A place where grace and peace are real, read this if you may

I will be writing about Revelation 1:4. I will post the verse below this sentence.

Revelation 1:4
John,

To the seven churches in the province of Asia:

Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits before his throne

I will begin with the writer. His name was John. He was inspired by the Holy Spirit to wrote down the very words of God and the topic of the End Days.

God had John to wrote to the the seven churches in the province of Asia. It is located about fifty miles apart, forming a circle in Asia moving clockwise north of Ephesus and coming around full circle from Laodicea (east of Ephesus). They were perhaps postal centers serving seven geographic regions. Apparently the entire book of Revelation was sent to each church.

When John used the term Asia, the place he was talking about was a providence in Roman, lying in modern western Turkey.

Grace and peace are needed to be together. If a person have grace then they will have peace. If a person have peace then they have grace.

We need grace because we have sinned and when a person receives peace because of grace. God gave mankind peace by the blood of Jesus which promotes peace between mankind and Himself.

Jesus is Him who is. He is God and He is the Maker. He who was is a phrase that makes me think of Jesus, who is God,  coming to the earth in Christmas time. He was born from a virgin. He lived a perfect life and died on the cross for our sins. He conquered death on the third day.

He is the only way to heaven.  He went to heaven after He resurrected from the dead.

Jesus will come back a second time to get His own people and make a perfect world and judge the world's system sins.  (If you live in the United States and tired of the Government  Shutdown, Jesus will have the perfect government.)

God hates sin and will punish sin but He wants everyone to repent and get right with Him.

The question is this, "Are you ready for the second coming of Jesus?"

There is a tricky phrase. What does from the seven spirits before His throne means?

We need to go back to Zechariah 4:1-10.

Zechariah 4:1-10

1Then the angel who talked with me returned and woke me up, like someone awakened from sleep. ² He asked me, “What do you see?”

I answered, “I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven channels to the lamps. ³ Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left.”
⁴ I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”
⁵ He answered, “Do you not know what these are?”
“No, my lord,” I replied.
⁶ So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.
⁷ “What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of ‘God bless it! God bless it!’”
⁸ Then the word of the Lord came to me: ⁹ “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.
¹⁰ “Who dares despise the day of small things, since the seven eyes of the Lord that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone in the hand of Zerubbabel?”

You see a bowl with seven lamps on it in Zechariah 4:2. And we need to know that Jesus have power and people always limit Jesus. Let's us look Isaiah 11:1-3.

Isaiah 11:1-3
1
A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;
    from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
² The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him—
    the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding,
    the Spirit of counsel and of might,
    the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord—
³ and he will delight in the fear of the Lord.

He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes,
    or decide by what he hears with his ears.

Jesus is so cool. I hope you were inspired. Writing this piece made me cry to see how great the Lord and He will remodel the ghetto world.
