THE STORY OF THE SEER OF PATMOS

                                             Stephen N. Haskell


                 “Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at
                                              hand” Revelation 22:10.



               fullness of God’s love; and the Omega, the final


               completion,  which  rising  above  the  fall,  and



               having banished every trace of sin, sits as King


               of  kings,  surrounded  by  subjects  who  are


               better able to appreciate the spiritual nature


               of Jehovah and His kingdom than they could


               have  been,  had  sin  never  entered.  This  is


               infinite love, the character of our God and His


               Christ.  And  above  all,  as  the  most  supreme


               manifestation of that love, is the promise that


               he  that  overcometh  through  Christ,  shall


               inherit all these things. The new earth is not


               awarded like charity gifts, parceled out to the


               poor  of  earth;  it  is  not  bought,  but  men  are


               born into the family of God, and as joint heirs


               with Jesus Christ, they receive the new earth


               as an inheritance. Christ spoke to Nicodemus
