The River of Life!
Scripture reading for December 28th: Zechariah 11-14, Revelation 22
Key Scriptures: Revelation 22:1-4 “Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city; also on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it and His servants will worship Him. They will see His face and His Name will be on their foreheads.”
John’s concluding chapter begins with a vision of the river of the water of life. It flowed from the throne of God and the Lamb and the tree of life was growing on its banks. The fruit was new every month, twelve kinds! The leaves were for healing of the nations. The water was crystal clear and pure, a source of refreshing and eternal life!
Zechariah 14:8-9 “On that day living waters shall flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea and half of them to the western sea. It shall continue in summer as in winter. And the Lord will be king over all the earth. On that day the Lord will be One and His Name One.”
Prayer: Lord Jesus, I long to see You face to face! Thank You for giving understanding to Your people through the prophesies of Scripture. We long to drink the living water and eat of the tree of life! Jesus, You are the source of eternal satisfaction! Amen.
The King Reigns Eternally!
Scripture reading for December 14th: Revelation 11
Key Scriptures for over-comers: Revelation 11:15-17 “The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ, and He will reign for ever and ever.” And the twenty-four elders, who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying: “We give thanks to You, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken Your great power and begun to reign. . .”
The earth longs for her true Ruler, the Creator and Life-Giver! At a point in time future, this heavenly reality will become visible here on earth! John sees this seventh angel sounding his trumpet and hears voices from heaven announcing the enthroning of our Lord and His Christ! Upon this announcement, the heavenly temple was opened and the Ark of the Covenant was seen by John, accompanied by lightning and thunder and a great earthquake and hailstorm!
Observations for over-comers: The kingdom of this world is destined to belong to Christ and His Bride–forever! Let’s live like this is a reality–it is! “On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem, half to the eastern sea and half to the western sea, in summer and in winter. The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and His Name the only name!” (Zechariah 14:8-9)
