June 1st

I read 2 Kings 8:

When king Ben-Hadad sent Hazael to ask Elisha if he would recover from his illness, Elisha said that he would. He also said that he would also die and Hazael would do horrible things as the next king. Hazael only told the king about the part of the prophecy that he would recover, and then suffocated the king with a wet cloth while he slept.

I listened to (Week 16, Day 80) of the Immerse Audio reading plan today also. (This is the last day of this particular New Testament reading plan I started together with my local church)

Revelation 19:11-21:

A white horse with a flaming-eyed rider wearing a blood dipped robe with His title printed on his thigh is revealed from the clouds of heaven. His army, wearing white linen and also on horses followed Him. The beast and the kings of the world gathered to fight against the rider and his army. The beast and his false prophet were thrown into the lake of burning sulfur. Their entire army was killed by the sword that protruded from the rider’s mouth. Vultures gorged themselves on the flesh of the slaughtered masses.

Revelation 20:

An angel chained up the dragon for a thousand years, throwing him into a bottomless pit. After the thousand years were up, the dragon would try to deceive the nations again and start a war with God’s people and city. Fire came down from Heaven to consume them. The devil was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur together with the beast and false prophet. Then all of the dead were judged according to their deeds, and then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire, unless their names were already recorded in the book of life.

Revelation 21:

God brought a new Jerusalem down from Heaven to the Earth, which was vacant of land structures and geographic details. He said that He will now live with mankind, and wipe away their tears and take away their pain. But those who are corrupt, Practice witchcraft, are immoral, lie, worship idols, and unbelievers will be thrown into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. Then an angel showed the new city of God, which was a cube made of fine materials. All those who have their name written in the Lamb’s book of life can enter, others cannot.

Revelation 22:

There was a river of life, which watered trees that produced fruit to heal the nations. All curses were ended. Night no longer exists, everyone worships God, and they all rule together. John was warned not to hide any detail written in this prophecy, and all are encouraged to keep their robes clean.

Let all who are doing harm continue to do harm, and let all who are vile continue to be vile. Let those who are righteous continue to be righteous, and let those who are holy continue to be holy.

God’s judgement will come soon. All will be repaid according to their deeds. May the grace of Jesus be with God’s holy people.
