God’s Playbook
February 2, 2020
In Revelation 1:3 Jesus tells the Apostle John, “Blessed is the man who reads this book and retains these things in his knowledge for the time is at hand.” The Book of Revelation is the last book in the Bible and when you study it you learn that it is filled with different transactions happening on the earth and in heaven. The things we read in this book will give us pause because it speaks of great carnage and disasters. And we wonder; how can we be blessed in all of this? Allow me to draw a correlation between end times and Moses because God told Moses the order of things that were going to happen during the ten plagues in Exodus.
Moses knew the Nile would turn into blood and there would be frogs, lice, flies, etc. And for each of those events God told His servant Moses beforehand what would happen and Moses in turn gave the people what God was going to do next. This way they were able to adjust their lives and prepare themselves. We learn through Scripture that during some of the plagues they were completely protected while in other cases God supplied them with provisions to get through the disaster. As the plagues came upon the Egyptians it caused great turmoil within their society and they did not know what was going to happen next but God’s people had peace.
So if we are here on earth during this time and we have the Bible and we understand the Word of God then we will know what is coming next. Having this knowledge ahead of time will be similar to the days of Moses and the ten plagues. This revelation will allow us to be prepared, and we will have the knowledge to teach and preach to those who are lacking. We will have God’s playbook and will know what’s going to happen. It’s amazing to know what a blessing it is that Jesus gave us this revelation and that God will give us whatever we need to get through the days of tribulation! Amen.
Be Blessed,
Sebastian
