Today I read 1 Corinthians 2:
We rely on the Spirit of God working within us to reveal the wisdom of God, not on persuasive words of mankind. God’s wisdom is powerful, and if everyone had it, Jesus would not have been sentenced to die on the cross. Some things cannot be understood or discerned, except through the Spirit.
I listened to (Week 16, Day 78) of the Immerse reading plan together with other members of my local church.
A woman was about to give birth. A red dragon prepared to eat the baby. The baby was born and went to be with God near His throne. The woman was cared for in the wilderness for 1,260 days. There was war in Heaven and the dragon was thrown down to the earth. The dragon then pursued the woman, but she was kept safe. Then he declared war on her children, and took a stand by the sea shore.
A beast came up out of the sea, and was given the dragon’s authority and power. People worshiped the dragon and the beast. The beast had blasphemous names, and spoke blasphemies. Then there was a second beast who made an idol that was given the power to speak. It commanded everyone, rich and poor alike, to worship it or to be put to death. All to chose to worship the idol had to put a mark put on their hand or their forehead, or they would not be allowed to buy or sell anything.
The lamb stood on Mt Zion, with the 144,000 people who stayed faithful to Jesus and angles declared what was about to happen. Everyone was warned not to accept the mark of the beast or to worship his idol, or the wrath of God would fall on them. Then an angel harvested the whole earth, then another angel harvested the sinners and sent them into God’s wrath.
The temple doors in Heaven were opened and seven angels were getting ready to put out the last seven bowls of God’s wrath. The people who were victorious over the beast were holding harps and singing praises to God, while standing on a sea of glass mixed with fire. No One was allowed into the temple until the seven bowls were poured out.
The bowls began to be poured out, bringing malignant sores, polluted the sea, turning the fresh water sources into blood, and made the sun scorch people, but people did not repent. They cursed God instead. More bowls were poured out which dried up the Euphrates river, allowing armies to easily cross. Three demonic spirits influenced the kings of the Earth to declare war against the Lord at a place called Armageddon. A shout came from Heaven saying, “it is finished” followed by thunder lightning and a record breaking earthquake that leveled all of the cities, then islands disappeared, and mountains were leveled. Seventy-five pound hailstones fell on people and they cursed God because of the plague and the terrible hailstorm.
