It isn’t likely that any of us who are reading these verses will want to make the following profession – “Well, I understand every word and every thought in this section!” This is heavy reading isn’t it? The symbolism is beyond many of us. Well, don’t fret too much! The emphasis we want to particularly absorb from this lesson is this – Ultimately God’s will prevails over all evil. Even though there are many mysteries in the Book of Revelation that we feel we do not really understand very well, we must read verse 7 and then we will be encouraged. V. 7 – God’s mysterious plans will ultimately be fulfilled. Our God is in charge! V. 13 – Keep in mind that biblically, the word ‘prophesy’ means two things: 1. It is used to refer to the prediction of future events/happenings. 2. However, most often in the Bible, (especially in the New Testament) it refers to the preaching of the Word of the Lord.

Thank you Pastor Pardun for all that you have done on the blog this year. Thank you for your insights and for getting me to look at scripture verse by verse instead of jumping over some because I wasn't patient enough.
Thank you for this insight into "prophesy". ChriS
