I had an online chat with a KJV-Only guy yesterday, and it actually ended up being quite civil.  I'm assuming most people who read this blog are not KJV-Only folks, and in fact, some may not even know there are people for whom the King James Bible as the only Word of God is a matter of doctrine.  But they're out there, and they're usually quite outspoken.  The guy I chatted with yesterday happens to be from a church in central Illinois that is actually about an hour away from my hometown.

Revelation 12:1-2 (NIV)

I just ended chapter eleven of Revelation with my last post, and to be honest I did not feel like I did a very good job of it. For example: If someone asks you a question, stick with the most direct answer. There in my problem lies.

Revelation 11:19 ESV Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and the ark of his covenant was seen within his temple. There were flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake, and heavy hail.

Revelation 11:16,17

My previous post has seen the two-witnesses removed from the earth, brought on a great earthquake, and left everyone watching in fear.

Revelation 11:16 ESV And the twenty-four elders who sit on their thrones before God fell on their faces and worshiped God,

Who decided that they were finished? Revelation 11: 7,8

Of the two witnesses.

Revelation 11:5-6 LITV

My days off are split but I am learning to live with it. I suppose that means no overnight trips into the desert to view the night sky, something I have not seen in over thirty years. But it would be good to have some recovery time for the feet. Oh well. I try to get as many things done in my one as possible, like laundry and early morning bible study. It is about the only day that I have time to sit at the keyboard and input based upon my previous thoughts I have written in my notepad.
