With the two related passages below from the Little Scroll, otherwise known as the Book of Revelation or the Revelation of John, I am splitting the world in two, possibly dividing me and you. This I must do as what is written must happen; one will be “taken and the other left.” (...
Well those verses from Psalm 29 have not left me. They talk about “the voice of the Lord splitting cedars” – that was evident in the destruction in Parkersburg. As I read further, I was surrounded by incredible peace when I read, “the Lord is enthroned above the floods.” Ps 29:1...
