seal of God on their foreheads on the earth at this time. How might you pray now for them? How will this change how you witness to
others today?
What do you learn about God because the four angels bound
at the river Euphrates “had been kept ready for this very hour and day and
month and year”? In what way will this
knowledge affect how you serve Him?
How does knowing that some people cannot be persuaded to
repent affect the way you pray to, live for and serve Jesus?
