Book of Revelation a Call to Urgency - 24 Nov 2003
|
...A pastor in Colorado says believers need to realize that the final book of the Bible is relevant for Christians today. In his book, Eternity now: Encountering the Jesus of Revelation, Peter Hiett writes that the Book of Revelation is a call to urgency. He says it is not just about seven little churches in ancient Asia Minor – or cataclysmic events sometime in the future. Hiett says the book "is relevant to us because it is about who Jesus is -- and the battle that we are involved in every day. "So," Hiett says, "I think that means you share your faith with someone and the Revelation says that it is more than just you talking." He continued that spiritually, there is actually a rider on a white horse that is going to war with the ancient dragon and the words that ride out on your tongue when you speak about Jesus, "are eternal and true and powerful." Hiett is senior pastor of Lookout Mountain Community Church in Golden, Colorado. [Allie Martin] |
