Day 235
Tattoo of world ruler Revelation 13 Key Verses: 2, 8, 10, 11, 16-17 You can hear John working hard to describe what he saw. Ten horns, seven heads, ten crowns, leopard, bear, lion. This is unlike anything he had ever seen, and unlike anything we have seen. No wonder we can’t picture it. ThisContinue reading “Day 235”
Day 234
Unrelenting opposition of dragon Revelation 12 Key Verses: 5, 8, 10, 11, 17 I have to admit that as I read this chapter, much of what is written I don’t understand.

Day 233
Opposition to two witnesses Revelation 11 Key Verses: 3, 9, 11, 15, 18, 19 God has never been without a witness to the Truth. Even when judgment comes, God still desires repentance and restoration.

Day 232
Book eaten by John Revelation 10 Key Verses: 4, 7, 9, Why would God not tell us everything? I have the feeling that we couldn’t handle knowing more than He has revealed.

Day 231
Abyss releases more trumpets Revelation 9 Key Verses: 1, 4, 7, 16, 20, How can a physical star fall from the sky and then be given a key?

Day 230
Yoke of four trumpets Revelation 8 Key Verses: 1, 4, 5, 13 Silence and heaven usually don’t go hand in hand.

Day 229
Crowd coming from tribulation Revelation 7 Key Verses: 3, 4, 9, 14, 16, 17 This chapter starts with Jewish believers being sealed for protection from the coming wrath.

Day 228
Each seal is broken Revelation 6 Key Verses: 1, 4, 6, 8, 10, 14, 16 Trying to understand what John saw can be very difficult. He used his language and visual experiences to record what he saw. We use our language and visual experiences to interpret what we read. And these two datasets areContinue reading “Day 228”
Day 227
Holy Lamb is worshiped Revelation 5 Key Verses: 1, 3, 9, 12, 13 Double sealed scrolls were used in the ancient world to protect the most important documents.
