Welcome, friends, to another
broadcast of Morsels for Zion's Poor. John was given the revelation
of Jesus Christ, which forms the last book of the Bible. There
cannot be another. And all who claim to have received
other books or revelations are impostors and enemies of the
truth of God. For I testify unto every man
that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any
man shall add to these things, God shall add to him the plagues
that are written in this book. And if any man shall take away
from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take
away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy
city, and from the things which are written in this book. This
book, which was given to John to record, is the summation of
all that Jesus Christ has performed in the earth. God, who at sundry
times and in diverse manners spake in time past unto the fathers
by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by his
Son. whom he hath appointed heir of
all things, by whom also he made the worlds. There is no other
truth which is to be revealed. This is the stone which was set
at dawn of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.
Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none
other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
saved. John tells of a book which he
saw and the one who held that book. And I saw in the right
hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on
the backside, sealed with seven seals. This book that he saw
was complete. There was no room left inside
or even upon the back. This book was held in the hand
of him who wrote it and sealed it. He is also the only one who
could rightly open it and loose the seals thereof. As the author
and finisher of that book, he alone is worthy to reveal its
contents. Now this book of which we speak
is not the Bible per se, although he is the author of it, but rather
of the entire purpose of God, of which the Bible is but a textbook
written for the benefit of his children. The creation which
He has formed according to that purpose declares His glory and
is brought in submission to Him who ruleth over all. Wherefore
God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which
is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee
should bow, things in heaven and things in earth and things
under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Thus John
saw this glorious sight. And I beheld, and I heard the
voice of many angels round about the throne, and the beasts, and
the elders, and the number of them was ten thousand times ten
thousand, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, Worthy
is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and
wisdom, and strength, and glory, and honor, and blessing. And
every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the
earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them,
heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power,
be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb
forever and ever. And the four beasts said, Amen.
And the four and twenty elders fell down and worshipped him
that liveth forever. That glory which ever surrounds
him is centered in his righteousness, which is seen by Ezekiel in his
vision of that one clothed in linen. He is seen by John astride
that white horse. And I saw, behold, a white horse.
And he that sat on him had a bow, and a crown was given unto him.
And he went forth conquering and to conquer. And I saw heaven
opened, and behold, a white horse. And he that sat upon him was
called faithful and true. And in righteousness he doth
judge and make war. Not only did he see him clothed
in his own righteousness, but he saw that his army which followed
him was clothed by him in the same. And the armies which were
in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen,
white and clean. Let us be glad and rejoice and
give honor to him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and his
wife hath made herself ready. And to her was granted that she
should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white, for the fine
linen is the righteousness of saints. How glorious is the fact
that He who has determined the end from the beginning has betrothed
to Himself a bride of His own choosing. He has created a world
to display the glory of His grace in redeeming her from the sin,
shame, and ruin which she had so gladly embraced. Has there
ever been a love like this? Has there ever been such a faithful
and true Redeemer? What shall we say then to these
things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared
not his own son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall
he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay
anything to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Are you clothed in his righteousness?
