Looking closer at this massive monster, the Lord gives Job, and the rest of us, a lesson in Leviathan’s anatomy (Job 41:12-24).

“He who testifies to these things says, ‘Surely I am coming quickly.’ Amen. Even so, come, Lord Jesus!” (Rev 22:20). Here is the last prayer in the Bible. Paul wrote, “The time is short” (1 Cor 7:29). Knowing the times we live in, and the certainty of His return, how should we respond? On May […]
