Discuss Revelation 22 Page 31

I’m very grateful to have such references on how to love God with all my heart, better myself in God’s eyes, and serve him alone. With regard to Revelation 22:19, I give glory to God hence he gave great warnings as for anyone who wishes to recite or teach any preaching or any other lecture not to twist, tangle, misconstrue, alter etc.., the words of ‘the prophecies of the bible’: that may cause the Lord’s true followers to be confused with misunderstandings of the true word of God! Most important since this command is located near end of Bible, it’s one that sticks to you to obey; it gives off a very important spiritual closing!!!

The King James Version is the only true bible. All the others are bogus. God said in Revelation 22:19 “And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life.” This book of life is with God in heaven.

This chapter is the summary and conclusion to Lord's love letter to all Mankind. As through all the bible, Jesus is drawing men to himself in love and admonition. Verse 19 refers to the Book of Life, this is the book of the redeemed, the lists of the saved, salvation is life, eternal. Just like in our courts we are asked to swear to speak "the whole truth, and nothing but the truth", God commands us to do the same with his word. Too many churches teach partial truth to stay popular, what you save with, you save unto. This is a warning to preachers, teachers, parents, believers, anyone sharing the Holy Word. God will not let His Word be cut short or have things left out. Salvation of souls depends on this. "The righteousness He requires is the righteousness; His righteousness requires Him to require".

I hope my church did not remove this information, and I will be asking. And I hope to get to read it. Thank you for the knowledge, and the wonderful site I have never seen a site so easy to use. Thank you. Becky.

@Yolanda,
God will take away his part out of the book of life simply means “God will cancel all the rewards that were prepared for that one”. This means if somebody takes from the word of God, or adds to the word of God, that one will be losing (forfeiting) his/her rewards that God has prepared for him/her in the book fo life.

What does it mean that “God will take away his part out of the book of life”?

Now I have a question for you: Do you know what the water of live is? Revelation 22:17.

While it can be regarded as an admonition against altering the words of this prophecy, it is far too often taken as a warning against altering the Bible in total, or at all. If that were true it would explain a lot of the woes befalling the Catholic Church after their removal of the Apocrypha. But obviously the writer was referring to his own writings, NOT the Holy Bible...which did not exist for another 1600 years.

I think all of Revelation has all the truth we need in this crazy world we live in. It's just more and more people need to read the 1611 King James Bible. Also I think if we should stop and listen to what God is trying to tell us, instead of doing our own things all the time.

It is clear now how Many Can misinterpret the lessons of the bible when its messages are clouded by metaphoric simulations.

It sure seems at times that we walk through the dry land. I'm currently reading a book called; when God Writes Your Love Story; It’s been a real encouragement. Just to think that it is all worth the fight, and the wait. Knowing that God is in control and that's all that matters.

I have been TRYING my best to walk this walk for years now. I do struggle at times when I read. Now I am not illiterate but sometimes my comprehension well, let’s say, is a bit rough. Anyway this morning I was prompted to go to Revelation 22 and when I started to read verse 5, it blessed my heart. I am one who always says I would live in a home of glass if I could just to get all the light I could. I love daylight hours and every part of the day. But when I read that there is no need for light, candle or sun it excited me...... Just to know that the Lord whom I try to serve is really ALL WE NEED, and he will ultimately give all I desire. Well it just blessed me today. I know that sounds simple but that’s ok with me. I have need of things here like anyone else. But to know that we have God and he is supplying for all my needs, well what more do we need than him. Thank you! Have a blessed day.

What I think about Revelation is, warning comes before destruction. The word says that behold I came quickly and my reward is with me. Please read Revelation 22:21.

Wesley's notes for Revelation 22:13. God did not say "I am THE Alpha and Omega" He is Alpha and Omega. When you use "the" you refer to something apart from Him (God). Alpha and Omega is not some sort of coat God puts on to be Alpha and Omega... HE IS ALPHA AND OMEGA! Amen!

The river of life- water is something every human has to have to survive. This is a symbol for us to know that our spiritual life flows from the throne of God forever. Now, we can eat of the tree of life because it allows the soul to live forever. In the garden of Eden, it wasn't time for man to live forever, so Adam and Eve were forever expelled from the garden for disobeying God's order to not eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Anyone here picking up on the green trees? It is also mentioned in Jeremiah 10:2-4. The Catholics adopted Tummuze’s birthday and called it Christ’s. The green trees we are warned about here are today called Christmas trees. This is a historical fact easily researchable. All preachers keeping Sunday and calling it the Lord’s day are false prophets. Mark 2:28, Jesus clearly calls himself Lord of the Sabbath. Again the Catholics in 364 made the Canon Law XX1X that punished Christians by death for keeping God’s/Jesus’ Sabbath and not worshipping on Sunday. About the 1260 years called the dark ages, Ezekiel 8:12-18 warns us about worshipping Tummuz and facing east, when the sun comes up. Tammuz is the Baal sun, god’s son. It's his birthday the pagans observed and the Catholics adopted. All I have written is historical fact and most Christians like me don't know. God blessed me just this year with eyes to see and ears to hear how most Christians including myself are deceived. Jesus warns us many times how many will call him Lord but he won't know them. He is talking about Christians, atheists and other religions that don't call him Lord. Revelation 22:18-19 warns us about what will happen to those who add or take away from scripture. Sunday is not the Lord’s day and it has never been hallowed and commanded to be kept holy and rested on. Anyone wanting websites with proof both from the bible and other websites, I will gladly forward from my email if you respond here. Be a Berean, and prove all things.

I feel that we should all know God’s name but we should not use it, after all you would not call your dad by his name would you, that would be disrespectful, likewise with God’s name. If it was real in the old manuscripts then it should not have ever been removed ( Revelation 22:18-19).

Revelation scriptures humble me. And I thank the Almighty God for it.

For I testify unto every man that heareth the word of the of this book, if any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book; and if any man shall take away from the word of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. Revelation 22:18,19.

I think that it may be related to the Garden of Eden, when God made man in His image, Genesis 2:8, 3:23. Genesis 4:16 tells of Cain going to the land of Nod and starting a family, whom God had marked for other men not to slay him. Maybe that Revelation 22:15 could be talking about that. Outside the Garden. Thank you and please write back to tell me what you think. Hope I expressed myself right. JESUS IS MY LORD! David.

Regarding the removal of Jehovah's name from ANY Bible...I guess that they didn't read or understand Revelation 22:19.

@Afriyie,
The best explanation on why certain versions of the bible remove or add to God’s holy word (King James 1611 version) is the men behind these versions are bold enough to usurp authority over God’s authority. Men have been doing so since 1881 under the umbrella of reasoning that they are doing society a tremendous service of providing (or perverting) man with easier to read and understandable versions (I dare not call them bibles) sometimes good men of God doing the devil’s work with good so called intentions. All they really have accomplished is to add confusion and doubt into the very simplicity that is in Jesus Christ ( II Corinthians 11:3). There is still a remnant that believes in ( II Corinthians 2:17). Take heed from Revelation 22:18, Deuteronomy 4:2, Proverbs 30:6.

Please take the scriptures at his word. See Matthew 9:5-6 and Luke 23:43 "today" simply means that, that is when the statement was made, that day. Paradise also includes the Garden of Eden, (earthly restoration of the kingdom) Jesus is a spirit being; (born out of the spirit, is “spirit". John 3:6 after a spiritual church is complete, the earth, and the "thief" will be resurrected to a physical condition; understand and repent and be nourished to a perfect physical condition! No limited "physical" church can accomplish this! It has been tried, see 1Corinthians15:50 "kingdom", equals the government.. Revelation 22:1; 22:17.

@Joe,
Basically no one is entitled to change or add or subtract anything from the Bible ( Revelation 22:18-19).
Some people sure do so, but not without consequences ( 2 Peter 3:14-15).
God bless you.

Read the whole Bible, don't listen to anyone\'s opinion. Read & follow all of God\'s laws, commandments & statutes and you will enter into rest with HIM in Zion. Don\'t follow God\'s laws, commandments & statutes and you will be tossed in the lake of fire it\'s as simple as that.....

I don't know if this applies to anyone but after I read this last section, I almost felt light-hearted and kind of warm. I'd never felt that way in my whole life and it feels like I'm being held. This is the greatest feeling I've ever felt.

The idea of always being prepared makes me think of the man who lived next door to us when I was growing up. When Mr. Nienhuis came home, he never failed to back his car into the garage. That seemed unusual to me until my mother explained that Nels was a volunteer fireman. If he got a call, he had to be ready to race to the fire station. He backed in so he could leave quickly when he had to report for duty.

To be well prepared is important in so much of life. “If I had 8 hours to chop down a tree, I’d spend 6 sharpening my axe,” said Abraham Lincoln. We prepare for a career by studying. We buy insurance in case of a car accident or a house fire. We even prepare for the end of life by making a will to provide for loved ones.

The Bible tells us we must prepare ourselves spiritually as well. We do that by putting on spiritual armor to protect ourselves from spiritual attack ( Eph. 6:10-20); by preparing our minds for holy living ( 1 Peter 1:13); by making sure we’re always prepared to answer questions about the reason for the hope we possess (3:15); and by ensuring that we are ready for the promised return of Jesus ( Matt. 24:44).

How well prepared are you for what lies ahead? Unsure? Ask the Lord for His help and guidance.
When I awake at early mornTo meet the coming day,I want to be prepared to takeWhatever comes my way. GERSHION D WETLE.

Jesus said behold I am coming quickly, and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. We are workers for Jesus, and we are working in His vineyard. What ever is right, He will pay. So let us continue to share the good news to every person, so that they can repent of their sins, and receive Jesus Christ as their Savior. There is no other name given unto man where by he must be saved, and it is Jesus the Messiah. The book of Revelation, is about the unveiling of the Lord Jesus Christ in all of His glory, and we will see Him face to face when He comes to take us to be with all the saints in heaven. Let us work while it is day, for when the night comes, no man can work.

BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO KEEP THE WORDS OF PROPHECY IN THIS BOOK!!!!!
IS THE MESSIAH SPEAKING OF HIS SABBATHS?

According to to all these Bible scriptures and the Hebrew prophets there is no Son of GOD who is not also! GOD(Hebrews1:6-13) because if he is not God manifest in the flesh then he's not the son of God either ( 1Timothy 3:16) Psalms 100:2 says know ye that the Lord he is God" How many Gods do you think there are? To say that Jesus is separate from God contradicts the words of Jesus himself (StJohn10:30) even the Devil knows there's one God and trembles, to believe there's more than one God is to be a heathen(Deuteronomy6:4 (James2:19) ( Isaiah 9:6_(40:3..6(44:6..8)(45:20..23)(Psalms110) Revelation 22:3..5 tells us int the end there is no more curse but the throne of God and of the Lamb is in it that concludes the whole prophetic word of redemption, once the son ship is over! Jesus Christ in his eternal glory is the eternal God.
