Hey everyone, before we get started today, I want to let you know the Bible in a year has brought the Word of God to so many people. As you know, you're part of this community, changing lives and in so many incredible ways. We're humbled to play this role in God's plan and consider it our ongoing mission to keep bringing the Word of God to as many people as possible. So what I'm saying is the end of this year is not going to be the end of Bible in a year. So far, Ascension has been able to add the podcast to YouTube.

You might have found it that way. Maybe you're watching right now on YouTube. And also, we're working on translating it into different languages so you could have the Bible in a year in other languages than English. But of course, this takes a significant investment to bring projects like these,

you know, free of cost to our listening communities. And we want to keep them free of cost to all

those people who participate because we want to get the Word of God out there. And because of that,

we have to rely on generous contributions from listeners like you to help defray these costs

and to enable us to continually provide new audiences with this life-changing content.

I'm my name is Father Mike Schmidt, and you're listening to the Bible in a year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of scripture. The Bible in a year podcast is brought to you by Ascension. Using the Great Adventure Bible timeline, we'll read all the way from Genesis to Revelation. That's where we are, discovering how the story of salvation unfold and how we fit into that story today. It is a day 360. That sounds like a good number, kind of very circular. And we are reading from Revelation, chapters 4, 5, 6, and 7. Okay. And as well as the book of Titus, a letter of Paul Titus, chapters 1, 2, and 3. Might be a big day today. You probably already know that. It's also Proverbs chapter 31 versus 10 to 15. As always, the Bible translation I'm reading from is the revised standard version, second Catholic edition. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension. If you want to download your own Bible in your reading plan for these last few days, you can visit ascensionpress.com slash Bible in a year. You can also subscribe to this podcast by clicking on subscribe and receiving daily episodes and daily updates. You know that. It's Day 360. We're reading Revelations 4, 5, 6, and 7, Titus 1, 2, and 3, Proverbs chapter 31, verses 10 through 15.

The Revelation to John, chapter 4.

The heavenly worship.

After this, I looked, and behold, in heaven, an open door.

And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said,

Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.

At once I was in the spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne.

And he who sat there appeared like Jasper and Carnalian, and round the throne was a rainbow that looked like an emerald.

Round the throne were 24 thrones, and seated on the thrones were 24 elders clothed in white garments with golden crowns upon their heads.

From the throne issued flashes of lightning, and voices and peals of thunder, and before the throne burned seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God. And before the throne there is, as it were, a sea of glass, like crystal. And round the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes and front and behind. The first living creature like a lion. The second living creature like an ox, the third living creature with the face of a man,

and the fourth living creature like a flying eagle. And the four living creatures, each of them with

six wings, are full of eyes all round and within, and day and night, they never cease to sing,

Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come. And whenever the living creatures
