The Ultimate Sabbath Rest of Revelation
It doesn’t take long in the Book of Revelation to figure out what John’s favorite number is. The first time he uses the number 7 is in Revelation 1:4 and he will go on to mention it over 50 more times before the book ends. One cannot read his book without noticing this and many…
