Revelation 11:1-14
February 16, 2003
Now would you please take God's Word and join me in book of Revelation. Here is a book that God has promised a special blessing for those who read it, those who hear it, and those who live according to it's principles.

Chapter 4 begins with the rapture of the church, that event when all of the saints, all of the saved will be caught up in the air in the clouds to be forever with the Lord.

You see, God is not willing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance, and that includes you!
God will allow things to come your way in order to get your attention! The loss of a job, a financial reversal, a health condition, the death of a fri ...
