"We are inclined to lightly pass over many profound statements of truth in the word of God. In glorious rapture John beheld the awe-inspiring scene of the sea of glass mingled with fire, and that illustrious company of “them that come off victorious,” or literally in the Greek text, “those conquering away from” the beast...."
Much more in the text:
I even gave you a +1 because it's not about votes. The author knows the Latter Rain movement, he grew up in it, he saw it's good and it's bad, he speaks of much of it in His writings. Following Jesus Christ and the kingdom of God is not about sectarian bias. I've been in many Christian circles throughout my life, Jesus Christ is the teacher, not the doctrines of a particular sect. That is what Preston Eby teaches throughout his writings, the living Lord Jesus Christ working in the individual. I guess most sectarians have a beef with him.
"The book of Revelation is THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST. Revelation is a book that teaches who and what Jesus Christ is. It reveals Him in all of His glory, unveils Him in all of His fullness. You will find Jesus the Christ in every chapter of the book, for it is the revelation of Himself. When we read the message of the Revelation with a heart that seeks after Christ, we see in every page His face and hear from every line His voice. If we do not see Christ in the pages of the Revelation, then all we see is vanity. By drawing near to this book in the power of the Holy Spirit, we draw near to Christ. How beautiful that is! May the elect of God receive much grace to see more and more of Christ in the pages of this book!"

"Walk in the Spirit of the Lord, and you'll see Jesus, Walk in the Spirit of the Lord, you'll see the King; Walk in the Spirit of the Lord, and you will find Him: He's resurrected in His body, He lives in me!"

"The book of Revelation reveals the centrality of Jesus Christ upon the throne of the universe and upon His throne within our hearts. It gives us centeredness. It gives us something to build our life around. It gives us our proper orbit in the heavens of God's Spirit. In 400 B.C. the philosophers and scientists thought the earth was flat, and the planets were wandering stars. They had no comprehension of any order of the universe. It was in 340 B.C. that Aristotle first introduced the concept that there was order in the universe and that the earth was the center of the universe. He saw the sun and the stars as lights in the canopy of the heavens that moved around the earth. But for 1600 years they struggled to make sense out of the times and seasons with any predictability. Then, about 400 years ago, Copernicus discovered that the sun is the center of our solar system. As this knowledge expanded it gave stability and predictability to all the events on earth that are controlled by the order of the heavens."
