After completing two tasks I’ve been neglecting, the guest bedroom window is clean, inside and out, and the dirt and dust from the floor is now in the garbage. I’ve downloaded and listened to week 25 of the Revelation series.

As Pastor delved into the words written by John, I was able to pick up a few nuggets, receive a few reminders, and facepalm my forehead a few times. But the verse that “schooled” me was 21. In order to better understand where I’m coming from I will start in v20.

20 And the rest of mankind, who were not killed by these plagues, did not repent of the works of their hands, so not to worship demons, and the idols of gold and of silver and of brass and of stone and of wood, which can neither see or hear or walk.

21 And they did not repent of their murders nor of their sorceries nor of their sexual immorality nor of their thefts.

In regards to “murders”, naturally Pastor brought up the killing of unborn humans and he reminded us that hate is also considered murder. (1 John 3:15). When he spoke about “sorceries” he referenced the Greek word also being interpreted as “pharmacies” or “pharmaceuticals” and spoke about drug abuse, additions, and witchcraft .…. and I thought of Love Potion #9. When it came to “sexual immortality” he said it would be worse than Sodom and used the word “horrific”. It was here I paused to consider the many interpretations of “sexual immorality”. I considered the changes that have taken place over the years and stopped to pray for those Satan has control of. “Thefts” is pretty much self explanatory.

As I close this app, I encourage you to open the book of Revelation, meditate on each verse, and evaluate where you lie in it’s pages.
