This week we continue our study with Revelation 1:10:
“I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet.”
The Apostle Paul wrote that “we have the mind of Christ,” not “I,” singular (see I Corinthians 2:16). It takes all of us coming together to fully manifest Christ. He was “the Apostle and High Priest of our confession” (see Hebrews 3:1). He was “The Prophet” of whom Moses spoke. He was the Teacher, the Evangelist, or “bearer of good news,” and He is our Shepherd.
We now want to go into a little more depth about how the Lord has been preparing for the coming of His kingdom throughout this church age. It is important to see this to understand the events that will be coming upon the world at the end of this age and our purpose in preparing the way for the coming kingdom.
As we continue our study on the fruit of the kingdom, we will begin this week with the most important text in the Bible about bearing fruit, which is the statement of the Lord Himself on this matter, as recorded in John 15:1-8:
As we have studied, racism is one of the ultimate enemies of mankind, and is of the character that is most basically opposed to the heart and ways of God. Racial conflict was also the first thing the Lord mentioned when He was asked about the signs of the end of the age. Therefore, those who are truly aligned with God and His purposes at the end must be free of this most basic enemy of the purposes of God.
This week we will continue the prophetic theme that we began last week concerning the way that major turning points have been reached, as well as some of the ways we are going to see Luke 17:20-21 fulfilled:
Our text for this week is Ephesians 2:1-7:
