Revelation 12: 1-6….Do the colours mark thought divisions?
Introduction: I have quoted the whole of chapter 12 but printed it in three colours because I believe that we have three different, although related, thoughts highlighted! a) Thoughts about a pregnant woman, her adversary and what happened at the time of the male child’s birth. b) War in heaven between Good and Evil forces.Continue reading “Revelation 12: 1-6….Do the colours mark thought divisions?”

Rev 9: 13-21….A verbal ‘video’ of events to come!
Introduction: With my way of doing things – doing roughly a week of each an OT book, Psalms, and a NT book – when I come back to one of them it is possible to have forgotten the context of where I start rewriting! I think of chapters 4 to the end of this bookContinue reading “Rev 9: 13-21….A verbal ‘video’ of events to come!”
