Bible Reading – Revelation 9
The calamities that come upon man, from whom do they come? Why do they come? We can offer an opinion, and it may be that our opinion is based on principles of God’s word. In this chapter, however, there is no opinion offered at all, unless we consider God’s judgment a matter of opinion! Somehow that does not seem right. In any case, the judgments of the Lord are for a purpose (in this chapter). That purpose is to get man to repent. He will suffer much, but if he repents his suffering will bring him to a point of clear understanding that things of this world … they all just vanish.
