the Bible's last promise (revelation 22:20a)

This sermon was preached at New Testament Christian Fellowship in Claremont, NC on February 5, 2023. The focus of this message is the LAST PROMISE found in the Holy Scriptures, the very last of more than 3,500 Bible promises. These last words of promise are also the last red letter words of the New Testament, and they hearken to the substance of the Bible’s very first promise found in Genesis 3:15. The Bible’s first promise affirms the seed of the woman is coming. in the Bible’s last promise, the seed of the women affirms, “Surely, I come quickly.”

The last promise of the Bible shouts loudly that God hasn’t forgotten the very first promise of the Bible. How then should we respond in these dark days when it seems the Lord bears long with us? Cry out to Him (Luke 18:7-8). Watch (Mark 13:31-37). Occupy (Luke 19:11-13). Stand in the gap for the land (Ezekiel 22:30-31). Be willing to stand alone (2 Samuel 23:8-12). Anchor yourself (Hebrews 6:13-20). God’s promises, first and last and everything in between, are truly an anchor for the soul.
