As I read Revelation and the book The Sign that is helping me better understand Revelation... it has led me to different places in the Bible. Recently to Ezekiel 38 & 39.
Take a minute... read it.
It sounds like the third world war... it sounds like it will be horrifying and terrible. Why would I ever want to see that? But for some reason I would like to be on the sidelines...
Maybe because as God says at least a few times in these chapters... "they shall know that I am the LORD"
Revelation is confusing at best and I have already confessed to using another book to help me with it. But one thing that I have recently started doing... which I really should have learned back when I took that Biblical course from CIU was to read through an entire book and look for the overall themes. It is very apparent that a major theme in Revelation is that God is victorious!
I often get caught up in the me, my life. Reading Ezekiel 38 & 39 really humbles me for some reason.
Starts me thinking on God's big plan... the one where I am a grain of sand. Not that we aren't part of that plan... it takes a lot of grains of sand to make up a beach.
He WILL be victorious... we will get to see His Glory. I'm excited about that.
