Why is it some don't take seriously What's written in God's word? They say the book of Revelation That it don't need to be heard. They think it is irrelevant, When it happens, they won't be here This is very contrary To what it says in there The teaching of man's tradition What they think that it should mean By taking from and adding to God's word, they haven't seen. It clearly states in Revelation Go on and take a look That whosever takes away, Will be taken from Life's book. For if you add what is not there Of the prophecy of this book The plaques that are written therein Will be added to you, go look. You'll find it in the very back Revelations means to unveil It's not something that's hidden But shown so you'll prevail Be careful with the words of men Always check them out For what is written is what must be God states that with no doubt. I think it very serious This promise made herein For it concerns your very life And the soul that lies within The punishment is quite severe For those who will not heed It will cost your eternal soul If your not planting God's true seed. I think it would be safe to do If we stuck with what God said And taught the written word And not man's thoughts instead. Revelation 22:18-19 <*\\\>< Jesus is the reason for the season Keep Christ in CHRISTmas |

Amen Rebecca! Couldn't have said it better myself and I mean that! ~*~ Hell is not a place of fire and a devil with a tail and horns. But a place of torment because the light of God is gone. To escape this, accept the blood of Jesus Christ! ~*~ |

Nate I am truly blessed by a reply such as yours. I almost threw this one in the garbage the other day. Thanks to Poet Devine, she told me I better not! Once again Nate thank you so very much! That is quite the compliment, but all credit goes unto the Lord, for it is His masterpiece and He that inspires me! God bless you! Samsonheart thank you! It is always good to check it out against scripture! Echo, I miss you sweetie!~ Thank you my dear, and that is very sincerely. I am praying for you and I hope to talk with you soon! Mirjam thank you very much! Truly inspired by God. <*\\\>< Jesus is the reason for the season Keep Christ in CHRISTmas |

People can twist scripture to mean whatever it is they want it to mean. I think that is one of the beautiful things about the bible, its open to our interpretation. That is why they call it the Living Book. |

Truer words could not be spoken, Rebecca. This has always bothered me in the back of my mind, the way some religions feel so adamantly free to change (add or subtract) from the word of God. You've stated the point very, very well here. Amen! Michael |

Blueyz...thank you. We are not to change what is written to fit us, but to abide by the word of God. It is called the Living Word because Jesus is the Word...John 1:1... In the beginning was the WORD, and the Word was with God, and the WORD was God. IN Hebrews 10:7 Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me.) to do thy will, O God. Michael thank you! Yes, to change it to fit our needs or what we think it would fit, is changing the word of God. It's very important not to do that. Things will happen as they are written. It is to fulfill what is written...and God will not stray from that path! <*\\\>< Where there is faith, there is love. Where there is love, there is peace. Where there is peace, there is GOD.

I admire your insight into the Word,Dove. Most believers don't bother with this book, because it is full of parables,etc.. There have probably been more books of esplanation written about this last book of the Bible tho' than any of the others..I don't pay too much attn' to them tho'..most are just mens' carnal thoughts of what it means..and there are probably as many renditions of thought as there are books..huh? I like your interpretation as much as any! I believe it's a lot more on target than theirs! By the way, I have a friend who has been studying Revelation exclusively for 7 years. He lives in N.W. Ark. He is currently writing a book [also] on Rev..I think you wil find this one quite different than all the others. This one is inspired by the Spirit and 100'sX of hours of torturous,dedicated studying and praying..& the reward is there to be seen in the words..YOU would be fascinated by the truths in this soon to be book. Again,I truly love your mission here in the forum & may the Holy Spirit continue to whisper truths into your understanding..The Word says "light is whatsoever maketh manifest"..Bless you.. james david 7 & |

James thank you, I sure appreciate that. I have been studying with an Arnold Murray in Northern Ark for around 8-9 years now. He has taught revelations many times. I hope your friend has success on his book. I sure would be interested in looking at it, as the things that I have been taught not many know about. It would be interesting to see all the time and effort he's put into this. Thanks again! <*\\\>< Where there is faith, there is love. Where there is love, there is peace.

What shall we say to these things? Whtdove you have captured this scripture so profoundly. Even a small child could understand it through this poem. Keep up the great work. You've definitely made me do some self inventory just to make sure that when that trumpet sounds, I'll be one of the ones that hears it. Listen to your mom about your children. "And the children shall lead the way..." |

Revelation was the first book of the bible that I read, It is one of my favorites because it is filled with so much mystery of God and his intelligence! Your poem was great! So many people are lost and being mislead because of wrong beliefs which ADD to the bible and some change it and take away! I believe in the whole bible! Every word is written for me! ![]() Amen!

Romantic Heart, isn't that funny, that is the very first book I started with too! It sure is full of symbology and wonders! I'm glad to hear you take it as a whole, because it was, ALL of it, written for us, so that we may know what is to come. "For there is nothing new under the sun." It is an example to us, for what was will be again, as it was in the beginning it shall be in the end" I'm all for it, let's go! ![]() Thank you RH! <*\\\>< Where there is faith, there is love.

PRAISE THE LORD! I too read REVELATIONS first. And it scared me to the point that I cried for days on end. But it made me check myself and my life. And now I can say I am a new creature made clean and whole.... Whtdove and Romantic Heart "LET'S HAVE CHURCH UP IN HERE!!!!" We can start something very profound by letting the Lord's Spirit move in This Forum!!! I'm Ready! |

Thanks Shirl, that's a great thought, but I don't actually think I could do that here. It would have to be done privately. I have to say at first that book scared me too, but now that I've studied it, and know God is my protector, I have nothing to fear. The book is full of symbology and has quite a bit of information if you can understand it! I'd be happy to do some over icq, or in email or something....but I cannot start something like that here, alright? <*\\\>< Where there is faith, there is love. Where there is love, there is peace.

You talk of Angels Here is an Angel I send to you Angel To sense the presence of an angel is like feeling the wind all around you. You cannot actually see the wind, but you notice it’s movement, and you know that it is there. (Unkown) Hope that your Angel will always be around you, can you feel a breeze. Helmut The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Thank you Majestic! The traditions of men can sure be decieving. Everything "man" or I should say Humans do gets us in trouble and when we start doing that with God's word...we best beware! <*\\\>< Where there is faith, there is love.

Rebecca- It is nice seeing that you indeed have some scholarly knowledge in important parts of the Bible like Revelations. It has so many dramatic passages and so many important messages hidden beyond metaphorical words. No man shall add to what was put down by the command of God, nor twist the words or take them away. I thought this an excellent read and most direct to the point. |

Thank you Arthur! I am really overwhelmed by all the responses this has generated. It's funny as I was talking with my husband this morning about web pages. He was saying to make one about where others could be helped in the word of God. I was like naw...I have recieved 2 emails to that affect today also. Maybe God is telling me something you think? I am looking to go into web design you all, and it may take me a while to get it up and running, cause as of the moment I don't know to much about it. I thank you all for your responses, and think I might just do something to that affect! God bless you all! <*\\\>< Where there is faith, there is love. Where there is love, there is peace.

Words of wisdom, Rebecca! Very powerful piece. 'Let God be true and every man a liar'(don't know the address but it just popped into my head just now) How I wish I could just shake some people so they would wake up to the truth, ya know? So frustrating at times.....especially when family members are involved. So enamored by the 'traditions of men' when it comes to religion.......I'll just keep praying for them. Great poem, again, Rebecca!

Denise good scripture. What else comes to mind here is don't throw pearls before swine! It is frustrating I know! But you plant and it's up to God to make it grow.
