Revelation is very clear about how history ends: Jesus returns, rights all the wrongs, and renews all things.

But John is given two conflicting and contradictory images about the direction history go BEFORE Jesus returns:

1. On the one hand, John sees an amazing harvest as the rebellious world TURNS BACK TO GOD!

2. On the other hand, John is shown a terrible scene of judgment as the rebellious world refuses to repent and persists in idolatry and wickedness.

What John doesn’t see is which version of reality it will be:

Will the world turn back to God, or will the world refuse to repent?

What’s the role of the church in God’s plan for history?

Twenty Years on Horseback; or, Itinerating in West Virginia William Marion Weekley http://www.adfreebooks.com - 500+ audiobooks, all ad freeWilliam Weekley was graduate of Asbury Seminary, Wilmore, Kentucky, and a bishop in the Church of the United Brethren in Christ. From the author’s preface, “It was not my purpose, in the preparation of this little volume, to make it an autobiography, but rather a narration of incidents connected with the twenty years of humble service which I tried to render the United Brethren Church among the mountains of West Virginia. These incidents present an all-round view, in outline, of the real life and labors of the itinerant preacher, a third of a century ago, in an isolated section, where the most simple and primitive customs prevailed.” Asbury UMC mrawle2000 Podcast by mrawle2000 My Community's Health Starts With Me My Community's Health Starts With Me This is a podcast dedicated to engaging and educating the community about topics surrounding community health and sexual health care.
