0:00.0	Welcome to a year in the Bible with Daily Grace. My name is Kristen and my name is Katie,
0:05.7	and we want to spend a few minutes a day with you walking through the New Testament, one chapter at a time.
0:11.5	This year, we will fix our gaze upon Christ so that we may know him, not only with our minds, but with our hearts.
0:17.7	Together, we will learn that who Jesus is changes everything.

1:30.2	will endure. Right off the bat in verse 1, we see what is pictured in this chapter as signs.
1:37.6	This word cues us into the fact that this chapter is symbolic in nature. We see a scene
1:43.7	that might remind us of a Christmas story.
1:46.0	A woman is about to give birth to a son who is going to rule all the nations.
1:51.7	The dragon stands in front of the woman ready to devour this male child.
1:56.4	So too, in Jesus' birth story, King Herod sent out an eagint to have all boys to and under killed
