This week, we concluded our series, "Songs of Revelation." In the series, we took a look at the revelation of John, not by trying to interpret or predict the end times, but instead looking at how all of creation will worship God for all of eternity and how we can apply those practices to our lives.
Each week, we not only looked at the songs, but we also looked at the events that were taking place. We did our best to look at those events as they were told, but I know there are probably still questions out there. I want you to know that if you have questions, you are not alone. The book of Revelation has been greatly debated since it was written.
Following are some helpful links if you are interested in learning more about the book of Revelation and some of the common beliefs followers have Jesus have and have had for hundreds of years.

God bless you as you further your studies into the book of Revelation and the many questions and topics it puts before you. My prayer for you is simple:
Don't lose sight of our purpose now - To love God and love others.
Don't lose sight of our purpose now and in eternity - To worship God and give Him all glory and praise.
And lastly, don't live in fear and what isn't known, instead live in earnest preperation so that you may be presented before God as holy, faultless, and without blame (Col. 1:22)
