“Blessed is the one who reads the words of the prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near” (Rev 1:3).
Most military operations require extensive planning. Up at the top there are CONPLANS (concept plan) which contains the commander’s strategy and other information necessary to complete the mission. This plan speaks to some future time but does not specify the exact date and time.
The book of Revelations, in many respects, is God’s plan for future operations. In it we do not get all the details but it does sketch the concept and information necessary for his army to be ready when the plan is actually executed.
This verse provides excellent counsel and guidance for every soldier. In essence, it says, “You will be blessed if you read and obey what this plan says. Don’t fool around. The plan will become reality soon.”
So we don’t have to fear the future. God has it all mapped out and under control. And in time He will execute it. Our supreme commander with come in glory and will lead us on into victory. We need to know what business he has asked to be about in the mean time. We need to ready for his return.
Do you know your commanders intent? Do you have a copy of his orders?
Be ready. Follow His guidance!
