Apply

1. What difficulties do you currently face as you strive to faithfully follow and proclaim the Word of God in daily life? How have God’s promises in Revelation affected your perspective and practice in this pursuit?

2. Prayerfully determine the main biblical truth or principle that God revealed to you during your study. A few questions to ask are: Is there a promise for me to claim? Is there a truth for me to believe? Is there a command for me to obey?

3. Memorize: Revelation 11.17 “We give you thanks, Lord God, the All-Powerful, the one who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and begun to reign.”
