![]() 23) The Elijah Message Beatitude
![]() THE ELIJAH MESSAGE BEATITUDE - REVELATION 14:13
Today we conclude the series on the last day Elijah message with an unusual text that, I believe, is connected to the Elijah message. It is the second of seven beatitudes in the book of Revelation and in it contains great assurance to those who have embraced the 3 angel's messages in the Elijah message. I. A blessing on "the dead who die in the Lord." A) "From now on" - for those who die in helping to proclaim the message B) There is likely martyrdom for some who proclaim the 3 angel's messages as the dragon's wrath becomes intense with the remnant. Revelation 12:11,17 II. The beatitude is a summary of the gospel principles in the 3 angel's messages. "They rest from their labors and their works follow them." A) You rest and work, come and abide, die and resurrect. Matthew 11:28-30 B) Those who die in the Lord are represented in what Christ did. 2 Corinthians 5:14,15 C) They possess eternal life by faith. 1 John 5:11-13 D) "Their works follow them." 1) The evidence they are devoted to Jesus - Revelation 14:12 2) They are united with heaven in God's divine purpose. Ephesians 1:9,10; 1 Corinthians 15:24-26 |
