Amen and amen and good morning and welcome and you can be seated so glad that you're here.

Those of you online we're so glad that you're joining with us.

If you don't mind we're going to just get right to it.

We're going to start in chapter 21 of Revelation today in our verse by verse study through this book, the last book in the Bible.

And we have really reached a turning point, for lack of a better word, such that up to this point,

we have perfectly studied verse by verse through this divine outline that John,

the Apostle was given by God in chapter 1 recorded in verse 19, where he's told to write

that which is now, that which, pardon me, but a long week, you're

going to have to really be, I need a lot of grace.

That which was past, that which is now present and that which is about to happen yet future.

So there's your divine outline.

So let's just close in prayer.

Chapter one, past Jesus Christ whom John was an eyewitness of, if you might remember,

crucified, buried, resurrected, glorified, seated at the right hand of the Father.

Chapter 1. Chapter 2 and 3.

7 letters to 7 churches. That's what's now. We're living in the last of the last drops of the last of the last churches how am i doing? Okay.

The Church of Laodicea, the lukewarm last days church.

Because here's why, that's present.

We're presently chapters two and three, us now here. We are on the cusp, and I mean the cusp of chapter four, verse one,

which is yet future, on through to the rest of the book. Verse one of chapter four, John hears the trumpet and the call of God to come up here.

That's the rapture.

Pre-tribulation.
