A Layman’s Commentary

on

The Revelation of Jesus Christ

(As Recorded by the Beloved Disciple John)

 Jesse C. Jones

In the mid-1990’s when my wife was in the last stages of Alzheimer’s disease, I got into the habit spending the late hours of the day praying and talking to God.  It was during this time that I began to sense God urging me to do something that I would never have considered doing, and certainly did not feel qualified to do under any circumstance: He continually persisted in my writing an exposition on the seven churches of the book of Revelation.  Every night it was the same: He would bring it up, and I would argue that I was not qualified to undertake writing on the Bible, nor did I have the slightest insight regarding the seven churches.  This went on for some time, and eventually I came across a book that had been written on the seven churches of Revelation.  I thought that this was my “Aha” moment, and I immediately brought it to God’s attention, thinking that I was off the hook.  No such luck, for God (as I have learned) always has a Plan B that is better, and usually bigger, in mind, and that’s when He hit me with probably what He had in mind all along: writing a commentary on the entire book of Revelation.  This hit me like a ton of bricks: I had felt unqualified to write on the seven churches, now I was confronted with something so overwhelming there was no question about my inadequacy.  Undoubtedly, that is where He wanted me to be all the time: totally dependent on Him for every idea, concept and interpretation that I put to paper (or computer screen in this case).

So I began to study, search and write, and the words seemed to keep coming.  This was something totally new to me.  I had co-authored a couple of technical books in my last job as a teacher, but this was different.  Here I was dealing with subjects for which I could not reach down within to draw up understanding: I had to depend totally on Him.

I do not want to leave readers with the impression that everything in this book is right out of God’s mouth.  What I hope is contained therein is what God gave, processed through an ordinary layman’s mind and body, and therefore susceptible to some misunderstanding.  Several years ago a friend asked me why I thought God would give me knowledge that He had not given other men.  My answer was that God is no respecter of persons (Ac. 10:34), He gives knowledge to those who have the greatest need and desire, with no consideration of status or position in the world.  In fact, He seems to favor the least capable or honorable (1 Co. 12:22-24).

This work can be downloaded, in part or whole.

My hope is that God will use this to change lives.

Sandra Crosnoe - Finding Gems & Sharing Them

crossoverworldGlobalist Prayer re: THE COMMITTEE OF 300, TRI-LATERAL COMMISSION, CFR, BILDERBURGS, ILLUMINATI, ALL GLOBALISTS

Heavenly Father,

Divide their tongues that they are no longer able to stand.

Seeing that the Lord did not build these ‘houses’ they have labored in vain: now ruin them.  Cast away their substance.  Let all their expectations perish.

Abase these who are ‘wise’ in their own conceits.  Take honor from them, power, influence, wealth, good success, riches, nor let them find it.  Take the wealth of the wicked and give it to the just.

Turn their wisdom into foolishness.  Take these ‘wise’ in their own craftiness so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise (bring all their wicked plans and devices to naught and requite their mischiefs with Your hand.).

Manifest this darkness to the congregations of the peoples (even their secret counsels and plans).  For nothing is secret that shall not be made manifest; neither any thing hid that shall not be made known and come abroad.

Whatsoever wicked counsels therefore that they have purposed against each nation, let it be known and come abroad to the nations.  Also, with regards to all governments, organizations or groups that seek to impose their own agendas of darkness on a nation, state, city or town: every counsel or device of darkness now reveal.  Every counsel or plan that they have hidden from the light, now make them manifest (for they are works of darkness).

For that which is in righteousness is brought to the light that it be seen that it is of the light;  but the darkness cometh not to the light, for fear that their works shall be exposed.  Therefore expose them, every work of darkness.

Bring their fears upon them. Torment their minds with the flames of hell. Give them dreams/nightmares of skeletons and desolation, vultures and wild beasts filling the lands – the results of their evil schemes.  Afflict with paranoia – distrusting all. Disturb them with rumors.  Cause miscommunications, misunderstandings, wrong interpretations, confusions, delays, clerical errors, destructions of communiqués, disruptions and corruptions in the computers in all of their offices.

Mingle perverse spirits in their midst that they bite and devour one another.  Cover and fill them with shame and reproach (for sin is a reproach to any people and shame is the promotion of fools).  Reward these transgressors according to their ways; now let them eat the fruit of it and be filled with their own devices.

Make their heaven above brass and their earth iron; let all their strength be spent in vain.  Neither let there be sowers of these seeds again forever (nor any other like unto them.)

In Jesus name and under His authority we pray; to Him be all the glory,

Amen


[Editor’s note: Please join me in praying this outloud as often as possible and in unison with other believers when possible if you agree!/sc]
