[Revelation] Come, Lord Jesus

RevelationRevelation 22:18-21

This sermon looks at the situation in the Middle East and the rapidly changing world of technology from a biblical point of view, and points out that the signs of the end times are already clearly appearing. Going beyond frightening memories from childhood, it explains that totalitarian control and the development of superintelligent technology are now taking place as preconditions for the appearance of the Antichrist. In particular, it warns of the reality that artificial intelligence and data-collection technology threaten human dignity, and that through them a structure of rule that binds the whole world into one is nearing completion.

The sermon gives direction on how believers should live in such a confused age. It urges that even though the last day comes like a thief, we must stay awake as those who belong to the day, not to the night. It stresses that in order not to be deceived we must take up the shield of faith and love, hold on to the hope of salvation, and keep ourselves pure so as to win the spiritual battle. It says that even as the world turns against Christianity and morality collapses, what we need is not fear that judgment is about to fall, but a heart that longs for Christ's return.

Finally, the sermon closes by saying that believers should not be lazy but encourage one another, and live lives that rejoice always, pray, and in everything give thanks. It says that although we cannot stop what is evil, what matters is to keep the faith to the end and to prepare ourselves as the bride. The sermon asks whether believers can have the faith to wait for Christ's return with joy and eager anticipation rather than fear, and to cry out, 'Come, Lord Jesus.'
