Resurrected: Easter Sunday Reflections for Revelation Watchers
As Easter Sunday dawns, amidst the blossoms of spring and the songs of returning birds, we stand on the threshold of a sacred moment—the celebration of Jesus Christ's resurrection. For Revelation Watchers, Resurrection Sunday holds a profound significance, weaving together the threads of prophecy, redemption, and renewal into hope and salvation.
Embracing the Promise of Resurrection
Easter Sunday beckons us to embrace the promise of resurrection—a promise that echoes across the ages, from the dawn of creation to the fulfillment of prophecy. In the resurrection of Jesus Christ, we find the assurance that death has been defeated and that life eternal awaits all who believe in Him.
"He is not here; he has risen, just as he said."
– Matthew 28:6a (NIV)
At Revelation Watchers, we are called to behold this promise with hearts full of faith and gratitude. Let us remember that the resurrection is not merely a historical event, but a living reality that continues to transform lives today. It is the cornerstone of our faith, the bedrock of our hope, and the source of our joy.
Renewed Hope in the Face of Darkness
In a world often shadowed by darkness and despair, where headlines are dominated by tragedies like the Baltimore Bridge Collapse, fertilizer company explosions, and the looming uncertainty surrounding events like the April 8, 2024 Great North American Eclipse and the intensifying 2024 Presidential Campaign, Easter Sunday shines as a beacon of hope—a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is light. Just as the dawn breaks through the night, so too does the resurrection of Jesus Christ pierce the darkness of sin and death, offering us hope and redemption.
"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it."
– John 1:5 (NIV)
As Revelation Watchers, we are called to be ambassadors of this hope, sharing the good news of Easter with a world in need of salvation. Let us proclaim with boldness and conviction that Christ is risen indeed, and that His victory over death is our victory as well.

Celebrating the Gift of Salvation
On this Easter Sunday, let us celebrate the greatest gift ever bestowed upon humanity—the gift of salvation. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus Christ opened the door to eternal life for all who believe in Him. As Revelation Watchers, we are privileged to bear witness to this truth and to share it with others.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
– John 3:16 (NIV)
As we gather with family and friends to celebrate Easter, let us rejoice in the profound truth of our salvation. Let us give thanks for the sacrificial love of our Savior and the promise of new life found in Him. May this Easter be a time of spiritual renewal, deepening our commitment to follow Christ and share His love with others.
Encouragement from the Book of Revelation
From the Book of Revelation, we draw encouragement in the knowledge that Christ's victory over death has been foretold since ancient times. As Revelation Watchers, we are reminded of the ultimate triumph of good over evil, light over darkness, and truth over deception.
"And he said to me, 'It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.'"
– Revelation 21:6-7 (ESV)
A Message of Love and Hope from Pastor Paul Begley and Troy Anderson
In our collaborative work, Revelation 911, a #1 “Best Seller” and #1 “Hot New Release” on Amazon, we aim to share Jesus' love, hope, and encouragement in the end times. Drawing from the prophetic words of Jesus in Matthew 24 and the vivid imagery of His second coming depicted in the book of Revelation, our new book, released Tuesday, March 26, serves as a guiding light for people seeking to understand the signs of the times and prepare for the Lord's return.
"For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man."
– Matthew 24:27 (NIV)
"Look, he is coming with the clouds,' and 'every eye will see him, even those who pierced him'; and all peoples on earth 'will mourn because of him.' So shall it be! Amen."
– Revelation 1:7 (NIV)
These scriptures from Matthew 24 and Revelation 1:7 speak to the signs of the end times and the second coming of Jesus Christ, offering guidance and assurance to us believers as we navigate the challenges and uncertainties of the present age.
Watch and Pray
As Jesus instructed His disciples in
Matthew 26:41
"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
This admonition resonates with Revelation Watchers today, reminding us to remain vigilant in our faith and steadfast in prayer as we await the glorious return of our Lord and Savior.
Reflections and Exhortation
As we commemorate Easter Sunday, let us rejoice in the victory of our risen Savior and the hope of eternal life that He offers. May the message of resurrection resound in our hearts and minds, filling us with joy, peace, and unwavering confidence in God's promises.
Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed Easter, filled with the abundant blessings of God's grace and the assurance of His presence.

Scriptural Contemplation
Matthew 24:
"Jesus left the temple and was walking away when his disciples came up to him to call his attention to its buildings. 'Do you see all these things?' he asked. 'Truly I tell you, not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down.'
As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. 'Tell us,' they said, 'when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?'
Jesus answered: 'Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, "I am the Messiah," and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.'
Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come."
Revelation 1:7:
"Look, he is coming with the clouds,' and 'every eye will see him, even those who pierced him'; and all peoples on earth 'will mourn because of him.' So shall it be! Amen."
These scriptures from Matthew 24 and Revelation 1:7 speak to the signs of the end times and the second coming of Jesus Christ, offering guidance and assurance to believers as they navigate the challenges and uncertainties of the present age.
Salvation Prayer: A Call to Divine Grace and Transformation
Dear Heavenly Father,
As we gather in prayer, we come before You with hearts open to Your divine grace and mercy. We lift up the "Salvation Prayer" to You, knowing that through it, souls are touched and lives are transformed by Your saving power.
We pray for those who are seeking salvation, that they may find comfort and assurance in Your loving embrace. Guide them along the path of righteousness, O Lord, and lead them to the foot of the cross where they can experience the fullness of Your forgiveness and redemption.
Grant wisdom and discernment to those who are sharing the message of salvation, that their words may be filled with Your truth and their actions with Your compassion. May they serve as vessels of Your grace, extending Your invitation to all who are lost and searching for hope.
Lord, we pray for those who have already accepted Your gift of salvation, that they may continue to walk in obedience and faithfulness all the days of their lives. Strengthen their resolve, O God, and empower them to bear witness to Your love and grace in a world that desperately needs Your saving touch.
As we lift up the "Salvation Prayer" to You, we ask for Your blessings to be poured out abundantly upon all who utter it with sincerity and conviction. May it serve as a bridge between humanity and divinity, leading souls into eternal fellowship with You, their loving Creator.
In Jesus’ holy and precious name, we pray.
Amen.
