Amen and amen a good morning and welcome you can be seated so glad you're here today are you glad you're here today

Wow sorry ask those of you online we're really glad you're joining with us and we want to welcome you as well. Before we get started,

though, I want to let you know that our prayer meeting is coming up this Tuesday, 7 p.m. here

in the sanctuary. That is March 4th. If you're able, we would certainly encourage you to come and join with us and pray with us as a church together.

This is the first of our two Sunday morning services which we devote to the teaching on end times by way of our weekly Bible prophecy updates but second

service which especially for those online will be live streamed at 1115 a.m.

Hawaii time and that's the sermon a verse by verse study through the Word of God.

And we are in the last book in the Word of God, the Book of Revelation. And we're nearing

the end of the tribulation in the book of Revelation. And not a moment too soon, I might add.

So today, Lord willing, we're going to finish chapter 17, which is one of two chapters

dealing with, of course, Babylon and its fall.

And today's text is going to be chapter 17, verses 7 through 18 in the sermon that I titled,

God can make it make sense. What we're going to do is look at four ways that God, like with John, who is, I mean astonished and perplexed at what he is

shown concerning Babylon, explains it and makes what he saw makes sense. So we're going to make sense out

of that second service. Also for those of you online watching by way of YouTube

and Facebook, please, when I say we encourage you to go directly to the website, what I mean by that is we encourage you to go directly to the website.

I'm not trying to be snarky, which comes easy, but it's only because if you go there now,

you won't have any interruption

for the entirety of the update.

So that's J.D.Farag.org, that's our website.

Okay.

I need to do something just a little bit different today.
