God gave the Revelation to John because He wanted His people to know what was going to happen in the end times. A recurring phrase is, “He that has an ear, let him hear.”

What does it mean to have an ear. If you want to hear a herd of elephants coming, what do you do? You put your ear to the ground. It’s a matter of knowing where to put your ear.

“Blessed is the man that heareth Me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of My doors.” [Pr. 8:34]

Here’s where we can hear:

• At church on Sundays
• At your home altar … the place where you do your daily devotions
• From the Bible as we read a daily portion (our daily Bread)
• From the voice of God’s Holy Spirit in our heart
• From the hearts of others, especially those who are hurting
• From the wise counsel of mature saints, fathers and mothers and teachers in the Christian faith

As Eli taught Samuel to say, “Speak Lord, for Your servant is listening.”
