How firm of foundation, ye saints of the Lord is laid for your faith in his excellent word.

Just days before Jesus returned to heaven, he gathered his disciples on the Mount of Olives,

overlooking the old city of Jerusalem, and taught about things to come.

Frankly, it shocked the disciples, just as it does us.

In what is often called the Olivet discourse, Jesus explained a prophecy of what will occur during

the Great Tribulation, and which was first talked about

more than 500 years earlier by the Prophet Daniel. Jesus called it the abomination of desolation.

But what does it mean? Well, in this study of Revelation chapter 13, our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon

McGee, shed some light on it. And by the way, this chapter focuses on two

beasts who are antichrist. We've already been introduced to the beast that will come from the sea,

but now we're going to look at the second beast who will come from the earth. As the Bible bus

continues through Revelation, the last book in our five-year journey through the whole word of God,

don't think that it's coming to an end.

Because on April 3rd, we're going to start all over again with Dr. McGee's prelude to Genesis that he called Guidelines for Understanding Scripture.

Now, this will launch our 12th, five-year journey through the whole Word of God.

Isn't that amazing?

How many of those trips have you been on?

Is it one, two, five? Well, you know we'd love to know why you keep coming back. Is it because

God's word gives you hope? Because it points you to Jesus, because it comforts you, or maybe

challenges you. Well, tell us, won't you? You can leave your note in the feedback section of our app.
