Abstract
M.Litt. et Phil.
The role of the Spirit in the Eschatological Ethics of Revelation was a topic
that has given me Great Joy to learn in the book of Revelation the role of the
Spirit, Eschatology and Ethics. In this book I have discovered the plan of
Salvation which was laid before the foundation of the World in a very clear
manner. God, The Master of the universe, revealed to John the final story of this
world's history, at the Isles of Patmos.
The Trinity is well explained and even their duties as the God Head. God The
Father, God The Son and God The Holy Ghost of which my dissertation is looking
at the office or the role of the Spirit in the Second Coming of Christ. From
Genesis to Malachi, it is God the Father who revealed himself to mankind, and
from Matthew to Acts 1 : 8., It is God the Son who came in person to reveal God
the Father and from Acts 1:9 to Revelation it is God the Holy Spirit who will
teach us all that God the son could not finish teaching us. The Script is divided into Five Chapters which are the orientation into the book
of Revelation, the theology and the ethics of the book of Revelation, the
Eschatological Ethics in Revelation, the Holy Spirit in Revelation and the role
of the Spirit and the Eschatological Ethics of Revelation, which is the theme of
this script. Then we have the conclusion of the script.
There are very few books written on Revelation and let alone on the Spirit but
I have tried to outline the role of the spirit in this great book of the Bible
and I hope to research further on some issues that are hard in Revelation. It
is the book that summarises the history of the World Kingdoms in only 22 Chapters
and I have limited mine to only Five Chapters. The Spirit has played the greatest
role in Revelation because according to plan it is the time for it to play its
role. The last events of this world will be shocking, the devil is angry. In the book of Revelation God calls Himself as the King of kings and Lord of
Lords. He is the Almighty God. All creation own their existence to Him. It was
one book of the Bible I did not like reading, but the research has helped me to
develop some liking for the book. It is the book for our modern generation and
unlike the book of Daniel which was to be put away until the end times, this one
is to be read and a blessing is pronounce to the one who will read the book. We
need to read this book very much and books that are in context should be written
about the book. The few books that have been written on Revelation are not all
very relevant. They miss the point. Most of them need well researched books to
make clear the mysteries that are in Revelation and the Bible explains itself
even in other books of the Bible which can also be used to explain the book of
Revelation. The book of Daniel even though its in the old Testament, it has a lot
in common with the book of Revelation. The book of Revelation opens for the reading of the book of Daniel in the old
Testament and for one to understand Revelation well, one needs to read the book
of Daniel together with Revelation. The beasts in Daniel are the beasts in
Revelation. Even though some people would want to divide the old and the new
Testament, they are the same and they interpret each other very well. The new
testament has a lot of old testament quotations.
I am trying to correct some misinterpretation of some verses found in the Book
of Revelation and It will be good for any one who will read this script to read
it carefully and critically because in the field of learning we learn by making
mistakes and your input will be appreciated. In Revelation the devil is being
given the last warning and all those that need life are called to come out of
Babylon the Mother of all Harlots because if we do not come out of her and keep
the commandments of God, then we will drink of the wrath of God which will be
poured without a mixture for all those that worship the beast and its image.
