UNDER THE WINGS OF THE ALMIGHTY
Sermons For Pentecost (Last Third) Cycle A First Lesson Texts
The book of Revelation is a powerful and beautiful book designed to answer one question. The people of the early church were suffering under persecution and many were being martyred. They looked for the second coming of Christ as the grand and glorious answer to their pain. They asked the question, "How long will it be before Christ returns? How long will it be before the victory is final and complete?" The book of Revelation gives a clear and simple answer: "Behold, I am coming soon (Revelation 22:12)."
