Happy New Year! Kees was challenged a few weeks ago by 1 Tim 4:13 where Paul tells Timothy “Until I come devote yourselves to the public reading of Scripture”. There’s something that happens as we listen to Scripture being read. Elsewhere in Rom 10:17 “So faith comes by hearing and hearing through the word of […]
Come Lord Jesus

The intimacy of God with his people is stressed further in today’s passage, along with an abundance of blessing. Revelation is meant to increase our desire and longing for God and for us to realise His purposes. The wonderful surety of final bliss comforts us now and in tough times.

This passage has many allusions to Old Testament prophecies about ancient Babylon and Tyre (Jeremiah 50-51, Ezekiel 27). Babylon’s fall is complete – nothing left. Unlike Jerusalem in the exile, there will be no remnant or […]
The final final battle

There are so many “final” battles, I might be confused which one it is! Actually I’m not, because Revelation is not written in chronological order, it is written thematically. John has had another vision and is tackling the end from another angle. Heaven opens and the whole world can see the divine warrior on a […]
