Revelation
1:7 International
Children’s Bible
7 Look, Jesus is coming with the clouds!
Everyone will see him, even those who stabbed him. And all peoples of the earth
will cry loudly because of him. Yes, this will happen! Amen.
Today is May Day, International Labor Day, meaning one-third
of the year has now passed! Today in history:
1786 — Mozart’s The Marriage of Figaro premieres in
Vienna
1884 — First skyscraper completed
1994 — Nelson Mandela inaugurated as South Africa’s first
Black president
1889 — Thomas Edison shows his first motion picture
1953 — Watson & Crick publish the structure of DNA
1852 — Calamity Jane was born
1840 — World’s first postage stamp released in England
A third of 2026 is history. Sylvia and I are nearly finished
editing my second book—which may become my first book!
The proposed first book is our first great adventure:
Africa—with no car, no phone, no kids, and virtually no money.
Our proposed second book—the physical encounter of Abraham
with his great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather Shem. This is a
historical novel, written in Madagascar, that is intended to be as true to
scripture as possible. Our sojourn in Madagascar was our latest adventure with
no car, virtually no phone, no kids, and no money.
I intended to publish the first book last year. When things
slowed down to a virtual stop on that new year’s resolution, we set in motion
the second manuscript this year.
The apparent soon return of Christ is rushing forward with
an attempted establishment of a law that may usher in the biblical time of
trouble. Its proposed date is July 4, 2026—exactly 250 years after the creation
of the “freest” country on earth.
Dear Lord, prepare us for the Great Time of Trouble and
Your much-awaited return in glory.
