Revelation 1:16-18 Holy Finish Mark
16 In His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength. 17 When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. And He placed His right hand on me, saying, “Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, 18 and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.
It does not take a genius to understand the book of Revelation, but only a spiritual-born Christian will. A carnal-minded, book-wise person will not. Revelation is the last book of the Holy Bible, so knowing the 65 books before is helpful. Famous intelligent scientists such as Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin, Stephen Hawkins, and Neil deGrasse Tyson don’t believe in God. According to their understanding, the university could not be created in 7 days. So they believe the God of the Holy Bible is a fairy tale. The Lord is the Creator of heaven and earth, and He accomplishes creation in 7 days. God made the seventh day holy and named it His Sabbath because He is the Lord of Creation. The fourth commandment tells God’s followers to remember the Sabbath day as a commandment, so His followers would remember He is the only Creator.
The Lord Jesus is the light of the world; on the fourth day of creation, God placed stars in the night sky. God said let there be light on the first day of creation; that gave a dead world new life. The Word that comes from God’s mouth is like a double-edged sword. It is a double edge because it heals and harms simultaneously. God’s Word, chase the darkness away when He said let there be light. With the same Word, Jesus said, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do, so He gave His life for the sins of the world, and He asked Father God to forgive us. After that moment, darkness appeared on the land, and many feared what had just happened.
Oddly, Jesus said He had accomplished all He came to do on the sixth day of the week and died just before the Sabbath. Like the Roman centurion, John threw himself down at Jesus’ feet. The merciful Creator extends His hand and tells him, rest your fears; I accomplished all so that you can have everlasting life. He will do the same for all who remember He is Lord. God bless you all; the Lord Jesus loves you, and so do I. His humble bondservant, Samuel Jerry Head.
