Blessed Revelation

The apostle John in his inspiration by the Holy Spirit embedded a number of blessings in the book of Revelation. I have noted seven of them here.

What is a 'blessing'? Blessings promise happiness to the people who listen to them.

Many of these blessings are also warnings. Far from the warnings of the world which demoralize and destroy, these warnings uplift those who listen to them, and have the power to impart something true about Life.

Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near.
Revelation 1:3

And I heard a voice from heaven, saying, "Write, `Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on!' " "Yes," says the Spirit, "so that they may rest from their labors, for their deeds follow with them."
Revelation 14:13

("Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his clothes, so that he will not walk about naked and men will not see his shame.")
Revelation 16:15

Then he *said to me, "Write, `Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.' " And he *said to me, "These are true words of God."
Revelation 19:9

Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.
Revelation 20:6

"And behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is he who heeds the words of the prophecy of this book."

Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter by the gates into the city.
