Don't miss the discussion and reflection questions that delve into each passage exploring what \u003ci\u003eThe Revelation to John \u003c\/i\u003ereally does and doesn't say and explaining how my interpretation more clearly reflects the message that John was actually sharing with his audience nearly 2000 years ago. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat is revealed to me when I read \u003ci\u003eThe Revelation to John\u003c\/i\u003e is not threatening punishment, but beckoning us to change our lives to experience the promises for a better life with more happiness, better relationships, and more love. You will notice that in \u003ci\u003eThe Revelation to John\u003c\/i\u003e, God is not active in any of the catastrophes that are described. God is drawing our attention to the Hell that we create for ourselves and one another, and God is showing us the way to end this Hell we create and instead create Heaven on Earth! \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the Gospels, we read that Jesus himself says plainly that the greatest commandment is to love God and love one another, and that everything else in God's message to us hinges on that commandment. So if anything in the Scriptures does not appear to hinge on that commandment, then we must be misunderstanding the Scripture. If we believe Jesus, we must interpret \u003ci\u003eThe \u003c\/i\u003e\u003ci\u003eRevelation to John\u003c\/i\u003e in a way that hinges on loving God and loving one another as we love God. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJesus' ministry is a call to repentance. God does not punish or threaten us; God guides our repentance. Repentance is not remorse or groveling; it is a change in mindset and behavior to change how we are treating one another. God keeps reaching out to us and never gives up on any of us. No matter what we have done in the past, each of us can learn to see the glory and wonder of living our lives the way Jesus revealed to us. Jesus asks us to love one another, to strengthen the ties of community and live as one family with all people near and far, to serve one another, witness to one another, and listen to one another. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGod shows us the way to manifest the promises of a better life for ourselves and all people. When we share this message with one another and allow what has been revealed by this message to change how we live our lives, the change in our lives will be the greatest blessing we could ever receive!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patricia Wahle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 8532730329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798532730328\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/17\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.11d","brand":"Patricia Wahle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44311216849151,"sku":"9798532730328","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4b47714a-2c64-4d41-9b37-b5841f1548af.jpg?v=1695721661","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-revelation-to-patricia-patricia-wahle-9798532730328","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
