We focused our thoughts on Revelation 13: 1-10 - The Beast of the Sea. The sea is often in the Old Testament a symbol of the abyss or bottomless pit. So from the sea came this beast at the command of the dragon, Satan. Ironically, even though the beast is extremely repulsive and scheming, people seem to desire its ways. The beast uses deception that amazes the people who are drawn to be its followers. Satan always seeks to wipe out the church, but we are assured, God is still on the throne and He will remember His own.
This passage was written specifically to the seven churches facing persecution. It also applies to us today.
Following the Bible class we went to the Holiness meeting at the main hall. The message was based on Psalm 33. Major Pascoe commented on this psalm with three sub headings
1. A Song from God's word (4-5)
2 A Song from God's works ( 6-9)
3 A new song from our personal walk with the Lord (18)
We thank God for the freedom of worship in our country. We don't take this for granted. Let us continue to pray for our leaders that they be given wisdom to run our country.
