Summary: He set’s on His Throne of Glory which will be just after the Tribulation, but just before He set up His 1000 year Kingdom, the SHEEP as He refers to them, gave aid to the Jews some how or other during the 7 year tribulation, so they make up the people fro
Galaxies are believed to be in the billions, and there are just too many stars to even attempt to count.
The Government will be on His shoulders and of HIS Kingdom there will be no end, I am of the opinion that if we will be faithful to Him now on this side of the rapture, He’ll allow many to be in charge of different territories and cities in the 1000 year reign and even in the New Creation. We’re told that we will reign with Him forever, and forever is a pretty good while.
5And there shall be no night there;(the city) and they need no candle, neither light of the sun; for the Lord God giveth them light: and they shall reign for ever and ever.
Let’s notice that we’re not told that there’ll be no Sun, but that this City, New Jerusalem would have no need of it.

Ø In these last few verses of the Revelation, we hear parting words from several different voices, and It’ not always easy to know who is speaking, now lets read beginning with verse 6.
6And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.
--- These words are faithful and true:
The angel that has shown these things to John declares it to be true and the things which must shortly be done.
----------------------------
And then Jesus Himself says with a reminder to all that He is coming quickly.
The word ’quickly’ can also mean ’suddenly’—when it’s time for Him to rapture His Church, and even at the 2nd coming it will be suddenly.
7Behold, I come quickly: blessed is he that keepeth the sayings of the prophecy of this book.
This reminds us that prophecy is for us to keep, not just something interesting to talk about. The main intent of prophecy is to lead us to trust and obey God, and apply His truth to the way we live.
------------------------------------------
8And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.
9Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
This is the 2nd time that John does this, the 1st time was in chapter 19:10, and both times John is rebuked by the angel, and tells John that he himself is like John and all other servants of God, that only God is to be worshipped. I’m sure that John knew that but he became so over whelmed at these things that he just had to get on his knees.
No created being should ever be worshipped.

Ø And then we have a warning, either by the same angel or by Jesus.
10And he saith unto me, Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.
11He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.
The last days started when the Lord Jesus appeared on the scene, when He came He brought grace and truth according to
