Revelation 9:13-21
During times of disaster we are prone to believe that the disaster is proof that God does not care. During the time of the Tribulation period the world will suffer six major plagues. The reason for the plagues isn’t that God is finished with man, but rather He is longing for man to turn. Join us as we look at God’s final attempt to bring men to repentance.
