The Book of Revelation

[Deb_B]

It is lonely to have read the bible end to end almost 37 years ago and to still find that most people today would prefer not to speak to the reality that we’re living in (that’s perfectly described in this book)! In fact, the book of Revelation in particular seems to be a sure fire way to scare most people off - in my observations, many Christians don’t seem to truly believe what’s written in Revelation in spite of everything that’s been taking place these past several years and that just blows my mind!

But I get it, I used to feel so much fear over the idea of letting go of this world, it seemed like such a foreign concept to me having gotten myself really entangled to the things of this life. Like did Jesus really mean all the things He said about this world? However, with enough experiences, I saw that building upon this earthly foundation is fleeting at best, regardless of how successful you become and I’m finally recognizing it’s far better to be in the will of our Maker rather than to go on gathering up more riches of this realm.

I do struggle with whether it’s more compassionate to let someone stay comfortable in their reality bubble or if it’s more loving to help pull back the covers so that they might be able to see things more clearly. Like would it possibly break them if they were to be forced to look at the end of everything?

Anyways, I do understand that I am merely a peon in the grand scheme of things lol and have zero control over what other’s believe. I do trust more in the infinite wisdom of our Creator to sort this mess out, but am just curious if anyone else has witnessed the same thing for themselves with others, it’s very curious to say the least!!
