Day 122 - Read 2 Peter 1-3

Day 131 - Read Revelation 15-17

John saw the angels who conquered the beast. They were praising God. He saw seven angels with seven plagues. The angels were given seven bowls full of God’s wrath. Each angel poured the bowls of wrath, one at a time on those who worshiped the beast, and on the earth. This is the final wrath of God. The mountains were destroyed, and God remembered the sin of Babylon. The seventh bowl was poured out and large hailstones fell on the people. They cursed God. An angel showed John another vision. The vision told of Babylon, sexual sin and blasphemy, the power of Rome, and the destruction of earthly kingdoms. The prophesies of God were fulfilled, then the power of God overwhelmed the earthly kingdoms.

Day 130 - Read Revelation 12-14

John had a vision of a pregnant woman and a dragon. The vision depicted the power of God and the desire of Satan to destroy God’s work. The dragon went to war against Michael and his angels. The dragon was cast out of heaven. Satan was overcome. John’s vision in chapter thirteen warned against worshiping a beast who would be a ruler and would possess great power. The mark of the beast (666) would be given on the right hand or the forehead of those who would worship him. No one without the mark would be allowed to buy or sell. The Lamb stood on Mount Zion with 144,000 people who belonged to Him and were His first fruits. The judgement had come, and God reaped His harvest from the earth.

Day 123 - Read 1 John 1-3

John experienced Jesus in the flesh. Life is given through Christ, and He is the light of men. All sin and are in need of the Son to cleanse us of our sins. If we walk in darkness, we do not know Jesus and have not experienced His forgiveness. Jesus is our advocate with the Father. If we know Jesus, we will keep His commandments and walk as He walked. Abide in God and do not be controlled by the desires of the flesh. Do not allow false teachers and antichrists lead you away from truth. The righteous abide in Him, but the one who practices sin is of the devil. Believe in the Son Jesus Christ and love one another as He loved us and gave Himself for us. If we do not love our brother and obey the Lord’s commands, we are not of God.

Day 122 - Read 2 Peter 1-3

Believers should grow in faith and possess qualities of godliness. Peter committed to remind fellow believers of the importance of fulfilling the call on their lives and persevere in faith. Commit yourselves to the Word of God. False teachers and blasphemers will be punished but the righteous will be rewarded. The righteous will endure but the wicked will continue to return to evil. God is patient, not wishing that any should perish. Hold firm to sound doctrine and do not allow false teachers and those who would twist God’s Word to lead you to error. Grow in grace and knowledge of Jesus.

Day 121 - Read 1 Peter 3-5

A wife with a pure heart is a witness to her unbelieving husband. Husbands are to respect their wives knowing that believing wives are heirs of an inheritance from God. Love others and do good, even if you suffer from evil acts of others. Water was used to save Noah and his family just as water was used to symbolize the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Everything we do should be to the glory of God. The sins of our past should be left behind. If you suffer as a Christian, commit yourself to God who is faithful to strengthen you. Mature believers and pastors should protect the church spiritually in a loving and humble manner. The devil seeks to devour you. Resist him and hold firm to Jesus who is able to restore you.
