Making Numbers Count
Adrian Rogers
Revelation 1
Now, and turn to the last book and the first chapter of the last book. Turn to Revelation chapter one, and I want us for a starting place to look at verse twenty.

But listen, first of all in chapters one and one through three roughly speaking, we have seven churches. And in chapters four through seven, you might want to jot this down, there's seven seals. In chapters eight through eleven, ther ...
