On February 20, 2023 Dr. Michael Heiser passed away from cancer. He was a beautiful man of God, and served the Lord all His life. He always held fast the testimony that He loved so much.

One of the things he said in his final words were, "I will die happy to have served the Lord."

What a person says at the end of their life as a believer bears the testimony of Jesus that they held fast to the end. It is the culmination of the final witness of the faith of Jesus Christ forever.

I read a few days later in Revelation 6:9: "And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held."

What are you holding onto? What is your life speaking to others? Of the Sardis church it was said of them that "they had a name that they were alive but were dead."

Yet there were a few names Jesus took note of and said they were "those who did not defile their garments and they shall walk with Me in white for they are worthy."

John said that he "saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God."

How beautiful must the sight of those saints in glory must be that John saw in the light of a thousand suns. Those who "were slain for the word of God and the testimony that they held."

What testimony are you holding onto that will bear witness of the one and only True and Living God? A testimony that at your final day will be eligible to bear the signet stamp of The Great Shepherd King Jesus Christ?

Of your final words on earth and His name you staked your eternal life on that will be written in the Book of Eternity?
