A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold is as pictures of silver.(Prov.25:11) It is so important to speak the right words to people at the right time to produce the right results. When you think of apples of gold in pictures of silver, then you are thinking of wealth and excellence. When we speak wisdom into the lives of others we are making them wealthy. Therefore we must seek God for He is the source of all wisdom and He will give us just the right words needed at the right time.

#And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying Come and see. And I saw, and behold a white horse and he that sat on him had a bow and a crown was given unto him and he went forth conquering and to conquer. Revelation 6:1,2
John beholds the Lamb, who is the Lord Jesus Christ open the first seal, and there is the sound of thunder in heaven with one of the four beasts saying Come and see. Then a white horse with him that sat on him had a bow and a crown, and he went forth conquering and to conquer. This is a picture of the antichrist or man of sin, as he has many surnames. This is the beginning of the seven-year tribulation and the man of sin will lead a ten-nation confederacy as a world dictator. The devil is a counterfeiter and tries to imitate the Lord Jesus when He returns as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.Yes, the whole world will follow this personification of the devil, and the world will think that they are going into peace with safety. For he shall sign a seven-year peace treaty with Israel, and it will work for three and a half years. This will be a covenant with death and hades that Israel will sign, for only the Lamb will be able to save them from it when the antichrist breaks it in the middle of the seventieth week of Daniel's prophecy. What a time to be alive, for we are seeing the approaching hoof beats of the four horsemen of the apocalypse.
#And they sang a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred and tongue, and people and nation. And hast made us unto our God kings and priests and we shall reign on the earth. And I beheld, and I heard voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand and thousands of thousands: Saying with a loud voice worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor and glory, and blessings. And every creature which is in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea and all that are in them heard I saying the blessing, and honor and glory, and power be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever. Revelation 5:9-13
#And I beheld and lo in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. And He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the throne. And when He had taken the book, the four beasts and the four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints. Revelation 5:6-8
#And I saw in the right hand of Him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book and to loose the seals thereof? And no man in heaven, nor in the earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon. And I wept much because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. Revelation 5:1-4
#And before the throne there was a sea of glass like unto crystal and in the midst of the throne and round about the throne were four beasts full of eyes before and behind. And the first beast was like a lion and the second beast like a calf and the third beast had a face as a man and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle. And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him and they were full of eyes within and they rest not day or night saying Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was and is and is to come. Revelation 4:7,8
#And round about the throne were four and twenty seats and upon the seats, I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment and they had on their heads crowns of gold. And out of the throne proceed Lightnings, and thunderings and voices and there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne which are the seven Spirits of God. Revelation 4:4,5
#After this I looked and behold, a door was opened in heaven and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me: which said, Come up hither and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. And immediately I was in the spirit and behold, a throne was set in heaven and one sat on the throne. And He that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. Revelation 4:1-3
#And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write: these things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God. I know thy works that thou art neither cold nor hot. I would that thou were cold or hot. So then because of thou art lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich and increased with goods and have need of nothing and knowest not that thou art wretched and miserable, and poor and blind, and naked. I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be clothed and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any man hears my voice and open the door, I will come into him and will sup with him and he with me. To him that overcometh I will grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I overcame and am set down with my Father in His throne. He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Revelation 3:14-22
Jesus rebukes the church of the Laodiceans for being lukewarm, for He wishes that they were hot or cold. Then He tells them to buy gold tried in the fire that thou mayest be clothed and thine nakedness does, not appear. All those I love I chasten. So repent and I will grant him that overcomes to sit with me in my throne. What a glorious promise this is.
#And to the angel of the church of Philadelphia write; these things saith He that hath the key of David, He that openeth and no man shutteth and shutteth and no man openeth. I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength and hast kept my word and hast not denied my name. Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews and are not, but lie, behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet and to know that I have loved thee. Because thou hast kept the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. Behold, I come quickly: hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God and he shall go no more out and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God and I will write upon him my new name. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Revelation 3:7-13
#And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; these things saith He that hath the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest and art dead. Be watchful and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God. Remember therefore how thou hast received and heard and hold fast and repent. If therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief and thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. Thou hast a few names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments and they shall walk with me in white: for they are worthy. He that overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will confess his name before my Father and before His angels. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Revelation 3:1-6
