ReplyDeleteVery informative, we all need to be aware of the future...thank u!
ReplyDeleteFor this morning’s devotional I had the chance 2 review Revelation 20, Rev 17 and Rev 14… in that order.
ReplyDeleteI was so blessed because for years
I just could not understand the book of Revelation.
But God, through the Holy Spirit of course, enlightened my understanding and I finally can say that “I got it”.
Pastor Xavier has always said how “simple” the Book of Revelation is and I just thought, “Yeah, 4 you and all the other scholars”!
But today, I can encourage you to not give up on understanding the of Revelation … for God wants His people to know his plans and His ways.
God has inspired John to write these things, “so that we would know”!
