August Events


Abide in Me, and I in you.
As the branch is not able to bear fruit of itself 
unless it abides in the vine,
so neither you, unless you abide in Me.
John 15:4

A Third of the Stars (video) - https://youtu.be/j1STvP2j-KI
On the very first page of the Bible, we are told that the celestial lights were created for signs - and to divide day and night, and for telling time. When we study, and combine these characteristics, we have a greater understanding of how (and when) John saw the dragon sign, and what conditions were present when he saw a third of the stars cast down to the earth. We are forewarned about these events, to guide our understanding to have our expectation now. Maranatha!
