Deep dives
The importance of the second coming as a means to destroy those who would destroy the earth
Revelation highlights the second coming as a means to destroy those who would destroy the earth. As God and Christ reveal themselves, the nations become angry. The purpose of Christ's coming is to put an end to the wickedness and destruction caused by those who oppose Him. The righteous must rely on God and continue to push forward in faith, for Zion shall escape if she observes to do all that is required. The Saints need not fear, for God will preserve the righteous even as His judgments are poured out.
Satan's focus on changing doctrine to lead good people astray
Satan's strategy is to change doctrine in order to lead good people astray. He seeks to corrupt the doctrine of abundance, marriage, and sanctity of the family. By changing the doctrine, he can get good people to do things contrary to God's will. Hence, it becomes vital for the Saints to promote and strengthen Zion by promoting faith, family, temple work, personal purity, love, and unity. By doing so, the Saints can resist the influence of Satan and avoid being caught in apostasy, becoming a powerful force for good in the last days.
The importance of preparing and proselyting
Preparation and proselyting are of utmost importance in these latter days. The Saints have a duty to reach out to others and bring them into the fold of Zion. The future promises to be unlike anything seen before, as God moves on the stage of history, dwelling with His people, and preparing for the great millennial reign. It is through preparation and proselyting that the Saints can provide others with the peace and rest they need during troubled times and ensure their own safety and salvation.
The invitation to come and partake of the waters of life
Revelation ends with an invitation to all to come and partake of the waters of life freely. The righteous are called to come and those who hear the message of truth are urged to come and be saved. The responsibility ultimately lies with individuals to accept or reject the truth. As God's wrath is poured out upon the wicked, those who reject the truth will suffer the consequences of their actions. The invitation remains, inviting all to choose the path of light and salvation.
Dr. Richard Draper further examines the significance of Jesus Christ as the “bright and morning star.” He explores the reasons behind His invitation to experience peace and rest, especially in times of turmoil.
