What Must Soon Take Place, the Servants, and These Things
Main reference: Rv 1:1, Rv 22:16 (NKJV)
What are the meanings of “what must soon take place” and “the servants” that God promised about in Revelation 1? What is the meaning of “these things” in Revelation 22:16?
“What must soon take place” and “these things” are same in meaning, and they are referring to the same work. These are referring to the entire events of Revelation, the things to be revealed. The “servants” are the newly created kingdom of twelve tribes that God promised about in Revelation 7. “The great multitude” (the great multitude dressed in white) created “after this” in Revelation 7:9, are the congregation members of the new kingdom (people).
- How does the writer know this?
- I know because I have seen and heard from the place where the prophecies of Revelation fulfilled.
- How can I believe this?
- One can know whether this is true by comparing the promises in the Bible, the prophecies in Revelation, with the things that fulfilled according to those prophecies (physical fulfillment).
Just as it is written in Revelation 1:2, I testified to the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ, that is, all that I have seen and heard (Rv 22:8). Are you not going to believe in the word of God and its fulfillment? Then what do you believe in? Do you believe in your pastor and his words more than in the word of God? If that is so, you are not a believer of God and in His Word. Members of the Unification Church believe in Mr. Moon and his words only rather than in God and the word of God. Are you also a member of the Unification Church? The person who believes in God will definitely believe in Him and the Bible.
Let’s take a closer look at “what will soon take place” and “the servants.”
God determined what He will fulfill in the future. He sealed the book of prophecy (Revelation) with seven seals and has waited for the proper time to fulfill it. It says in Revelation 5 that no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth knows. Because the Word has been sealed, it was inevitable that no one knew His will in the sealed scroll. Even at the time when it is revealed, no one in heaven or under the heavens knows except for the one individual who receives the revelation. And only one individual delivers the revealed Word (Rv 10).
The content inside this book was “what must soon take place,” the events of the entire book of Revelation. Because the time has come to show the servants what must soon take place, God gives the sealed scroll to His Son, Jesus. Jesus starts to take off the seals in Revelation 6. As all the seals are taken off in Revelation 8, the scroll completely opens and the entities that were recorded in the scroll appear. Jesus gives the opened scroll to the angel, who delivers it to New John. As commanded by the angel, New John prophesies again to many peoples, nations, languages and kings (Rv 10). This holds the same meaning as Revelation 1:2 that says: “Who testifies to everything he saw— that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ.”
Those who believe in this testimony are the sealed servants in Revelation 7. Who are these servants? Who are they that God wants to show them the content in the scroll that He has sealed so that no one in heaven or on earth can know? Who are these servants that God goes as far as to giving the sealed scroll (with “what must soon take place” recorded in it) to Jesus, for Jesus to open and give it to the angel, who in turn gives the opened scroll to New John to deliver it to the servants?
These servants are God’s new kingdom, the new priests, the new subjects who have been harvested and sealed as seen in Revelation 7 and Revelation 14. It is for this reason that the book of Revelation was recorded, and it has fulfilled according to the prophecies. Those who hear and keep the revealed Word, as written about in Revelation 10, are those who are sealed. They are the 12 tribes of Revelation 7, the kingdom and people (priests and the great multitude in white) of God, the servants in Revelation 1 to whom God purposed to give this revealed Word.
Jesus received the scroll from God, and took off the seals. He fulfilled everything that was written in the scroll (Rv 21:6). The only one who saw it and was present at the location where the prophecies fulfilled, is New John, as written in Revelation 22:8. Jesus, who fulfilled all these, has sent his messenger, New John who has seen and heard all the events, to testify these things to the churches (Rv 22:16). At this time the Spirit of Truth and the bride, New John (Rv 22:17), will give the free gift of the water of life, the revealed Word from the throne, to whoever hears and wishes for it. This is the reality of the free seminary school. The reality of the words in Isaiah 55:2 are the seminary schools of the world that sell and buy the Word of God. However, the place where one buys without money and without cost is the spring overflowing with the water of life in Revelation 22:17.
Even after all this, can the seminary schools of the world call the free seminary school a cult? Who is false, and who is the cult? Is it the place that receives money or the place that does not receive money? Just as it says in Matthew 10:8, “Freely you have received, freely give,” the place that gives the water of life without cost is the free seminary school. This is a content of Revelation that has been made known, a revelation that has been delivered to the servants.
Jesus’ messenger is the one who was present at the location to witness the fulfillment of the events of the entire book of Revelation. Because he has seen it, he is able to testify to what he has seen to the churches. Those who receive the free gift of the water of life as clear as crystal, the revealed Word, and believe in it, become the sealed servants. This is the will of God, and the one who acts according to His will enters the kingdom of heaven.
Amen!
