How should we be motivated in our study of Revelation or for that matter, the study of what theologians call, “Eschatology”? First, we should realize that God has a wise plan for the world that He has set from eternity past that He will fulfill His plan according to His will. Nothing is catching Him by surprise. Second, we know that God will be the victor. Despite what we see, evil and Satan will not win in the end. This gives us incredible hope. Third, we are reminded that this world is not our home. Our time here on earth is but a vapor (Jas. 4:14). We should live with abandon for the glory of God and look forward to the greater joy that awaits us. Fourth, we learn to assess our values. We learn that all that really matters is what lasts for eternity. All in this world will be burned up. Only God’s Word and human souls will live forever. Fifth, we know that God is holy. Heaven is about holy living. Our true identity in Christ is holiness. That’s why Peter concludes after discussing the end times: “What sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness” (2 Pet. 3:11). Sixth, knowing the terrible fate of those without Christ, how can we who claim to believe the Scriptures and truly love people refrain from sharing Jesus with them? And seventh, we have been given a glimpse in chapters 4 and 5 of Revelation into the glorious throne-room of God in heaven. May we worship God on earth as all of creation worships Him in heaven.

INSTRUCTIONS

These wonderful little make-ahead hors d'oeuvres are a treat to assemble in
the spring when asparagus hits the market. You can store them in your
freezer for a time later in the year when the taste would really hit the
spot.
Blanch asparagus spears until barely tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain
immediately and plunge into cold water to stop the cooking process. Remove
crusts from bread and flatten slices with a rolling pin. In a medium bowl,
combine cheeses and egg, blending with an electric beater. Spread mixture
evenly over bread slices. Trim asparagus spears to same length as bread
slices, and then place one spear on each slice and roll up, jelly roll
fashion. Dip each roll in melted butter to coat all sides, and place on a
cookie sheet.  Freeze rolls until hard, then re-package in freezer-storage
containers. When ready to bake, cut frozen rolls into thirds and bake
(while still frozen) in 400 degree oven for 15 minutes or until lightly
browned.  Serve immediately. Yields 75 pieces. (YES: 75) Source: Sandwich
