1 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven, wrapped in a cloud, with a rainbow over his head, and his face was like the sun, and his legs like pillars of fire. 2 He had a little scroll open in his hand.

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!”
Revelation 9: 1-12….Overview time.
Introduction: As those of you who regularly read these devotionals, will have worked out for yourselves that almost every eighth day I change between Psalms, an Old Testament and a New Testament book.

Revelation 6: 1-11….The scene is set.
Introduction: When I was going to High School, which I started a mere 75 years ago. we were in our Christian weekly meeting encouraged to have a daily QT (Quiet time). ‘Make a habit of reading your Bible daily, thinking about what you read and pray’ we were told. I asked Wikipedia what a devotionalContinue reading “Revelation 6: 1-11….The scene is set.”
Revelation 5: 1-14….The Scroll and the Lamb – A Sealed Book and the Lamb of God!
Introduction: These days letters are usually sealed with a bit of glue moistened by spit or some other moisture or even two lots of glue pressed together.

John 1: 1-3 answers that! ‘In the beginning wasContinue reading “Revelation 3: 14-22….Please open the door!”
