The 7 Churches of Revelation! Part 1: Revelation 1:1-8; “The Eternal King is Coming Back. Are you ready?” 7 Reasons why you may have avoided Revelation in the past: #1-Because of crazy people who have used prophecy for their own personal agendas. #2-Because so many people have used prophecy as a scare tactic to get people saved. #3-Because many find Revelation simply hard to understand. #4-Because most people want practical teaching that applies to today and they are not so concerned about tomorrow. #5-Because many people have not heard much teaching on Revelation and end time prophecy. #6-Because many people fear what is going to happen in the end, so they tend to avoid reading about it. –Ignorance is bliss! #7-Because there are so many different views on how to interpret Revelation. “The Eternal King is Coming Back. Are you ready?” 1. We serve a God who reveals Himself to us to prepare us for what’s coming (v. 1-2). God can turn your prison into your purpose.
