December 25

Merry, Merry Christmas!

7 more days, we will be finished. Although you may be busy in your revelries, stay in the Word!

NT -- Revelation 16:1-21
These 7 plagues closely mirror the plagues that God sent to Egypt.
Plague 1 -- sores
Plague 2 -- dead oceans
Plague 3 -- rivers and streams of blood
Plague 4 -- seared by the sun
Plague 5 -- darkness covering the sun'
Plague 6 -- water drying up
Plague 7 -- lightning, thunder, earthquakes, hail

And still the people cursed God because the plagues were so terrible. The correct response, Grasshopper, is to repent. I have to assume that if they had repented, God would have saved them.
But, same as the Egyptians, while they might give lip service to letting the children of Israel go, true repentance does not happen.

And the place of Armageddon is mentioned -- these are the plains of Meddigo, an actual place in Israel. It is the crossroads of the East/West travels through Palestine and has been a place of eternal conflict.

Much love, grace and peace to each of you.
