Blessings

The Bible's book of Revelation talks about the blessings people will receive when Jesus returns.

The Sermon on the Mount teaches about the blessings we can receive on earth as well as when we get to heaven.


Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.

Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.


Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on.

Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.


Blessed are all who are watching for me.

Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.


Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.


Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years

Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.


Blessed are those who obey the words of prophecy written in this book.

Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.


Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.

Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called children of God.
