“Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to blow them. The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up.”‭‭Revelation‬ ‭8:6-7‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All, 
This stands out because John says, “And a third of the earth was burned up.” A third of the earth is disastrous. I can’t imagine the destruction that will happen during the time of Revelation. The Bible seems to indicate that people who trust Christ will be raptured up before this time so they will not live through Revelation. The world seems to be growing more chaotic everyday and people believing that “down is up and up is down”. Len Sykes likes to say, “the world is not falling apart, it’s falling into place.” Please pray that we and our friends have a true relationship with Jesus Christ today. Please pray for the men considering CLC. 
If you would like to read along with me as we finish the New Testament, today’s reading is Revelation 8. We will continue reading the rest of the NT and then start at the beginning after Revelation.
