Quotes About Revelation

Everything that we need to know as Christians is found in the Bible.

as Paul puts it, "The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned" (1 Corinthians 2:14).

We must defy theologians who insist that God no longer performs the miraculous or speaks to people in special ways,

The Bible, or Scripture, is the ultimate authority and first principle of the Christian system, and it is the source of our knowledge about God and the things of God.

Although many people deprecate words in favor of images and feelings, God chose to reveal himself and to communicate with us in the words of human language. Words are able to convey in an exact and univocal manner information from God and about God. This affirms that Scripture is a meaningful divine revelation, and it also affirms that preaching and writing are able to communicate the mind of God as set forth in the Bible.

if God wanted to communicate with us through images, he could have inspired the prophets and apostles to draw pictures into the Bible. But there is not even one.

God is the ruler over every person and every institution, not just the believer and the church. And since the Bible is his revelation, it carries the same authority over every person and every institution. Therefore, every human government must submit and operate under the Bible, and any deviation from it constitutes sinful rebellion against divine authority.

If it refuses to honor biblical revelation, we shall whip it into submission with the hard chain of logic.

Revelation 7:9-10 reads: After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb.

Man cannot know God by his own wisdom and power, but only by God's self-disclosure, which he delivered through the prophets and the apostles.

Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free" (John 8:31-32). Satan attempts to keep us in bondage to his lies, but we can be set free through the truth that God has revealed to us.

The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them" (Romans 1:18-19). Therefore, God's intense anger will punish all non-Christians and make them suffer.

There is no salvation outside of the Bible because there is no way to know God or his way to salvation outside of the writings of the prophets and the apostles.

Christians must affirm the sufficiency of Scripture, that "the things revealed" contain enough information for men to make all kinds of decisions. The Bible is able to equip a person "for every good work" (2 Timothy 3:17).

Revelation 4:11 says, "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.

since God has revealed himself through the Scripture, to know the Scripture is to know him, and this means to study theology.

God gave them a spirit of stupor, eyes so that they could not see and ears so that they could not hear, to this very day'" (Romans 11:7-8).

John 1:1: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

As long as a person denies that the Bible is itself divine revelation, it remains nothing more than an ordinary book, so that he would hesitate to offer it complete reverence, as if it is possible to excessively adore it.

There's something fascinating about seeing something you don't like at first but directly know you will love—in time. People are that way, all through life. You come against a personality, and it questions yours. You shy away but know there are gratifying secrets there, and the half-open door is often more exciting than the wide.

To me, that book has been both a revelation and a gospel.

I was doing just fine on my own before the old man died and Lisa came storming back into my life. I was writing, building my audience, travelling, not thinking about fire, not thinking about Lisa as much as I used to. David Bourenhem was of zero concern to me. I was free. I'll say it again: I . . . was . . . free. But now the old paranoia has raised its ugly, scarred head again. The paranoia, the obsessions, the bad habits. The fire. They're all sneaking back into my life.
