This sermon introduction focuses on the imminent return of Jesus Christ, as prophesied in the final chapter of the book of Revelation in the Bible.
Good morning everybody! Open a Bible, if you will, to the very final page of the very final book: Revelation, chapter 22. Jesus speaks 3 times in this final chapter. In verse 7, He says… 7 “Look, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.” Revelation 22:7
In verse 12, He says… 12 “Look, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me to repay each person according to his work. Revelation 22:12
And in v. 20, it says… 20 He who testifies about these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon.” Revelation 22:20a
The word, “soon,” in Greek is, “tachu.” It sounds like “taco,” but it’s a very different word. The only thing “tachu” and “taco” have in common is that “tachu” means quickly, and Taco Bell makes tacos, quickly.
In Matthew 24, Jesus says, “For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.” Matthew 24:27 – If you’ve ever seen lightning, you know it comes quickly. When Jesus comes back, He’s not going mess around. He’s going to come in a flash.
Look, I am coming soon! Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.
Ever since Jesus ascended to heaven, people have been asking, “How soon is King Jesus coming?” In the last few months, many people have been asking, What is God up to right now? And… Are we living in what the Bible calls “The Last Days”? And… If we are in the Last Days, what should I do?
I want to answer those questions for you over these next several weeks together ... View this full sermon with PRO Premium
