A Preview of Coming Attractions

Revelation 22:17-21, Revelation 21:1-4, Revelation 7:9-10

 The final message of Revelation can be summarized with one word: COME!

 Hebrews 10:25, “let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.”

 1) Come … because there is a coming day

(See Revelation 21:1-4)
v3, “I heard a loud shout from the throne, saying, “Look, God’s home is NOW among his people! He will live with them, and they will be his people. God himself will be with them.”

2) Come … because there is a coming one. 

(See Revelation 22:7 & 12-13)
“Look, I am coming soon! Blessed are those who obey the words of prophecy written in this book.” Revelation 22:7

 “Look, I am coming soon, bringing my reward with me to repay all people according to their deeds. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” Revelation 22:12-13

 “After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes and held palm branches in their hands.  And they were shouting with a great roar, “Salvation comes from our God who sits on the throne and from the Lamb!”   Revelation 7:9-10

3) Come … because there is a coming work.

Purpose: The purpose of the church is to lift up and glorify the name of Jesus!

“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this message for the churches. I am both the source of David and the heir to his throne. I am the bright morning star.” Revelation 22:16

Mission: The mission of the church is to invite others to come to Christ.

The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” Let anyone who hears this say, “Come.” Let anyone who is thirsty come. Let anyone who desires drink freely from the water of life.  Revelation 22:17
