From "The Lord my Portion" The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave to him to show unto his servants, even the things which must shortly come to pass. Revelation 1.1. In recording all the future events found in the book of Revelation, John aims not at our knowing how and when these things will happen but at our recognizing how Jesus Christ shall reign on the throne. That Jesus Christ is King on the thronethat is what the book of Revelation would have us to know. We know Him as the Savior, yet such a knowledge is not enough, because we must also know Him as King. We must know the severity of the Lord as well as the love of the Lord. Let us clearly understand that the purpose of Revelation is to cause us to know more of this Jesus Christ that we may be watchful and prepared till the day we shall see Him face to face.

Sadly, the church has made a Jesus Christ of their own imagination. To the point that few seem to realise that we must all stand before the judgment seat of Christ, 2 Cor 5v10."You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power. For You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created."Christ is king. Let's remember our place before Him.Bow before Him now.
