​Introduction:

         1. This morning we studied "4 special blessings associated with the Gospel."
         2. This evening we are concentrating on "4 special blessings revealed in Revelation."

Discussion:

I.           WE  LEARN  FROM  REVELATION  1:3  THAT  A  SPECIAL  BLESSING  IS  IN  STORE  FOR  THOSE  WHO
             READ,  HEAR,  AND  KEEP  THE  WORDS  OF  THIS  PROPHECY

         A. We must understand what this message is -- "the Revelation of Christ" (vs.1).
             1. God gave it to Christ.
             2. The Lord signified it by His angel to John.
             3. John wrote it down.
         B. We must listen carefully to this message (ch.2-3: "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit
             saith unto the churches").
         C. We must follow the instructions that are given (Revelation 22:7, 14).
         D. We must heed the warnings given in Revelation 22:18-19.

II.          WE  LEARN  FROM  REVELATION  16:15  THAT  A  SPECIAL  BLESSING  IS  IN  STORE  FOR  THOSE  WHO
             WATCH  AND  KEEP  THEIR  GARMENTS

         A. In keeping our garments we must first have them washed white in the Lord's blood (7:13-14).
         B. After having our garments cleansed, we must not allow them to become "defiled" (3:4).

III.         WE  LEARN  FROM  REVELATION  19:7-9  THAT  A  SPECIAL  BLESSING  IS  IN  STORE  FOR  THOSE  WHO
             ARE  CALLED  TO  THE  MARRIAGE  SUPPER  OF  THE  LAMB

         A. We know who the Lamb is -- Christ.
         B. John showed when this marriage will take place (Revelation 21:2, 9-10).

IV.         WE  LEARN  FROM  REVELATION  14:13  THAT  A  SPECIAL  BLESSING  IS  IN  STORE  FOR  THOSE  WHO
             DIE  IN  THE  LORD

         A. The Bible explains how we get into the Lord in:
             1. Romans 6:3-4
             2. Galatians 3:26-27.
         B. After getting into the Lord we are to abide in Him (John 15:4-7).
         C. Those who remain in the Lord and die in the Lord will receive a crown of life (Revelation 2:10).
