Under the oppressive rule of Domitian, John, the Divine Disciple, was unjustly sentenced to the penal colony on the remote island of Patmos. Yet, it was on this desolate island that John's unwavering faith and perseverance shone through, as he received the spirited word of Jesus. His imprisonment continued until the assassination of Domitian, which occurred approximately two years later.
Upon his release, John returned to Ephesus to continue his ministry and share with the world what he had received from on high. As his life neared its end, there was a growing anticipation about the fulfillment of the prophecies Jesus had made against Jerusalem.

We have finally concluded our study in the Book of Revelation, allowing scripture to interpret scripture, and it is my fervent prayer that through this course of study, some enlightenment might have been shared. Our reach has extended to Germany, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Costa Rica, France, Ghana, Indonesia, South Africa, Nova Scotia, and the United States. It has been another grand opportunity for me to share the word of God and exercise my gift to countless others, of whom I may not have had the occasion except through the Podcast. This study in the book of Revelation is best studied chapter by chapter as each succeeding chapter has a history in the latter chapters. To further enhance your study, I suggest that you review the scriptures that have been submitted for your consideration so that you might see the broader picture of how all scripture interfolds into one phenomenal masterpiece designed by God. Please look forward to our next adventure as I share readings from my book, “Chained In Darkness, Anthology. I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each of you for your patience and dedication as this work unfolds. I pray for God’s strength for every one of you. May the God of our salvation continue to keep you in perfect peace.

In this awe-inspiring episode, we delve into Revelation Chapter 21 and the grand vision of the New Jerusalem. At the break of dawn, Elohim and His heavenly hosts embarked on the magnificent creation of the heavens and the earth, a masterpiece that even God deemed good. The firmament, the sky, and the first rains set the stage for God's greatest creation, Man, and his role as steward of the earth.

King David's reflections in Psalms 8 raise profound questions about humanity's place in God's vast universe. The episode further explores the rebellion led by Lucifer, the celestial conflict, and the consequences for the rebellious beings. We follow the narrative of man's trials, the influence of the Nephilim, and God's judgment through the flood, as He instructed Noah to build an ark to save humanity.

As we transition to Revelation 21, the prophecy of the New Jerusalem unfolds. A new heaven and a new earth replace the old, and the holy city descends from above, adorned like a bride for her husband. The vision promises a future without pain, sorrow, or death, where God Himself dwells among men. The episode offers a detailed description of the New Jerusalem, its foundations, gates, and the glory of God illuminating the city.

Listeners are taken on a journey through the promises of God to Israel, the eternal excellence of the new creation, and the defeat of evil. The holy city's grandeur, with its walls of jasper and streets of pure gold, reflects God's magnificent power and mercy. The episode concludes with a reflection on the eternal happiness promised to those who believe in Jesus and the final exclusion of all that is evil from the New Jerusalem.

Join us as we explore the final chapter of Revelation and look forward to sharing more readings in the coming weeks. May the Lord bless you and keep you, making His face shine upon you and giving you peace.
