The David Spoon Experience 8-29-24 part 1

A) Here we go, buckaroos, back into the Book of Revelation, picking it up at verse 7. The material we're about to review will bless you simply because we are reading it together. Verse 7 states: "Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen."

B) Let's get it straight: Jesus is coming back. When He comes back, He's coming with the clouds. Some people argue this is the rapture, the second coming, the third coming, or the fourth coming. Please stop ruining the scriptures this way. Jesus is coming with the clouds, and everyone will see Him—good, bad, and indifferent. Even though people will see Him and be distressed because He's real, John says, "Even so, let it be. Even so, Amen."

C) Verse 8 takes us on another journey. Jesus says, "I am the Alpha and the Omega." To understand this better, we can say Jesus is the A to the Z for our American minds because that is the beginning and the end of our alphabet. Jesus is the beginning and the end of every word spoken that is true and real. Then Jesus intensifies His message by saying, "I am the Beginning and the End." The universe started through Jesus and will end through Jesus. The Earth started with Jesus and will end, as it is now, through Jesus.

D) He continues, "Who is, who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." There are two significant declarations in this text. First, Jesus transcends all time; He always was, always is, and always will be. Second, He is the Almighty. In Greek, Jesus declares Himself as God. There's no question, no ifs, ands, or buts about it. Jesus, in this declaration, says, "I am God." Either say "Amen" or "Oh me," because Jesus is the truth.
