Oops!<br />Anyway in 7 he talks about the seal on the foreheads of the servants of God and the great multitude from every nation that sing praises to God, the ones who came through the great tribulation. Do you think the Christians being persecuted in John's time were comforted to hear about God marking His servants who had been through tribulation? His servants who would live through the terrible things that were described in 8 & 9. I think these words would give them courage, hope and strength to live through their trials. The part about the multitude in the white robes makes me think about Women of Faith. I went several years ago to WoF at Phillips Arena and the place was packed with Christian women of all ages singing praises to God, each with their own trials. I'm sure heaven will be even bigger and betterMarynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6926245050623680380.post-73460486515411520122011-08-30T13:09:47.253-04:002011-08-30T13:09:47.253-04:00This scripture was hard to read for me... reading ...This scripture was hard to read for me... reading all the scary things makes me sad. At the end of chapter nine the scripture reads that after 1/3 of people were killed, the others (who I'm guessing had endured the previous woes), still didn't repent. They still had a chance, but didn't. Were they stubborn or just blind to what was going on (or why it was happening). Certainly I'm not surrounded by anything so horrible in my life as mass death and 5 months of scorpion-like bites to torture me, but sometimes I am just as blind to God in my life. <br /><br />Today, at lunch, Ansley kept wanting to pray and list thing we were thankful for... but it made me realize that it's easy for me to just say... ok, that's enough! But wow, there really is so much I usually let whirl by and blindly ignore instead of using it as worship to God. May I worship like the angels in heaven... Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God!!! Amen!Lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00449407442914548075noreply@blogger.com
