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

No one dreamed that this great city would be judged. Yet by the time the sun went down, Babylon was nothing but smoldering ruins. When the news goes out, the world is stunned, and then begins the whale. The whole world will howl when Babylon goes down. Wow, that's an ominous warning from the

I think you'll appreciate what Dr. McGee has to say.

Before we get started, though, I want to share a couple of letters from our fellow passengers on

Revelation and we're close to that again. I began on my radio as I traveled to the county jail

where I taught inmates about Jesus. Later I found myself studying daily along with Dr. McGee on my computer.

I love that man. I find the detailed study has brought me closer to Jesus than I've
