Revelation 1:4-8
Alright. Well, let's go to the Lord in prayer as we begin today. Father, we thank you for this nondenominational Bible study and for every person who is here.

And then we said secondly we should study this book because there's a special promise to be received. And if you'll look in Revelation 1:3, the Bible gives a special blessing for those who read and those who hear, those who obey the words of this prophecy. We are claiming as we study not only in ...
