater outpourings of the Spirit of God  ...  The Lord Jesus Christ is just looking for one, consecrated, yearning, desirous heart, who is willing to look through the cobwebs of the mundane into the ethereal domain of Glory and Wonder, into the unknown to know, with a   ...  Turn  ...  and See  ...
