Reaching the end

Well, it really is an incredible feeling to look back on the journey and realize that I completed it. It shouldn't be such a big deal that I finished a book, but it is a rather important book and I am glad that I documented some of the journey here.

Now I will be moving on to a devotional book where you read through the Bible in one year. I will continue to post here- I expect the reading to be a bit more intense. We'll see if I can keep up!

Revelation II- the sequel

I read Revelation 21 today and it talked about the new city or world for those whose names are written in the book of life will live.
The same sort of 'measurement' is done as for the temple in Ezekiel (i think it was). This seems to be a thing that God does. He measures out for us in Earthly standards heavenly things. He knows we can't really comprehend heavenly things too well and so he puts things in terms that we can understand. I don't think he really cares how many cubits things are. But maybe it's important, who knows?
Also he talks about the gems in the walls.
He makes the city out of things that are precious to us.
Or are these gems precious to us because they are precious to him?

The book of Revelation seems to have more questions than answers, but that's a lot like life so it's not so bad.

Revelation

I am now working my way through Revelation and think that this 'project' will be done by the end of the year. It has taken me about 3 years to read through the Bible one chapter at a time. I may be ambitious but I am looking at trying to read through the whole Bible in one year in 2011. I bought a Bible in a year devotional book. We'll see how it goes!

The book of Revelation is a particularly tricky one. I read it and try to see application to my life today, which is difficult. What I see is that God is a great and creative God!
