The last study of Revelation left off in chapter 19. This is part 2 of the last chapters of Revelation. If you have ever wanted to study Revelation but are scared (like me) I encourage you to go back and read through the book and follow along with my notes. I breakdown the symbolism into...

Revelation: Chapters 14-22: Symbolism and Final Blessing (Part 1)
The last study of Revelation left off in chapter 13. We discussed the mark of the beast not being a literal "mark", the meaning translates to "never God, never God, never God."

Also, take in account it was 1980-something and the fear of Russia dropping a bomb on us was a... Continue Reading →
