An Introduction to the Book of Revelation

throne takes our minds away from being entangled into temporal
troubles. This sight takes us to that which is above troubles as well
as granting us comfort. The divine throne rises above all temporal
ones... This throne evokes no fear and causes us no embarrassment
because we gather around it to enjoy participating in the eternal glories.
5. In this book we see that God started loving us first. Hence
He begins by opening His doors for us, saying "See, I have set before
you an open door, and no one can shut it" 3:80. He gave us
power to trample on serpents, scorpions and all the powers of the
enemy, who exerts all efforts to deprive us of the opened divine
door! In return for this love He demands our love for Him. He says:
"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice
and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him and he
with Me" 3:20. In His love He will not break into our souls against
our will, and will not steal our hearts, but asks for it as well as giving
Himself to us.
In His love He wants to sit with us at our table, dine with us,
i.e., share our lives and make us sit with Him at His table and enjoy
satisfaction and eternal joy.
6. In the book of Revelation, God's word is completed and
His divine promises, mentioned in the two Testaments: the Old and
the New, are fulfilled... It is the book of New Exodus and the book
of congregational worship in the best way, as we shall see.
THE "SEVENS" OF REVELATION
Number "7" is repeated several times in Revelation, as it is
the book that sanctifies the present time (7 days of the week) based
on a review of our glorious past when God granted us great salvation.
This takes us to a sure future made by His hands.
Number 6 (7-1) is the number of imperfection, that's why the
number of the Antichrist is 666, i.e. imperfect, imperfect, imperfect,
or totally imperfect.
