Revelation 14 (April 29)

Revelation 13 (April 28)

Revelation 12 (April 27)

7 Then there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and his angels. 8 And the dragon lost the battle, and he and his angels were forced out of heaven. 9 This great dragon—the ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, the one deceiving the whole world—was thrown down to the earth with all his angels.
--------------------------------------
Wow... okay, so I'm wondering if this is when Satan and the 1/3 of the angels were thrown onto earth. This revelation seems like it is the revelation of what happened before time began...before the world was created.. or before Adam and Eve ate from the fruit. There is a mystery here that is really deep and I would love to understand what all this means. I have always wondered where the story of Satan taking one third of the angels (fallen angels) down to earth came from...Is it this chapter? If I remember correctly there is another book in the Bible that has this story. Anyway, the devil has little time and is trying to devour all of us who belong to Christ! But praise be to God...that will never happen because God has a hold on our lives!! He is faithful and just!! He has forgiven us from all our sin and has snatched us out from the depths of death!

Revelation 11 (April 26)

15 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices shouting in heaven:
“The world has now become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ,t
and he will reign forever and ever.”
------------------
Wow what a trip this book is... there are some crazy visions I don't even understand! But I chose this verse because it is cool that part of the Hallelujah chorus is derived from this verse. "And He shall reign forever and ever!! Hallelujah. These elders and heavenly beings will be singing in the midst of destruction...that God reigns forever and ever. God is a great God and even though we may not understand what lies ahead... especially in the end times...we must always believe that Jesus Christ is Lord! We must worship Him alone!!
