/*The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His 
servants what must soon take place. -- Revelation 1:1*/

It's a big world out there. And things get bigger, much bigger, when God 
steps in to bring history to a screeching halt. Like a great wave, 
humanity's hatred of God rushes in, but, like any other wave, it breaks 
on the shore of eternity and it is no more.

The day of evil is coming to an end.

How do we wrap our minds around the enormity of God's plan? How do we 
find room in our hearts to contain the majesty, the wrath, the holiness 
of God? I'm not sure that we can.

Yet God chooses to share His plans with us.

I remember sitting in my brother-in-law's hot tub on a cold December 
night looking up into a clear starry sky trying to comprehend the 
magnitude of what I saw.

The book of Revelation is a gift to God's servants. It is a gift to know 
that God has seen everything, and now He responds. It is a gift to know 
that that the full power of evil has no more ability to stop God's plans 
than a blade of grass has the power to stop my Suburban. It is a gift to 
know that our prayers matter, that our suffering counts, that our deeds 
are measured. And it is a gift to know that we are -- all of us -- 
children before the One who towers over the earth like the stars on a 
clear December night.

Be encouraged!
