I often pick up a Bible and refer to Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21, and other references while watching the evening news. It's amazing how much God reveals about the future. I've never been one to try and speculate on the #666 or who the beast is, or who the antichrist is but I do find Revelation and Daniel of great interest in telling what the future will bring.Fred Altonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740055638280779519noreply@blogger.com
