Thy Strong Word from KFUO Radio Revelation 22:1-21: Apocalypse—Jesus is Coming Soon. Come, Lord Jesus!
Heaven— God’s final vision of heaven to John unfolds with the river of the water of life flowing from God’s throne and the tree of life bearing its eternal fruit, symbolizing abundance and healing. Jesus proclaims, "I am coming soon," offering an open invitation to all who thirst for His presence to come and receive freely. This message of hope is both a promise and a call to action. May we be ever responding to His invitation, living in eager anticipation of His return.
The Rev. Warren Woerth, pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church, Arnold, MO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Revelation 22:1-21.
Shrouded in mysterious visions of cosmic battles, plagues, and catastrophic events, the Apocalypse of St. John, or as it’s more commonly known--the Book of Revelation, paints a haunting picture of the end times. Cryptic symbols of beasts, the rise of the Antichrist, and the final judgment unfold with unsettling intensity, revealing the ultimate clash between good and evil. Yet, beneath its terrifying imagery, Revelation is also a deeply personal letter, offering comfort to early Christians facing persecution. It reassures them—and believers today—of God's control over history, His promise of redemption, and the certainty of Christ's victory.
Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God’s Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
