Thursday – October 5th – Revelation 13:3 -----
13:3) And I saw one of his heads as if it had been mortally wounded, and his deadly wound was healed. And all the world marveled and followed the beast.
The Daily Walk Bible inspirational thought for today:
CHRIST IS THE MEETING POINT BETWEEN THE TRINITY AND THE SINNER’S SOUL.*
Good Thursday to you! Calling all youth 8th grade and up youth who have not been through a SunRise confirmation class. This year’s class begins on Sunday October 8th at 9:45am and will meet weekly through February 11th. The confirmation celebration will be held on Sunday February 25, 2024. Confirmation includes learning, sharing, serving, fellowship as these young adults grow in their spiritual faith journey. For more information contact our family ministry department or sign-up on the events page through either the SunRise app or website.
In our pick verse today, John continues to describe the horrific monster that has appeared before him. This beast from the sea is best understood as the Antichrist, Satan’s counterpart to the true Christ. John’s description of its body in the previous two verses are representative of the Antichrist’s political power over the world. Of course, in this vision the dragon is Satan. Just as Christ shares God’s throne of eternal glory, so the Antichrist shares Satan’s throne of eternal damnation. By appearing to be mortally wounded and then healed, the Antichrist tries to duplicate Christ’s resurrection. This is a prime example of the deception Satan uses to trick folks into following him and turning away from Jesus.
Blessings

Friday – October 6th – Revelation 13:4
