you might be happy to know that even though my husband's volatile stomach kept him from our good friend's confirmation/membership service this am, we snuck in some more reading/discussing of the b-i-b-l-e (yes that's the book for me :). ~we may be kind of addicted to the drama and crescendo of revelations~ that's what we started in on last night and continued with today and funny enough, the second lesson at church was a passage from revelations and was the heart of the sermon even.
so what I'm finding is that the more I look to the bible for certain things, the more I'm retaining its contents. weird but after hearing many many passages and lessons ect ect, I really didn't know where to look for much except like, john 3:16. but now I've especially gotten a better handle on the new testament...the gospel or story telling books and then the letters or the communication to the churches and then revelations!! my bible has an overview at the end and it says that revelations completes the story. it totally does! and talking about it with my hubby last night made me honestly excited for the apocalypse. CRAZY RIGHT? but the imagery is amazing. the first three chapters of revelation are the intro and direction for seven churches but starting in the fourth chapter the story telling doors open up and you know, john is prophesying what will happen some day.
revelation 11:15 The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: "The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever."
revelation 12:7-8 And there was war in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven.
revelation 20:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God.
