Our Faith and Obedience in our God

Then I said to you, "Do not be terrified; do not be afraid of them. The LORD your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes." — Deuteronomy 1:29-30

Moses began his farewell message to Israel with a reminder of their parents' refusal to obey God's word to enter the Promised Land. With his death, these Israelites will have to follow a leader other than Moses for the first time in their lives. Moses wants them to know that their real Leader hasn't changed. God had done mighty things for them in Moses' day. 

Now God will do mighty things in their day through Joshua. They will have more than second hand deliverance stories to tell their grandchildren. They will be eyewitnesses of God's power and faithfulness. But they would have to obey this same command their parents ignored and own a faith that their ancestors did not have!

Mysteries of God’s Word

. Babylon the Great – Revelation 17:5

The name written on her forehead was a mystery: 

  Babylon the great 

 the mother of prostitutes 

 and of the abominations of the earth.

. The woman and the Beast – Revelation 17:7

Then the angel said to me: “Why are you astonished? I will explain to you the mystery  of the woman and of the beast she rides, which has the seven heads and ten horns.
