Father God, you are Jehovah Hashopet, God our Judge. You are holy, righteous and just. You announce the destruction of Babylon, the satanic system, his system of religion, his system of commerce. They fall in a single hour, never to see such great wealth again. Musicians won’t play, craftsmen won’t create, millers won’t grind flour, … Read more
LORD God, you are my God. With all the descriptions of Revelation 17–the harlot, the mountains, the seven kings, and the beast who is given authority for a short while to make war on the Lamb–there pops out one bright phrase of your promised hope. “They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb … Read more
