On 16th May 2010, I commenced a series of studies on the Book of Revelation. It has been a challenging, profitable and interesting exercise for me. It has taken me more than a year to complete the series.
This morning I did the last chapter. John's vision comes to an end and he closes the book with some reflections on what he has written, makes a appeal, pronounces the benediction and ends with Amen.
Amen! Nothing can thwart God's will and purpose. Satan thinks he can, some people in their pride think they can, but God is sovereign.
Amen refers to the title of Christ as 'the God of Truth'. When we say Amen, we mean "So be it" and "most assuredly." We proclaim the affirmation of His Truth and ways.
For the next few weeks, I shall be looking at the subject of "Last things." Salvation Army Doctrine No. 11 states, "We believe in the immortality of the soul; in the resurrection of the body; in the general judgment at the end of the world; in the eternal happiness of the righteous; and in the endless punishment of the wicked."
