How many sermons have we heard over the years on the Beatitudes from the Gospel of Matthew & Luke, but none, that I recall, have been preached on the 7 Beatitudes from the Book of Revelation.....HUMMM Allow me
1. Rev.1:3---"Blessed is who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and keeps those things written in it."...The only Book in the Bible that promises a Blessing to those who read..
2. Rev.14:13---" Blessed are the dead who die in the name of the Lord from now on"
3. Rev.16:15-- " Behold I am coming as a thief. Blessed is who watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked and they see his shame"
4. Rev.19:9--- "Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb"
5: Rev.20:6--- "Blessed and Holy is he who has part in the first resurrection . Over such the second
death has no power, but they shall be priest of God and of Christ and shall reign with Him a thousand years."
6. Rev.22:7--- "Blessed is he who keeps the words of this prophecy
7. Rev.22:14--- "Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city."
I never knew there were Beatitudes in Revelation until just a few days ago....HUMMM...And now we know the rest of the story
