“We can understand that the Fathers of the Church in the East wanted Apocalypse left out of the New Testament. But like Judas among the disciples, it was inevitable that it should be included. The Apocalypse is the feet of clay to the grand Christian image. And down crashes the image, on the weakness of these very feet. There is Jesus--but there is also John the Divine. There is Christian love--and there is Christian envy. The former would "save" the world--the latter will never be satisfied till it has destroyed the world. They are two sides of the same medal.” WorldShouldTwoWantedChristianFatherJesusLeftSidesChurchFeetDivineWeaknessEnvyEastSatisfiedDestroyedFormerInevitableLatterCrashDiscipleTestamentApocalypseClayMedalNew TestamentTwo SidesSave The WorldLeft OutChristian LoveJudas Book:Apocalypse Source: Apocalypse

“We are foolish to expect to serve God without opposition: the more zealous we are, the more sure are we to be assailed... Glory be to God, we know the end of the war. The great dragon shall be cast out and for ever destroyed, while Jesus and they who are with him shall receive the crown. Let us sharpen our swords to-night, and pray the Holy Spirit to nerve our arms for the conflict. Never battle so important, never crown so glorious. Every man to his post, ye warriors of the cross, and may the Lord tread Satan under your feet shortly!” KnowsMenMayImportantWarEndsSpiritNightJesusLordFeetArmsPrayingHolyBattleConflictGloryCrossesCastsFoolishEvery ManDestroyedWarriorPostsSatanHoly SpiritGloriousOppositionDragonsNervesCrownsServing GodZealous Author:Charles Spurgeon
