"God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, in whom dwelleth wisdom and knowledge, flood Thou our souls with understanding from above! Open now our eyes that we may behold the depths of truth that can be known only by the quickening of Thy Spirit! Remove the dark veil from our hearts, the veil of natural understanding and religious tradition cast over our minds by the carnal church systems of men, that light divine may shine upon us! Grant to our spirits the breath of inspiration that we may know as Thou knowest, and see as Thou seest! Amen! The book of Revelation was not sent to Israel nor to the nations. It was sent to the church, the called out elect of God. The only "end" referred to in this book is JESUS! "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last" (Rev. 22:13). The Revelation is not about "the end times;" it is about a NEW DAY, it is the REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST!"

This is funny, because my Womens Bible Study is studying the book of revelation right now. I didn’t need to read anybody else’s commentary on it, I’ve only allowed God, and the women that are studying the word with me to learn more about what the book of revelation is referring to.
Sounds great, where are you in your study?
We just finished chapter 8 last week and we’re moving into chapter 9. We were just studying the trumpets. I think the leader of our group refers to chapter 9 as welcome to the world of demons. Thursday is our regular meeting day, I’ll get back to you and tell you what we learned. God bless you and have a great night.
