“Come, Lord Jesus.”
The book of Revelation ends with an urgent request: “Come, Lord Jesus.” In a world of problems, evil, Christ calls us to endure in our faith.
Book of Revelation closes human history as Genesis had opened it—in paradise. But Revelation has a distinct difference—evil is gone forever.
Genesis describes Adam and Eve walking and talking with God; Revelation describes people worshiping God face-to-face. The Garden of Eden was destroyed by sin; but paradise is re-created in the new Jerusalem.
WHO IS JESUS?
The voice on the mountain proclaimed Jesus as God’s “beloved Son.” Many images catch sides of Jesus, from classical art to the musical’s Superstar. But at the heart of it, Jesus is God’s beloved Son who deserves our worship and obedience. Not just a friend, more than a moralist, greater than a fearless leader—this is the Christ. Follow him, worship him. Matthew 17:5
Romans 11:26-27
And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: “The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; For this is My covenant with them, When I take away their sins.”

What is the inspiration of Scripture?
Inspiration comes from the Greek theopneustos, which means “God breathed out.” The Bible says, “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God” (2 Tim. 3:16). This means God breathed or put His Spirit into/on the words of Scripture.
The inspiration is the guidance or influence of the Holy Spirit on the human writers of Scripture so that God controlled them in such a way that they wrote exactly what God wanted them to write without error (2 Tim. 3:15).
Adonai and Wisdom
Mishlei 3:1–5
Proverbs 3:1-5
Trust in Adonai with all your heart; do not rely on your own understanding.
Don’t be conceited about your own wisdom; but fear Adonai, and turn from evil.
Honor Adonai with your wealth and with the firstfruits of all your income.
My son, don’t despise Adonai’s discipline or resent his reproof.
Adonai by wisdom founded the earth, by understanding he established the heavens.
