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. Today, I’m concentrating on the portion in brown which yesterday I said was about ‘War in heaven between Good and Evil forces. Victory won for those on theContinue reading “Rev 12: 7-12….Is this a war that involves us?”

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. At special times in the church calendar I will deviate a bit for a few days. I am doing a review todayContinue reading “Revelation 9: 1-12….Overview time.”
Isaiah 11: 1-5….Is Jesus the shoot from the stump of Jesse?
1 There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse,and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit.2 And the Spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him,the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,the Spirit of counsel and might,the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the LORD.3 And his delight shall be inContinue reading “Isaiah 11: 1-5….Is Jesus the shoot from the stump of Jesse?”
Mark 13: 1-13….Past, Present and Future!
Comment: Jesus is obviously here talking about future events. The question (v4) asked by the disciples was almost certainly related to Jesus’ statement about the destruction of the physical temple which they were admiring. Jesus’ answer is much wider! I think that there has been much division caused between Christians and confusion in unbelievers becauseContinue reading “Mark 13: 1-13….Past, Present and Future!”
1 Thessalonians 5: 1-11….About thieves and pregnancy!
Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18….Get the Facts Straight!
But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. For this we declareContinue reading “1 Thessalonians 4:13-18….Get the Facts Straight!”
Rev 22: 6-21….The Summary as a New Beginning commences!
And he said to me, “These words are trustworthy and true.

Blessed is the one who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”I,Continue reading “Rev 22: 6-21….The Summary as a New Beginning commences!”
Rev 21: 22-22:5….Wonder follows Wonder
And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb. By its light will the nations walk,Continue reading “Rev 21: 22-22:5….Wonder follows Wonder”
Rev 21: 9-21….What does all this mean?
Then came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues and spoke to me, saying, “Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb.” And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city JerusalemContinue reading “Rev 21: 9-21….What does all this mean?”
Rev 21: 1-8….The revolting has been dealt with! An assured future, perfection promised.
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loudContinue reading “Rev 21: 1-8….The revolting has been dealt with! An assured future, perfection promised.”
