Happy 4th of July weekend everyone! I'm enjoying lovely and beautiful New Jersey/New York with my honey! I hope you all have a wonderful one with family and friends as well.
Well, we have two more sessions left in this study and I'm so very proud of all of you for going through this journey. Through the ups, downs and different scenery of life as we know it.
We finished Revelation 12 and worked our way into chapter 13 this past session. Focusing on the first and second beasts and looking at the anti christ. One of the things that struck me is that Satan is such a copier. Deceitful copier that is! Mimicking what God has done and is doing to deceive as many as possible. It reminds me of Timothy challenging us to study the word of God so that we can rightly divide it. Rightly dividing which a reference to exactness demanded by trades like carpentry, masonry, meaning cutting it straight. So, that we understand the exactness of what God's word teaches.
Studying Matthew 24:3-31 this week has also challanged me to know God's word as it states in Matthew 1 - Take heed that no one deceives you. It will sound good, almost close, however there's a HUGE difference in sounding good and almost being close to what the "exactness" of truth requires.
Some other scriptures you might want to take a peek at this week reflecting the end of days/times are 2 Tim 3:1 - 4:8, 1 Thess 4:13 - 5:11, 2 Pet 2:1-22, 2 Thess. 2:1-16.
Awesome scriptures to look and evaluate how to implement them into your life getting ready for the glorious appearing of our Lord! A great way to look these up is www.blueletterbible.org
