God will bless everyone who hears and obeys this prophecy. The time is almost here.
--- The Bible
The opening three verses of Revelation, are beautiful and simple. It simply states that the entire account of revelation to follow, was:
1. Shown by God to Jesus
2. So that Jesus could pass on the message to His servant through His angel
3. Blessed are those who read it, hear it and obey it
4. Most importantly, time is short
The time factor is mentioned twice - first, in verse 1, where it is mentioned that these things must happen soon, then again in the third verse, The time is almost here. I think this is pure brilliance and wordplay by John. Call it what you want, but a world where "soon" and "almost" takes more than 2000 years sounds totally bizarre and mind-blowing. Well... welcome to the world where Jesus Christ reigns. This simple time-factor helps us to understand that God really really really does not talk about or do things the way we humans do. His ways are higher than ours. Truly. Believe it. Bank on it. With all your heart.
God bless.
