THE FIRST FOUR SEALS OF REVELATION 6 The most bizarre nonsense is peddled concerning the book of Revelation but this book is God telling his people that he is in complete control of all things as we see them in the age in which we live. As our Lord Jesus Christ came preaching the Kingdom […]
THE BOOK ON THE HAND OF GOD – Rev 5:1 In (rather, on) the right hand of the eternal God, John saw a book, a book written within and without, bound shut, and sealed with seven seals (vv. 1- 4). This book is the book of God’s eternal decrees. It represents God’s eternal plan and purpose […]
Come and eat! (Horatius Bonar, “The Bread of Immortality”) “I am the bread of life.” John 6:48 “I am the living bread.” John 6:51 All food is for the sustaining of life.
