The Bible in 90 Days plan allows for two days of being a total slacker. I took more than two of those, but then caught up again. So the schedule actually calls for 88 days of reading. That's why the entries are numbered one through eighty-eight. I took a few more days than that, but I finished today, the 91st day from whence I began. 

Revelation 18 to the end of Revelation

It’s hard not to read the lament for Babylon and be reminded of America at her worst. May it never be.

19:8 gives us a rare bit of interpretation in all of the metaphorical jungle.

The white rider on the white horse is Jesus. Earlier I was wondering about all of the names of Jesus. When he appears here, apparently he has yet another name written on himself that no one knows. That’s intriguing.

Who or what is Gog and Magog. Even the context doesn’t really give a clue as to who they are or what they do, other than the fact that they appear in the middle of a sentence about Satan deceiving the whole earth.

Satan, the beast, and the prophet. Which one is the anti-Christ? And this is the unholy Trinity.

In chapter twenty-two, beside the river of life, there appears on each side “the tree of life.” Is this the same tree, literally or figuratively, as the one of the same name that is in the Garden of Eden? Talk about full circle.

What a perfect ending! There is some danger, for an anthology like the Bible, of coming to too abrupt an ending. It could have just simply ended with one of the letters of John perhaps. That may not have felt as satisfying. But this feels like a truly epic ending to a truly epic book. It draws everything to a conclusion and feels like a very satisfying ending, giving the book as a whole a certain unity and a complete narrative arc.

And the final chapters are another passage that makes me want to stand in my chair. “Yes, I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
