  • Verse to DATE the Word on November 15 (11/15) is Revelation 11:15

    “Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, 
    “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ,
    and He shall reign forever and ever!” – Revelation 11:15
    And HE SHALL REIGN FOREVER AND EVER!!!

    We live in a world that is known as the kingdom of darkness.
    See Eph. 6:12 … against the rulers of the darkness of this age.”  
    See Eph. 2:2 “in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience.”  
    See 1 John 5:19 “We know that we are from God, and the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.”  
    See Matthew 4:8-9 “Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.”

    These kingdoms oppose and resist Christ, but they will not win. Revelation 11:15 tells that there is coming a day when Christ will conquer and HE WILL REIGN.  His first coming was to be crucified. His second coming will be to conquer. In His first coming He provided REDEMPTION.  In His second coming He will REIGN FOREVER AND EVER! There will be no kingdoms that will be able to stand against Him. Individually or corporately, make no mistake HE WILL REIGN OVER ALL FOREVER AND EVER! 

    What a glorious day that will be! May His kingdom come!

    BTW, when I pray the Lord’s prayer that appeals “Your kingdom come” my mind goes to Revelation 11:15.  And then I add Revelation 22:20 “Even so, come, Lord Jesus!”

  • Verse to DATE the Word on July 17 (7/17) is Revelation 7:17

    “For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them 
    and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe
    away every tear from their eyes.” – Revelation 7:17
    As I read this precious verse, I can’t help but think of the song “THERE IS COMING A DAY…No more tears to dim the eyes….. What a day, glorious day that will be!”  Can you imagine NO MORE TEARS! 

    Our verse tells us of a glorious future.  For the believer, the BEST is yet to come!  Revelation 7:17 tells us that our Savior, the Lamb of God will SHEPHERD us.  To read that word surely takes you to Psalm 23 and verse 1 where David wrote, “The Lord is my SHEPHERD, I shall not want.”   

    In heaven, the Lamb of God shepherds us by leading us to LIVING FOUNTAINS OF WATER. As David’s Shepherd led one to the still waters, so we will be brought to the LIVING FOUNTAINS of WATER.  There will be no more thirst!!  

    “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”  This phrase has been a longing in the heart of God’s people since Isaiah wrote in Isaiah 25:8 “He will swallow up death forever, And the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from all faces.”  Not that we needed it but this precious future act of God is repeated in Revelation 21:4.  It says, “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.

    Friends, there is COMING A DAY where there will be NO MORE TEARS.  No more tears of heartache. No more tears of pain.  No more tears from hearing awful news.  No more tears from suffering, especially watching those we love suffering. (Can you imagine how a persecuted believer felt as they read this?) No more tears of sorrow. No more tears holding a loved one’s hand as they die. No more tears standing at a grave.  

    There is COMING A DAY of NO MORE TEARS!

    Verse to DATE the Word on this July 17 (7/17) is Revelation 7:17 “For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”   

    Always remember that for the BELIEVER THE BEST IS YET TO COME.
