They Who Are In Jesus Are Called, And Chosen, And Faithful- Part 2381

"Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sits upon many waters: with whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the Spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: and upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus ..." (Revelation 17:1-6)

"These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for He is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with Him are called, and chosen, and faithful." (Revelation 17:14)

The Lord Jesus gave us a clear timeline and description of the events leading up to His return. He made sure that those who believe in hIm by faith would know the times and seasons. Just like Jesus did when He walked this earth, the risen Jesus now takes away the blindness wherein we can see. 

In the above scripture, John is on Patmos Island revealing what he is seeing in a vision for these last days. John is also showing us who the risen Jesus is -- King of kings, and Lord of lords, Alpha and Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the ending. 

"... and from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood ... " (Revelation 1:5)

And to this very day, He is inviting us into His Kingdom.
