  4. Obviously, the Day of the LORD looks frightening according to the words of Zephaniah the prophet. The question is: “For whom?”

  10. From mountain to mountain, from meal to meal the LORD God points us to His banquet, already prepared; the marriage feast of the Lamb in His Kingdom which shall have no end!
  11. God desires that all men might be saved. The problem, the stumbling block, does not lie with God. The problem is one of man’s heart and spirit.
