Revelation‬ ‭1:3‬ ‭(NKJV‬‬)“Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.” This is from our weekly group study of the Book of Revelation. This is not a complete and fully exhaustive study, but may be a little deeper than you’ve been so far. I pray you see some things that will stir you to go dig into this wonderful book of the Bible!

Jesus is wanting to restore fellowship and family within His Body! This is foundational and key to properly grow and mature in the Kingdom!

Amen.” The Holy Spirit has been highlighting and stirring the first ministry that all disciples of Christ are called to. That is the priestly ministry of ministering to the Lord.

The Strong’s Concordance defines it like this:- to cut straight, to cut straight ways A to proceed on straight paths, hold a straight course, equiv. to doing right- to make straight and smooth, to handle aright, to teach the truth directly and correctlySo why did the KJV translators choose the phrase “rightly dividing” instead of “rightly...
