Revelation 16 Commentary There is no intention to repeat the plagues of Egypt but the parallel is clear. The motive is the same. Can the people repent? Of course, they don’t. You guess repentance would do the trick but who cares! How often have we heard people accuse God of negligence when natural disasters come?ContinueContinue reading “Revelation 16 Commentary”

Revelation 15 Commentary Seven churches, seven seals, seven trumpets – John’s love for sevens. It’s a constant reminder not to look for seven plagues.

Revelation 13 Commentary
Revelation 13 Commentary Let’s keep pace with chapter 12, knowing that the original script didn’t have chapters or verses. These formats are later “management” structures to aid reading and referencing. We closed chapter 12 with the dragon (identified as satan) waging war against the woman’s offspring (the church). 12v17.

Revelations 7 Commentary In Matthew 24, there is a mention that God would shorten the days of trouble for the sake of the elect.
