Revelation 4:1

Good morning everyone! God is good all the time! All the time God is good! What ideas or conceptions do you have of heaven? What is it like to be in the presence of and see Jesus? What does it mean to worship God?

Revelation 4:1 "After these things I looked, and behold a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, "Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.""

This is a command for John to be temporarily transported to heaven "in the Spirit" to receive revelation about future events. This is Jesus' voice.

This begins the third and final section of the book, describing the events that will follow the Church age.

These chapters, 4 and 5, record glimpses into Christ's glory. Here we see into the throne room of heaven, God is on the throne and orchestrating all the events that John will record. The world is not spinning out of control; the God of creation will carry out his plans as Christ initiates the final battle with the forces of evil. John shows us heaven before showing us earth so that we will not be frightened by future events. Love you all.

In Christ's Love and Grace
