  1. Hey, friends, Welcome to Truki's Church. Whether you're out on

  2. the open road, pulling over for a break, or listening

  3. from home, I'm glad you're here. Today. We're kicking off

  4. a brand news series, the Book of Revelation. I don't

  5. let that word scare you. This isn't about fear. It's

  6. about hope. Revelation isn't a mystery book meant to confuse you.

  7. It's a love letter from Jesus to his people. And

  8. there's been a lot of talk about revelation lately. There's

  9. a lot of people who think that it may be

  10. coming very very soon here in September. I don't prescribe

  11. dates myself, but I think we should always be ready

  12. every day. Not saying it can't happen now. I'm not

  13. saying it will or it won't, but we should always

  14. be ready and we should learn more about it than

  15. most we can. Now, it turns out it is next

  16. week and this is gonna be a very short series.

  17. This will be the only one. But if it isn't,

  18. then we still have a lot of work to do.

  19. We need to keep studying and keep watching. So this

  20. first episode is called the Unveiling of Jesus. So grab

  21. your coffee, your bible. We're just listening as you roll

  22. down the highway. Let's get into it. Let's do a

  23. scripture reading Revelation one one through eight. This is out

  24. of the New King James, the revelation of Jesus Christ,

  25. which God gave him to show his servants things which

  26. must shortly take place, and he sentence signified it by

  27. his angels to a servant. John. Blessed is he who

  28. reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy.

  29. So what is revelation really about. The word revelation means unveiling,

  30. like pulling back a curtain. It's not just a book

  31. about the end of the world. It's about revealing Jesus

  32. in glory, the King and the judge, the bridegroom, the

  33. Alpha and the Omega. It's written by John the Apostle,

  34. all exile on the island of Patmos, and it's written

  35. to seven real churches, but also meant for us today,

  36. the church in the world today, given by Jesus to

  37. prepare his people and not scare them. The key verse

  38. in this is Revelation one three. Blessed is the one

  39. who reads aloud. The words of this prophecy, and blessed

  40. those who hear it, and take the heart where is

  41. written in it. This is the only book in the

  42. Bible that promises it special blessings for reading. So we're

  43. so used to hearing about is the general Jesus and

  44. the manger or on the cross. But in Revelation John

  45. sees Jesus in glory, eyes like fire, a voice like

  46. Russian waters coming from his mouth, a shining like the sun.

  47. This isn't the suffering, sir, This is the conquering king.

  48. This is the Jesus returning for his bride. Let's look

  49. at a few descriptions from Revelation one Alpha in Omega,

  50. it means the beginning, in the end, faithful witness, first

  51. born from the dead, ruler over the kings of the earth.

  52. He's coming with clouds, and every eye will see him.

  53. This is the Jesus we're waiting for. Jesus that's coming

  54. back soon. John was given this vision during exile. He

  55. was suffering, isolated, cut off from the churches he loved,

  56. but Jesus showed up. And that tells us something. Even

  57. when the world shuts you down, even when you're far

  58. from others. Jesus will meet you right where you are.

  59. That's a message we all need to hear out here

  60. when we're tired alone and wondering where all this is going.

  61. Jesus gave Revelation not just to inform us, but to

  62. encourage us to endure. He's coming soon. The time is near,

  63. So the question is are we ready? So let's pray,

  64. Lord Jesus, thank you for your word. Thank you for

  65. revealing yourself to us, not just as savior, but as keen.

  66. We want to be ready for your return. Open our

  67. eyes to understand what you're saying. Revelation, give us peace, hope,

  68. and urgency, and help us to live each day looking

  69. for your up hearing and your name. We pray Amen.
