Morning,
The reading in Revelation was very good. One thing in particular that stood out to me, and I don’t think I have heard you put it quite like this, was at the beginning of chapter 6 when the seven seals are opened. You started off by telling us that until the Lamb (Jesus) opened these seals, they were hidden to everyone but God. And the seals contained the things that are going to happen because the Lamb overcame the world. He created them for us and made a new future for us. That is very good! We would have had a different future if Jesus had not gone through what he did and overcame. Like you said last night, when we receive the holy Ghost, we get a new past and also a new future – all because of Jesus.
Also, I loved seeing daddy fall down in the Spirit just like the elders did that we had just read about. I love when we get an example of what Jesus is talking about.
Thanks!
Amy

Yes, Amy, the future revealed in the seven seals was a future that was created for the saints because of Jesus. If he had not successfully paid the price or man’s sin, that future would not have been; we would have faced a different, and much worse one. Without the sacrifice of Christ, we all would have been lost.
