Revelation

The most important part in Revelations that has spoken to me would have to be the Body of Christ coming back to their first Love.
'I know your deeds and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate evil men, and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false; and you have perseverance and have endured for My name's sake, and have not grown weary. But I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place--unless you repent. Yet this you do have, that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 'He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, I will grant to eat of the tree of life which is in the Paradise of God.' –Revelation 2
The challenge of love is a challenge to warn a brother, you know? The more Jesus shows me about His Day (the Day of The Lord), the more excited and sober I get. I am continually challenged when I think, What would I do if I really believed he is coming soon to build a glorious kingdom from that city in the middle east (Jerusalem) and restore the earth to its beautiful, unmarred, lovely, painless state, and that the only way to make it and escape judgment for doing this to Creation and one another, is repenting from slavery to sin and putting our sin on the sacrifice of the slain Lamb? How could I claim loving the world if I kept it quiet? I tell my friends about shows, I warn children playing in the street, why not tell people of the hope that we have in the resurrection and coming kingdom, the freedom and right standing before the judge if we just cast ourselves on the mercy of God? before I shout out to the world I must dive back into the arms of my first love, wich in turn is throwing myself
