THE SIMILARITIES OF …
GENESIS AND REVELATION!
Most Christians that I know have difficulties in understanding the Apocalypse, (Revelation of the .. Last Days.)
So I felt God was leading me to do a comparison study on both of the books of Genesis and Revelation, so it will make it clearer in our minds, the events of the Last Days .
I believe that we are living in the
last of the last days .. JESUS IS COMING SOON!
In both books we we discover there is a NEW BEGINNING .. and A NEW ORDER. In both we have..
THE TREE OF LIFE.
THE RIVER OF LIFE.
THE BRIDE. (The church)
GOD WALKING WITH MAN.
In both Paradises we have the same Moral and Spiritual Ideals..
After man sinned .. God never abandoned Eden and it’s ideals.
But in the end .. The Heavenly City .. takes the place of the Garden.
In Gen .. we see the first PARADISE IS CLOSED. In .. Rev we see the NEW PARADISE IS OPENED.
In Gen .. we see that the Garden is DISPOSSESSED from man through sin..
In Rev..it is REPOSSESSED THROUGH DIVINE GRACE!
In Gen..the CURSE IS IMPOSED and in Rev .. it is REMOVED..
In Gen .. we see that access to the TREE OF LIFE IS REMOVED and Praise the Lord, in Rev .. THE TREE IS, RE-INHERITED IN CHRIST.
It gets more exciting as we progress.
In the beginning after man sinned we see, SICKNESS, SORROW AND DEATH.
But in Rev..THERE IS NO MORE, DEATH, NEITHER SORROW, OR PAIN! It is all Passed away! (Thank you Jesus!)
In Gen..the BEAUTIFUL GARDEN IS .. DEFILED. In Rev .. NOTHING that DEFILES CAN ENTER THAT CITY.
In Gen .. MAN’S DOMINION IS BROCKEN. In Rev .. that amazing new Heaven, is RESTORED under the rule of..
JESUS CHRIST THE KING!
IN EDEN it looks as if satan triumphed. But in the end we see..
THE TRIUMPH OF THE LAMB!
You will be happy to know that ..
You will be there in all His Glory!
You will walk, and talk with your God, and dwell with those, who are His very own. (Can’t wait!)
Christian look up! For your redemption draws nigh!
Amen.
Thankyou Heather, what fantastic reminders of what we have to look forward to, of the wonderful unfolding of God’s plan for His people & His kingdom. I love the way you made the comparisons.
Beautiful graphics too.
Thankyou precious Margaret.
We are so undeserving, yet so blessed that He loves us so much to give us such a wonderful future and a hope. Bless you.
