The Blessed in the Book of Revelation

Jesus said, “Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.” [1]

“‘Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.’ ‘Yes,’ says the Spirit, ‘that they may rest from their labors, and their works follow them.’” [2]

“Blessed is he who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” [3]

“’Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ And he said to me, ’These are the true sayings of God.’” [4]

“Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.” [5]

“Blessed are those who do His commandments that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter through the gates into the city.” [6]

The blessed keep the words of the Revelation prophecy. We watch. We remain ready for the Lord’s return. We have an invitation to be at the marriage supper of the Lamb. We keep the commands of God while we wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to return.

A new heaven and new earth is in the making! [7] Jesus, the faithful and true witness – the one who was dead but now is alive – is about to bring it. 
Thank You Heavenly Father for this blessed hope!
