When night falls
Our God is coming, but not in silence; a raging fire is in front of him, a furious storm around him. He calls heaven and earth as witnesses, to see him judge his people. He says, ‘Gather my faithful people to me, those who made a covenant with me by offering a sacrifice.’ The heavens… Read more

God’s witnesses raised to life

The incense of prayer
Another angel, who had a gold incense container, came and stood at the altar. He was given a lot of incense to add to the prayers of all God’s people and to offer it on the gold altar that stands before the throne. The smoke of the burning incense went up with the prayers of… Read more

The glorious communion of saints
After this I looked, and there was an enormous crowd – no one could count all the people! They were from every race, tribe, nation, and language, and they stood in front of the throne and of the Lamb, dressed in white robes and holding palm branches in their hands. They called out in a… Read more
