0:00.0	Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks.
0:05.0	Where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.
0:11.0	I'm Tanya Wilmoth.
0:18.0	Now when we read Revelation, we see lots of things happening. We see crazy beast and bowls of wrath and just the imagery is so vivid and sometimes so violent. And as we look at it, we just
