This message was preached by Jesse M. Boyd on January 8, 2023 at New Testament Christian Fellowship in Claremont, NC. Its focus is the very last warning found in the Book of Revelation and, consequently, the Holy Scriptures. The God of the Bible is a merciful God, for He never dispenses judgment WITHOUT warning; and it is this element of His character that sets Him apart from all the false gods of men and mythologies. To warn is to love, and the act of warning, in fact, is a great act of mercy.

The Bible is full of warning, and Jesus Himself, the Living Word, utters the very last of those in Revelation 22:18-19, concerning the Written Word. DO NOT MESS WITH GOD’S WORD! Don’t mess with the prophecies, the Book of Revelation, any other Book of the Bible, or the very words themselves. To do so invites very serious consequences. This warning is two-fold, and its simple: Don’t add to God’s Word, and don’t subtract from God’s Word.
