Revelation 1:14 – His head and his hair were white like wool—like snow. His eyes were like flames of fire.
Random question: Why is Jesus hair white? And in a vision, does he look the way that he “really” looks? Just curious.

Revelation 2:25 – Just hold on to what you have until I come.
Sometimes when it truly feels like everything is going to end. That our world has fallen apart and everyone is against us. Hold on until Yahweh comes.
Revelation 3:8b -… You only have a little strength, but you have paid attention to my word and have not denied my name.

Revelation 22:17 – The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” Let those who hear this say, “Come!” Let those who are thirsty come! Let those who want the water of life take it as a gift.
Revelation 22:20 – The one who is testifying to these things says, “Yes, I’m coming soon!” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!
Amen!
