Good Day, Friends and Readers,
    We are still delving into the great book of Revelation, the last book of the Bible, guided  by one of my favorite authors,  Hal Lindsey.
    But late last night I had a scary accident at home... as I went to bed later, slipped and fell on the bed room floor in a confined, cramped area next to my bed and we had to call the rescue squad to help get me back up on my feet and into my new EZ chair again!   It was a 'small time town unit' but they finally did the job with many men.  The head man named Andrew was joined by a nice EMS woman named, Ann, John, and 3 local police joined in to move my huge body... LOL.  When I finally got on my feet I was OK and got back on my new chair with my Oxygen back on, and shook all their hands and thanked them.  I felt so stupid and embarrassed for bothering them, but it all worked out in the end.   I bruised my lower back/ Lumbar area and past fractured right side ribs, but I will be OK.  Thank you, guys and gals, from the small town of Norway, Michigan,  again, and God bless you ! !
      As most of you all know,  I am used to super efficient, Soldier like orders and victory, so anything less stinks to me... LOL.  That's why I like 'take charge' smart people like President Trump so much, as he knows how to kick ass and get things done!   He is far from perfect and his mouth and Tweets gets him into trouble always, but he is a man of action and sound measures, IMHO.  And I guess that we could also call him a "New Christian."  He doesn't know the Bible all that well, but he proclaims a love for Almighty God, and is Pro- 2nd Amendment and Pro- Life.   


My wife and I are studying from the book of Psalms, and Psalm 14: 1., says,  "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.  They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good."   That is why we should NEVER call another Christian brother or sister a FOOL !  That puts them lower than one without Faith!  And on that same subject,  1st Corinthians 3: 19 says,  "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God,  For it is written,  He taketh the wise in their own craftiness."   Friends, there is much said in the KJV Bible concerning both wisdom and foolishness.  Just be careful whom you call foolish.  


    




Warm Regards,

Have you ever wondered what heaven is like? If you have received Christ's gift of redemption, you have an amazing journey ahead of you. Whether by rapture or death, you're going to heaven! Would you like to know more about that amazing destination? How about a preview?

On this week's Hal Lindsey Presents, we look through an open door into heaven itself. What we will see there is overwhelming and amazing. It will encourage you in every area of your life, and it will leave you in awe.

Our study of Revelation this week takes us deeper into chapter four - deeper into heaven. In verse one, John saw an open door into heaven. Then he was told, "Come up here!" and he was lifted from earth into heaven. He left a record of his visit! He wrote down for us what he saw.

John was not the first person on earth to get a glimpse into heaven. Just before he was stoned to death, God allowed Stephen to see into heaven. Acts 7:55 says, "Being full of the Holy Spirit, he gazed intently into heaven and saw the glory of God."

John, too, saw the glory of God. In heaven, everything centers around God and His throne. John didn't try to describe God's form. Instead, he spoke of God's splendor. They say a great actor has "presence." He walks onto the stage and every eye focuses on him. Well let me tell you, no human actor ever had presence like the Presence we will see in heaven! It will be the presence and glory of God radiating forth in power and majesty!

The word "revelation" is a translation of the Greek word, "apokalupsis." That's where we get the word "apocalypse." These days, people have come to think of an apocalypse as a "huge catastrophe." It really doesn't mean that at all. It means disclosure. It has to do with revealing, opening a curtain or, in this case, a door. The word "revelation" is a great English translation. And it makes a perfect title for a book that reveals so many things, especially about Jesus.

In chapter 4, we see heaven beginning to be revealed. And the dominate feature there is an even more jaw-dropping revelation - a glimpse at the glory and majesty of God Almighty.

Join me for this week's Hal Lindsey Presents. Look for it on Daystar on Sunday at 11PM Eastern Time. Or watch the program online anytime at www.hallindsey.com or www.hischannel.com. If you missed any episodes in this study, you can catch up by visiting www.hallindsey.com/videos/.


God Bless,
