Tweets From Revelation 17

by

In late May, I began 202 days of journaling through the 404 verses of the final book of the Bible, Revelation.  To go along with my personal study and preparation to preach through this book in 2013, I’m trying to tweet something from every verse.  Today I finished chapter 17.  Here’s a compilation of my tweets followed by the reference.
