Revelation - Jesus Love Letter to His Bride

Most people look at the book of Revelation as a book of Judgment and full of terrorizing images.  What they don't see is the true message of the book... LOVE!  It is Jesus "Love Letter" to His bride.. the church!   The entire book of Revelation starts out with "to Him who loved us and washed us from our sins by His own blood and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever."   Chapter 1 is the Person of Love.. Jesus Christ Himself.  Chapters 2 - 3 are His love letters to the 7 churches and Jesus desire for intimacy with us by telling us everything that stands between us and Him. Like a forsaken lover He cries "You have left your first love"!  Chapters 4 - 5 tells of the source of love.. the very throne of God.  All true love in the universe comes from there.  Chapters 6 - 19 tells of the extent Jesus is willing to go through to remove all evil from planet earth to create a home for us to reign with him for a 1,000 years!  These powerful chapters show the Cleansing Power of Love by allowing judgment on all that has come against His people Israel and the bride of Christ.  Like the days of Noah where the earth was cleansed by water, Jesus will now allow the earth to be cleansed by fire!  Peter says, "The elements (atoms) will melt with a fervent heat..."  Out of it will come the most beautiful planet ever seen.  Eden will again be created on earth as Satan will be bound 1,000 years and the curse will be lifted from planet earth.  Romans 8:21 says, "Because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God"   Chapters 20 - 22 are His eternal purpose of LOVE.. to abide with us forever and ever in oneness and unity! 

Why did John the apostle receive the book of Revelation?  Because he saw himself as the disciple "Whom Jesus Loved"  Love opens up our ability to receive revelation from Christ.  Christ's wisdom is hidden and must be discovered through LOVE.  "In Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."  says the book of Colossians. But LOVE unveils it!   Therefore Satan's greatest lie is to make people doubt God's love and reject it.  He wounds us and deceives us into believing that God is not absolute goodness and love. He makes people think that the book of Revelation is God's hatred of mankind.... an absolute lie!  The only judgment God has placed upon man's sin was at the cross...and Jesus took it fully and satisfied the JUSTICE of God completely when He said, "IT IS FINISHED". 

The judgments of Revelation are "Each man is judged according to HIS OWN WORKS".  Ask Jesus this season to reveal His love to you and then by faith began to declare it over your soul, mind and will.  Let your imagination soar into the vision of His unending, unhindered and awesome love.  Keep saying, "I am the disciple whom Jesus loves until your mind accepts it."  Your future depends on it!
