I have read Revelations I can't remember how many times. I have heard several pastors preached but only now have I understood what it really mean. I am still a work in progress pertaining to this book of Revelation and thus I will continue hearing your sermons about it. Thank you Lord, thank you Pastor Gary for the clarity.
I am from India, I am happy to join and hear your Bible study, Specially about book of Revelation, Yes I read many times book of Revelation but was not able to understand, But now with you with Bible study I will understand and be prepared for Lord Jesus coming back with strong faith by understanding each word of book of Revelation, Thanks, love your way of teaching and explaining way, God bless
The teaching is awesome. I taught adult Sunday school for years, but pastor hamrick put me back into elementary class. I now drink deeply every time I can from his lessons.
You bring the Word of God to life and feed our souls. Thank you Pastor Gary, may God pour grace, mercy, favor and peace to you, your children and your children’s children
Amen thank you for amplifying the Word of God. Jesus is Lord and Savior our ONLY HOPE who is coming soon. Good health, healing from any affliction, joy, peace and love for everyone.
THANK YOU MY WONDERFUL BEAUTIFUL LIVING SAVIOR FOR SAVING A WRETCHED SINNER LIKE ME. IM NOTHING WITHOUT YOU❤ HELP ME TO FOLLOW YOU WHEREVER YOU LEAD ME🙏✝️🙌❤️💕
My GOD I PRAISE YOU❤ MY SWEET SAVIOR I PRAISE YOU!!! Thank you for this Pastor❤ thank you for blessing him with such an amazing gift of teaching us your Church ⛪️ ❤ God i pray and ask you to only what you can do and save my lost family and friends in JESUS NAME AMEN 🙏 ❤
I absolutely love this man's teaching. So smart and great at getting straight to the point very plainly. Praise God for this teacher. I love it when I find someone I can learn from.
Beautiful Pastor. I love how you are braking this down so simply for us to understand. I have listened to video 1 and 2 and intend to listen to all of them. Thank you Pastor for your obedience.
Love this study from you. Second time listening. I just started Precept of Revelation and knew I needed to watch your series again because you give SO much insight through the Spirit. God bless.
I liked the teaching about Church of Ephesus, especially when you gave reference from Book of Acts Chapter 17 and 18 when people of Ephesus burned their sorcery books which was worth millions of dollars and there was great awakening. The teaching is really praiseworthy.
The apostle John said the, "you need not that any man teach you." All you have to do is read it and study it yourself and the Holy Ghost will lead you into all truth. When instead you rely on others to decode things for you... "2Ti_4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;"
So very blessed with your teaching. Watching in June of 2024. I was just speaking with my Sunday School teacher about this exact lesson from Revelation! I love how your teaching is like hers-very clear and awesome break down of the verses.
This is a blessing, I have looked around for a teacher of Rev, and have been blocked from finding it. Till today, THANK YOU for your willingness to teach the WORD OF THE LORD
Thank you Pastor Gary Hanrick! This has been a real blessing. You explain one of the hardest books to read so well and easy to follow. This is much needed today. God Bless you for sharing this. Looking forward in watching this whole series and thankful a friend shared this to me by no accident of course.
Thank you, Pastor Gary! I loved this session as I do all your studies. Thank you for taking the time out to learn and understand the Bible and relay it to us clear and concise. May God bless you and your family.!
@susan....There is a clear distinction between the Sabbath and the Lord's Day. In the Torah (the first 5 books of the Old Testament, also called the Book of the Law), God designated the Sabbath as a day of "rest" for the nation of Israel. The Sabbath is on Saturday (actually beginning sunset Friday and ending sunset Saturday). Orthodox Jews still observe and keep the Sabbath as instructed in the Torah. The Lord's Day is Sunday. It was "established" in the New Testament and was called the Lord's Day because it was the day Jesus Christ our Lord arose from the dead. Jesus's resurrection on early Sunday morning gave birth to the Church and to recognizing Sunday as the Lord's Day. In the Old Testament, under the old covenant, obeying the Law and the sacrificial system was how the Jews "earned" their salvation, remained obedient to God. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law and gave Himself once and for all as the perfect sacrifice. There is no longer any need to observe or engage in legalistic practices (including making sacrifices and observing the Sabbath) because there is now only one way to God, and that is through a belief in Jesus Christ as the risen Son of God. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through the Son."

If I always listen to Cornerstone Chapel and Pastor Gary’s teachings can I consider it my church? I live in South America but this has been the teachings that I believe are the best and this is where I feel I belong and I don’t go to any physical church. Would that be ok for the Lord?
So appreciate your solid teaching Gary! Thoroughly enjoyed this study of Revelation! When you referred to Matt 18:20, “where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.” Can you please clarify, I thought Matthew 18:20 was in reference to church discipline/confrontation, since we know God is with even a single believer😊
From the Lord: 4 prophetic dreams....I am coming. U have no time left here, little time there. I see the evil brought about by the ones i love, ure being deceived. The evil one is here, and the false prophet who glorifies me in public, but hates Me in secret. The time is near. Be ready and cling to me or else perish and be separated from Me forever. I PRAY U LISTEN, THE TIME IS NOW
Sorry , with the respect......but Saturday still remains Sabbat, 7th day.matthew 12:8, mark 2:8,Luke 6: 5 Lord Jesus proclaiming that He is the One who exercises authority even over the rules and regulations that govern the Sabbat day .

Pastor, does these 7 churches represent or takes about seven period of church history? If so, then will it not disagree with the eminent coming of Christ in Apostles time?
Is it possible for you to mail me out the Bible you use , so I can follow when I listen to you, I’m so happy and Blessed to find a Pastor on line that is not afraid to preach the word exactly how the Lord says , may the Lord always Bless you and keep you Strong to bring His word to us
My brother and sister-in-law have gotten indoctrinated into the SDA church and continue to focus on the Sabbath Day worship as necessary for salvation as it is the 4th commandment. I try to avoid any discussion about it because I know I will never be able to change their minds and it is causing division in our relationship. How can I respond in love as we do not agree on end time prophesy as well. My heart is grieved because our relationship has become so divided to the point I don't feel I can communicate with them except on a superficial basis. 😢
@teresa...I used to belong to a church like that. It was oppressive, and it was exhausting trying to earn and keep my salvation by my own strength and not "backslide." . Churches that teach salvation through your effort and adherence to legalistic practices are a classic example of condemnation and works because they reject clear teaching: salvation is by grace (not works). You can "work" because you love the Lord and appreciate His free gift of salvation. But it is not Biblical to work as a motive for earning salvation. There is a clear distinction between the Sabbath and the Lord's Day. In the Torah (the first 5 books of the Old Testament, also called the Book of the Law), God designated the Sabbath as a day of "rest" for the nation of Israel. The Sabbath is on Saturday (actually beginning sunset Friday and ending sunset Saturday). Orthodox Jews still observe and keep the Sabbath as instructed in the Torah. The Lord's Day is Sunday. It was "established" in the New Testament and was called the Lord's Day because it was the day Jesus Christ our Lord arose from the dead. Jesus's resurrection on early Sunday morning gave birth to the Church and to recognizing Sunday as the Lord's Day. In the Old Testament, under the old covenant, obeying the Law and the sacrificial system was how the Jews "earned" their salvation, remained obedient to God. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law and gave Himself once and for all as the perfect sacrifice. There is no longer any need to observe or engage in legalistic practices (including making sacrifices and observing the Sabbath) because there is now only one way to God, and that is through a belief in Jesus Christ as the risen Son of God. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through the Son." Scripture also says "You are saved by grace, not by works..."). You can never be good enough or do enough to earn your way into heaven. Trying to do so is essentially telling Jesus that His death and resurrection was useless and a waste of time. It is saying to Jesus, "No thanks, I will do this on my own strength. I don't need the free gift of your amazing grace as offered through your sacrificial and painful death. I can earn my own way to heaven by my own effort and works."
The number seven represents completeness. In other words, the seven literal churches, spiritually represent the one complete church of God. Yeshua walks in the midst of the seven golden lamp stands communicating the fact that he is the head of the true church of Christ.
Is the Rapture mentioned as such in the Bible. Is it not also true that this doctrine is Darby/Schofield in origin. Can there be 2 second comings as they taught. Surely Christ said he will come again ie once. Surely he is not having an interim stop between heaven and earth where the believers will be suspended before he comes a third time?
Really? Two separate events, completely. Paul describes and shows us the event of The Rapture of The Church. Equally, the newly raptured Church is clearly shown inside of the throne room of God (in Revelation 4:4; 4:10 and 5:9-10(KJV), prior to the opening of the first seal in Revelation 6:1-2/revealing of the antichrist/onset of the tribulation.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE PASTORS DRESS UP 4 THE LORD AS THEY ARE SPEAKING ABOUT OUR LORD OUR PASTOR ALWAYS LOOKS SO NICE IN THEIR SUITS/ HE SAYS IF JESUS WERE B4 HIM HE WOULD LIKE TO BE IN HIS BEST SUIT....
Sundays' designation as the Lord's Day is not man made. It is essentially Christ made. Sunday is called the Lord's Day because Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead early Sunday morning. That is why Sunday is called the Lord's Day. The Sabbath (Saturday), established by the Old Testament Law, is not the same as the Lord's Day (Sunday), the day Jesus resurrected. The Sabbath was established under the Law. The Lord's Day was established under Grace.
If you check, it was Friday when the Lord was lead in the tomb and the women who tended to him had to leave before sunset as they would breaking the Sabbath rules. No-one came to the tomb on the Saturday but Mary came on the following g day and saw the stone had been rolled away and our Lord was risen. This is why Sunday is the Lord's day
There is a clear distinction between the Sabbath and the Lord's Day. In the Torah (the first 5 books of the Old Testament, also called the Book of the Law), God designated the Sabbath as a day of "rest" for the nation of Israel. The Sabbath is on Saturday (actually beginning sunset Friday and ending sunset Saturday). Orthodox Jews still observe and keep the Sabbath as instructed in the Torah. The Lord's Day is Sunday.

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through the Son."
Revelation chapters two and three do not support the idea of the "so called" church age. For example: #1) Church in Ephesus 53 - 100 AD Apostolic Church age #2) Church in Smyrna 100 - 312 AD Martyr Church age If the Church in Smyrna represents the "Martyr Church Age", how is it that all the Apostles were martyred during the "Apostolic Church Age"? Years the Apostles were martyred James 44-45 AD Peter 64 AD Andrew 70 AD Thomas 70 AD Philip 54 AD Matthew 60-70 AD Nathanael 70 AD James the lesser 44-45 AD Simon, the Zealot 74 AD Judas Thaddeus 72 AD John 95 AD Matthias 70 AD Paul 67 AD The Holy Scriptures do not support the idea of "Church Ages".
The Sabbath is not the same as the Lord's Day. The Sabbath is as you say. It was first established because God rested from His work on Day 7 (which begins on Friday Sunset). The Sabbath is Old Testament Law and is still practiced by the Jews. However, the Lord Jesus Christ rose on the first day of the week (Sunday). The cornerstone of Christianity (the resurrection event) is why Christians (not Jews) celebrate Sunday as the Lord's Day -- again, not the same as the Sabbath. Jews are still under the Law. Christians are under Grace.
Amen. The explicit command, mandate of God the Father for all createdkinds through His Only Begotten Son by eternal decree (Psa. 2:7-12,6) is for all createdkinds specifically created humankind & angelkind persons to come exclusively, directly to His Son, Jesus Christ, the Historical, Singular, Personal and directly Self-appearing/revealing, Self-identifying & Self-claiming God Almighty (El Shaddai [Gen. 17:1]/ Kyrios Theos Pantokrator [Rev. 1:8,17-18; 22:12-13]) & I AM WHO I AM (Exo. 3:1-18; 6:1-8 cf. Jn. 8:23-24,28,58). JESUS The Eternal Pre-Cosmic & Pre-Incarnate Christ ( Anointed One) (Gen. 1:1,27,31 cf. Col. 1:15-17; Heb. 1:3; Gen. 2:7 cf. Acts 17:25-28; Isa. 42:5) is exclusively the Anointed Mediator, Intervenor, Channel, Eternal Great High Priest. (John 14:6; 1 Tim. 2:3-4,5-6; 1 Jn. 2:1-2; 1 Cor. 8:6; Heb. 7:15-25; 4:14-16; 8:1-2; 3:1-6; 2 Tim. 2:19,22). He is the Divine Person of the TRIUNE LORD (YAHWEH) GOD (ELOHIM), the Biblically revealed Trinity, the Directly Self-identifying & Self-claiming I AM WHO I AM whose memorial name forever & throughout all generations is LORD (Exo. 3:14-15; Hos. 12:5; Isa. 6:1-8 cf. Jn. 12:41,37-40; Acts 10:36; Rom. 10:9-12, 13; Phil. 2:9-11; 2 acor. 12:3; Rev. 17:14; 19:16; Matt. 7:21-23) is the LAWGIVER In Exodus 20:1-17 cf. James 4:12, who demands exclusive worship from all of creation. (Exo. 20:1-7; Heb. 1:6; Matt. 4:10-11; Luke 4:8; Phil. 2:9-11) to the glory of God the Father in the power of God the Holy Spirit (John 16:13-15; 14:26; 15:26; Acts 2:8; Rom. 8:9; 1 Pet. 1:10-12; Zech. 4:6; 7:12; Neh. 9:20,30). Thus, redeemed sinners from generation to generation prays directly & exclusively to the Almighty, Lord, God, the Son, Incarnate, Perfect Manhood and ALL IN ALL, JESUS CHRIST (Jer. 33:3; Psa. 50:15; 91:14-16; Jn. 14:6,13-14; 15:7; 1 Cor. 16:22; Eph. 6:24; 1 John 5:14-15; 3:22). This is in fulfillment of God the Father’s all-prevailing perfect will, eternal purpose, and eternal decree (John 6:39-40; Heb. 1:6; Matt. 4:10-11; Luke 4:8; Rev. 5:8-12; Heb. 10:5-14; Matt. 6:9-10; Eph. 3:9-11; Psalm 2:6-12) in accordance with the Trinity’s Everlasting Covenant (Heb. 13:20, 8; 1:2-12; 2 Tim. 1:8-10; Eph. 1:3-23; etc.). Our Almighty Lord God Jesus Christ, the Great, Chief, Good Shepherd, bless you abundantly & His flock under your spiritual care.
The Lord's Day is when Jesus rules inGods Kingdom in on earth.when he said rise up in the cloud atmospheric air resurrected to avivified lasting life to be a member of his holy family.
I had been praying that I could find someone who is preaching about the end times and the Holy Spirit led me to you…. PRAISE GOD!
I have read Revelations I can't remember how many times. I have heard several pastors preached but only now have I understood what it really mean. I am still a work in progress pertaining to this book of Revelation and thus I will continue hearing your sermons about it. Thank you Lord, thank you Pastor Gary for the clarity.

I'm now understanding some of the book Revelations. Thank you 🙂
This guy is magnificent.
Great expounder!
Thanks for doing this study 😃
I believe the Lord's day is the Sabbath. Man changed that to Sunday.
Because Jesus arose from the grave on Sunday, most Christians consider Sunday the Lord's day. But Idk which is actually correct.
@susan....There is a clear distinction between the Sabbath and the Lord's Day. In the Torah (the first 5 books of the Old Testament, also called the Book of the Law), God designated the Sabbath as a day of "rest" for the nation of Israel.

Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through the Son."

Loved the study thankyou
Amen.
I am struggling with anxiety .My daughter too.Please pray for me
There were NO single lead pastors back then. The churches had a plurality of elders no one person in charge. That came after the time of the apostles
If I always listen to Cornerstone Chapel and Pastor Gary’s teachings can I consider it my church? I live in South America but this has been the teachings that I believe are the best and this is where I feel I belong and I don’t go to any physical church. Would that be ok for the Lord?
The Lord's day is the millennium the day Jesus returns the first day of the millennium the Lord's Day
So appreciate your solid teaching Gary! Thoroughly enjoyed this study of Revelation!
When you referred to Matt 18:20, “where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”
Can you please clarify, I thought Matthew 18:20 was in reference to church discipline/confrontation, since we know God is with even a single believer😊

Lord's day is Saturday during this time. It was only the Christians later on that changed it to Sunday

Pastor, does these 7 churches represent or takes about seven period of church history?
If so, then will it not disagree with the eminent coming of Christ in Apostles time?
Great lesson, you mentioned at mark 20:33 to get the "booklet" Could you tell me which booklet you were referring too?
Mine and ours
Is it possible for you to mail me out the Bible you use , so I can follow when I listen to you, I’m so happy and Blessed to find a Pastor on line that is not afraid to preach the word exactly how the Lord says , may the Lord always Bless you and keep you Strong to bring His word to us

You can "work" because you love the Lord and appreciate His free gift of salvation. But it is not Biblical to work as a motive for earning salvation.
There is a clear distinction between the Sabbath and the Lord's Day. In the Torah (the first 5 books of the Old Testament, also called the Book of the Law), God designated the Sabbath as a day of "rest" for the nation of Israel. The Sabbath is on Saturday (actually beginning sunset Friday and ending sunset Saturday). Orthodox Jews still observe and keep the Sabbath as instructed in the Torah.
The Lord's Day is Sunday. It was "established" in the New Testament and was called the Lord's Day because it was the day Jesus Christ our Lord arose from the dead. Jesus's resurrection on early Sunday morning gave birth to the Church and to recognizing Sunday as the Lord's Day.
In the Old Testament, under the old covenant, obeying the Law and the sacrificial system was how the Jews "earned" their salvation, remained obedient to God. In the New Testament, Jesus Christ fulfilled the Law and gave Himself once and for all as the perfect sacrifice. There is no longer any need to observe or engage in legalistic practices (including making sacrifices and observing the Sabbath) because there is now only one way to God, and that is through a belief in Jesus Christ as the risen Son of God. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through the Son." Scripture also says "You are saved by grace, not by works..."). You can never be good enough or do enough to earn your way into heaven. Trying to do so is essentially telling Jesus that His death and resurrection was useless and a waste of time. It is saying to Jesus, "No thanks, I will do this on my own strength. I don't need the free gift of your amazing grace as offered through your sacrificial and painful death. I can earn my own way to heaven by my own effort and works."
Amen 🙏
The number seven represents completeness. In other words, the seven literal churches, spiritually represent the one complete church of God. Yeshua walks in the midst of the seven golden lamp stands communicating the fact that he is the head of the true church of Christ.
Is the Rapture mentioned as such in the Bible. Is it not also true that this doctrine is Darby/Schofield in origin. Can there be 2 second comings as they taught. Surely Christ said he will come again ie once. Surely he is not having an interim stop between heaven and earth where the believers will be suspended before he comes a third time?
Really? Two separate events, completely. Paul describes and shows us the event of The Rapture of The Church. Equally, the newly raptured Church is clearly shown inside of the throne room of God (in Revelation 4:4; 4:10 and 5:9-10(KJV), prior to the opening of the first seal in Revelation 6:1-2/revealing of the antichrist/onset of the tribulation.
QUESTION WHEN YOU WALK AWAY FROM Jesus DO YOU LOSE YOUR SALVATION?
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE PASTORS DRESS UP 4 THE LORD AS THEY ARE SPEAKING ABOUT OUR LORD OUR PASTOR ALWAYS LOOKS SO NICE IN THEIR SUITS/ HE SAYS IF JESUS WERE B4 HIM HE WOULD LIKE TO BE IN HIS BEST SUIT....
Remove your lamp stand from it’s place. Is this not a reference to removing the church of Ephesus itself?
Why is Lords day on Sunday? Is that a man made date? This is not a controversial question, just want to know if it is on the Bible.
Sundays' designation as the Lord's Day is not man made. It is essentially Christ made. Sunday is called the Lord's Day because Jesus Christ was resurrected from the dead early Sunday morning. That is why Sunday is called the Lord's Day. The Sabbath (Saturday), established by the Old Testament Law, is not the same as the Lord's Day (Sunday), the day Jesus resurrected. The Sabbath was established under the Law. The Lord's Day was established under Grace.

I really enjoy your teaching. Please tell me where in the Bible, the Lord’s Day is Sunday. Thank you.

If you check, it was Friday when the Lord was lead in the tomb and the women who tended to him had to leave before sunset as they would breaking the Sabbath rules. No-one came to the tomb on the Saturday but Mary came on the following g day and saw the stone had been rolled away and our Lord was risen. This is why Sunday is the Lord's day

do you want to mean that he had a book and a pen when he was exiled to the land of patmos?
How close are we to the rapture?
Ephesus is called Izmir today. It was a center of imperial cult of Rome

Revelation chapters two and three do not support the idea of the "so called" church age.
For example:
#1) Church in Ephesus 53 - 100 AD Apostolic Church age
#2) Church in Smyrna 100 - 312 AD Martyr Church age
If the Church in Smyrna represents the "Martyr Church Age", how is it that all the Apostles were martyred during the "Apostolic Church Age"?
Years the Apostles were martyred
James 44-45 AD
Peter 64 AD
Andrew 70 AD
Thomas 70 AD
Philip 54 AD
Matthew 60-70 AD
Nathanael 70 AD
James the lesser 44-45 AD
Simon, the Zealot 74 AD
Judas Thaddeus 72 AD
John 95 AD
Matthias 70 AD
Paul 67 AD
The Holy Scriptures do not support the idea of "Church Ages".
Think Jewish Pastor Gary,The Lord’s day is not Sunday but Friday evening at sundown to Saturday evening at sundown.
The Sabbath is not the same as the Lord's Day. The Sabbath is as you say. It was first established because God rested from His work on Day 7 (which begins on Friday Sunset). The Sabbath is Old Testament Law and is still practiced by the Jews. However, the Lord Jesus Christ rose on the first day of the week (Sunday). The cornerstone of Christianity (the resurrection event) is why Christians (not Jews) celebrate Sunday as the Lord's Day -- again, not the same as the Sabbath. Jews are still under the Law. Christians are under Grace.
Amen. The explicit command, mandate of God the Father for all createdkinds through His Only Begotten Son by eternal decree (Psa. 2:7-12,6) is for all createdkinds specifically created humankind & angelkind persons to come exclusively, directly to His Son, Jesus Christ, the Historical, Singular, Personal and directly Self-appearing/revealing, Self-identifying & Self-claiming God Almighty (El Shaddai [Gen. 17:1]/ Kyrios Theos Pantokrator [Rev. 1:8,17-18; 22:12-13]) & I AM WHO I AM (Exo. 3:1-18; 6:1-8 cf. Jn. 8:23-24,28,58). JESUS The Eternal Pre-Cosmic & Pre-Incarnate Christ ( Anointed One) (Gen. 1:1,27,31 cf. Col. 1:15-17; Heb. 1:3; Gen. 2:7 cf. Acts 17:25-28; Isa. 42:5) is exclusively the Anointed Mediator, Intervenor, Channel, Eternal Great High Priest. (John 14:6; 1 Tim. 2:3-4,5-6; 1 Jn. 2:1-2; 1 Cor. 8:6; Heb. 7:15-25; 4:14-16; 8:1-2; 3:1-6; 2 Tim. 2:19,22).
He is the Divine Person of the TRIUNE LORD (YAHWEH) GOD (ELOHIM), the Biblically revealed Trinity, the Directly Self-identifying & Self-claiming I AM WHO I AM whose memorial name forever & throughout all generations is LORD (Exo. 3:14-15; Hos. 12:5; Isa. 6:1-8 cf. Jn. 12:41,37-40; Acts 10:36; Rom. 10:9-12, 13; Phil. 2:9-11; 2 acor. 12:3; Rev. 17:14; 19:16; Matt. 7:21-23) is the LAWGIVER In Exodus 20:1-17 cf. James 4:12, who demands exclusive worship from all of creation. (Exo. 20:1-7; Heb. 1:6; Matt. 4:10-11; Luke 4:8; Phil. 2:9-11) to the glory of God the Father in the power of God the Holy Spirit (John 16:13-15; 14:26; 15:26; Acts 2:8; Rom. 8:9; 1 Pet. 1:10-12; Zech. 4:6; 7:12; Neh. 9:20,30). Thus, redeemed sinners from generation to generation prays directly & exclusively to the Almighty, Lord, God, the Son, Incarnate, Perfect Manhood and ALL IN ALL, JESUS CHRIST (Jer. 33:3; Psa. 50:15; 91:14-16; Jn. 14:6,13-14; 15:7; 1 Cor. 16:22; Eph. 6:24; 1 John 5:14-15; 3:22). This is in fulfillment of God the Father’s all-prevailing perfect will, eternal purpose, and eternal decree (John 6:39-40; Heb. 1:6; Matt. 4:10-11; Luke 4:8; Rev. 5:8-12; Heb. 10:5-14; Matt. 6:9-10; Eph. 3:9-11; Psalm 2:6-12) in accordance with the Trinity’s Everlasting Covenant (Heb. 13:20, 8; 1:2-12; 2 Tim. 1:8-10; Eph. 1:3-23; etc.).
Our Almighty Lord God Jesus Christ, the Great, Chief, Good Shepherd, bless you abundantly & His flock under your spiritual care.
