THE VERSE YOU WON’T SEE ON A CHRISTMAS CARD I’ve never seen Revelation 12:5 quoted on a Christmas card, but that doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be. When the apostle John was exiled on the Isle of Patmos, the Lord pulled back the curtain between heaven and earth and invited old John to see things from

FUTURE COLLAPSE OF THE ONE WORLD ECONOMY In Revelation 18, John recorded his vision of the fall of commercial Babylon. Babylon represents humanity’s Satan-inspired attempt to create a one world religion, government, and economy that glorifies man instead of God. Man’s first attempt at creating Babylon took place not long after the Flood, when
