Revelation 4 - 19: 10. Last week we were occupied with the vision given to John in Patmos. Being in the Spirit, he saw Jesus Christ in the midst of seven golden candlesticks, but with all the glorious insignia of the Ancient of days (yet Son of man) examining the churches.

On parts of Philippians 1 - 3. At the time of the Reformation man did not get beyond justification by faith.
