Revelation 14: 14-20….Stade, stadium, stadia!
Introduction: We will all know the word stadium. This originated from the word stade a measurement which equaled the length of the foot race track at the ancient Olympic Games, about 190 metres! Stadia is the plural of both stade and stadium! There follows a very sobering passage which reminds me of a parable whichContinue reading “Revelation 14: 14-20….Stade, stadium, stadia!”

Revelation 13: 11-18….The wolf in disguise?

Revelation 13: 1-10….Is this a Fairy Tale?
Introduction: My honest answer to the question in the title is ‘no’! 1 And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. 2 And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet wereContinue reading “Revelation 13: 1-10….Is this a Fairy Tale?”
Rev 12: 7-12….Is this a war that involves us?
Introduction: If you read yesterday’s devotional I copied the whole of chapter 12 of the book of Revelation but only commented on the portion printed in red.

Victory won for those on theContinue reading “Rev 12: 7-12….Is this a war that involves us?”
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 10: 8-11: 3…Is this book a straight line story?
11 Then the voice that I had heard from heaven spoke to me again, saying, “Go, take the scroll that is open in the hand of the angel who is standing on the sea and on the land.” 9 So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll. AndContinue reading “Rev 10: 8-11: 3…Is this book a straight line story?”
