This will be a daily posting of my trip through the Bible. I will be reading the NET aloud. Each day I will introduce the passage with a brief commentary. But mostly I will simply be reading the Word of God for you. I'd love to hear how God is using this podcast to help you or answer any questions you may have. You can contact me on twitter: @nemoyatpeace or email me at DevotedToScripture@gmail.com.

    #364 Closing Reflections

    Hi, this is Danny Whittaker with “Devoted to Scripture”. We have journeyed through the Bible together over the past year..., and, now that our journey is complete, I want to share with you some of the things that I've learned and the challenges that God has helped me to overcome. I don’t know where you are Spiritually, but, you have just listened to the entire Bible (and if you were keeping up, you did it in a year!)  Ask God to reveal to you how he wants you to spend your next year.  What is the next road in your journey?  Don’t let this accomplishment be a trophy that gathers dust, instead, let our journey through God’s holy word be a stepping block to help you reach something greater.  Spend time reflecting on the year that just passed and then reflecting on the year to come.  God has a great plan for you! As you go, please let me know you’ve made it this far!  It means SO much to me when I hear from someone who has been listening.  How has my reading impacted you?  What do you feel like God is calling you to next?  How can I pray for you?  Email me at devotedtoScripture@gmail.com. Lord Jesus, thank you so much for leading me to do this podcast this year.  Thank you even more for giving me the strength to accomplish it.  Thank you for the people who have listened.  Thank you for the way you have helped me to grow.  Thank you that you have a plan for each of us next year and a plan for how you are preparing us to be used into the future.  Help us to seek you daily!  Amen! To all of you who have taken this journey with me, you are an immense blessing:  Be faithful followers of Jesus.  Be transformed by his Word.  Be a light unto the world.  Be bold and courageous.  And, as my brothers and sisters in Christ...my prayer for you is simply this: Be devoted to Scripture!

Wow!  Today, we finish our incredible journey through the Bible. The Bible ends with John describing the final judgement of Satan and his followers.  They will be cast into the lake of fire to be tormented forever.  But, those who have persevered through trials and devoted themselves to Christ will reign with him forever.  God will return and will wipe away every tear, he will remove all pain and suffering and disease and hardship and sickness.  We will live in a great city with God as our source of light.  There will be no more need of a temple, because God will dwell with us!

Thank you for joining me on this journey this year!  You’ve made it through the Bible, congratulations!  But, this is just the beginning, what will you do next?  How will you share the things you have learned and the ways that God has worked in your life?  How are you going to join God in the story of Salvation?  Come back tomorrow for one more broadcast as I share some of the ways that God has been working in my life this year.  Be devoted to Scripture! Key verses: Revelation 20:10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet are too, and they will be tormented there day and night forever and ever.   Revelation 21:4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will not exist any more – or mourning, or crying, or pain, for the former things have ceased to exist.”   Revelation 22:20 The one who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon!” Amen! Come, Lord Jesus!   All Scriptures are from the NET.

    #362 Revelation 15-19

    Day 362 of the podcast, reading Revelation 15-19 NET, read along at: https://netbible.org/bible/Revelation+15-19/ This is day 362 of our journey. Today, John tells us of the final seven plagues that fulfill the wrath of God on the earth.  Seven angels pour out seven bowls of wrath bringing destruction and devastation on all who refuse to bow to Christ.  After this, John is told of the destruction of Babylon, the great city of the world that causes all men to turn away from God.  Then, the celebration begins, the saints and angels in heaven rejoice at the greatness of God and the resurrected Christ as he prepares to go to war in the final battle to bring his bride to himself. Join me in Revelation 15-19 and rejoice in the Salvation of our God and of his Christ! Key verses: Revelation 15:7 Then one of the four living creatures gave the seven angels seven golden bowls filled with the wrath of God who lives forever and ever,   Revelation 16:7 Then I heard the altar reply, “Yes, Lord God, the All-Powerful, your judgments are true and just!”   Revelation 17:1 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke to me. “Come,” he said, “I will show you the condemnation and punishment of the great prostitute who sits on many waters,   Revelation 18:5 because her sins have piled up all the way to heaven and God has remembered her crimes.   Revelation 19:7 Let us rejoice and exult and give him glory, because the wedding celebration of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.   All Scriptures are from the NET.

    #361 Revelation 10-14

    Day 361 of the podcast, reading Revelation 10-14 NET, read along at: https://netbible.org/bible/Revelation+10-14/ This is day 361 of our journey. We continue to read John's visions from the island of Patmos.  Today we will read about a scroll that is bitter; two witnesses; the seventh trumpet and the praise that follows it; a pregnant woman and a dragon; Satan being cast down from heaven; two beasts ruling the earth; 144,000 witnesses praising God; and three angels with messages for the world.  These visions have been the source of many discussions and speculations about what the end of the world will look like but, until the day of the Lord occurs, no one will know precisely how to interpret all the symbols and signs given here.  As I read this, I am overwhelmed with a feeling of awe at the majesty of our God who has all things in his hands.  He will punish those that refuse to follow him and he will comfort those who are persecuted for his name.  In the end, he will reign on high over all people! Join me in Revelation 10-14 and recognize the unsurpassable power of our great God! Key verses: Revelation 10:7 But in the days when the seventh angel is about to blow his trumpet, the mystery of God is completed, just as he has proclaimed to his servants the prophets.”   Revelation 11:15 Then the seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven saying:“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever.”   Revelation 12:9 So that huge dragon – the ancient serpent, the one called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world – was thrown down to the earth, and his angels along with him.   Revelation 13:18 This calls for wisdom: Let the one who has insight calculate the beast’s number, for it is man’s number, and his number is 666. Revelation 14:7 He declared in a loud voice: “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has arrived, and worship the one who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water!”   All Scriptures are from the NET.

    #360 Revelation 5-9

    Day 360 of the podcast, reading Revelation 5-9 NET, read along at: https://netbible.org/bible/Revelation+5-9/ This is day 360 of our journey. Today's reading begins to reveal the judgements that will be enacted upon the earth in the end times.  First, John sees a scroll that is sealed with seven seals that only the Lamb who has been slain is worthy to open.  The lamb took the scroll and the heavenly hosts worshiped him over and over, giving him all honor, glory, and praise.  When the lamb opened each seal, a different plague appeared: war, famine, disease, and disasters.  When he came to the seventh seal, there was 30 minutes of silence, then seven angels with seven trumpets appeared and, as each blew his trumpet, even greater plagues came upon the earth to enact judgment on the people for their unwillingness to follow the Lamb of God. Join me in Revelation 5-9 and worship the Lamb who was slain and is worthy of all honor and praise! Key verses: Revelation 5:12 all of whom were singing in a loud voice:“Worthy is the lamb who was killed to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and praise!”   Revelation 6:1 I looked on when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying with a thunderous voice, “Come!” Revelation 7:4 Now I heard the number of those who were marked with the seal, one hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed from all the tribes of the people of Israel:   Revelation 8:1 Now when the Lamb opened the seventh seal there was silence in heaven for about half an hour.   Revelation 9:12 The first woe has passed, but two woes are still coming after these things!   All Scriptures are from the NET.

    #359 Revelation 1-4

    Day 359 of the podcast, reading Revelation 1-4 NET, read along at: https://netbible.org/bible/Revelation+1-4/ This is day 359 of our journey. Today we begin the last book of the Bible!  The book of Revelation was written by a Christian elder named John while he was living in exile on the island of Patmos.  He wrote to "the seven churches" as a warning to continue to remain faithful in the face of the hardship that would come at the hand of the Romans and the world at large.  The book is classified as apocalyptic literature, with a visitor from heaven revealing the future and secrets of the unseen world through vivid symbols and imagery.  These symbols are hard to understand, but become more clear when understood in the context of the first-century Christian and when compared to other Biblical imagery. The book begins with seven messages to the seven churches. John writes of specific issues in those churches and their need to remain faithful to the end, giving each church a promise of what they will receive if they remain faithful.  Today's reading ends in the throne room of God where we are taken up to witness 24 elders and 4 living creatures surround him to proclaim the holiness and glory of Christ! Join me in Revelation 1-4 and praise the Saviour of the world! Key verses: Revelation 1:8  “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God – the one who is, and who was, and who is still to come – the All-Powerful!   Revelation 2:29 The one who has an ear had better hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’   Revelation 3:5 The one who conquers will be dressed like them in white clothing, and I will never erase his name from the book of life, but will declare his name before my Father and before his angels.   Revelation 4:11  “You are worthy, our Lord and God,to receive glory and honor and power,since you created all things,and because of your will they existed and were created!”   All Scriptures are from the NET.

    #358 Jude 1

    Day 358 of the podcast, reading Jude 1 NET, read along at: https://netbible.org/bible/Jude+1/ This is day 358 of our journey. Today we focus in on the book of Jude.  Jude was one of Jesus' half-brothers (along with James), he was a leader in the early church and wrote this letter to Jewish Christians.  He writes to combat false teachers who were threatening the faith that was entrusted to God's holy people.  These men reject authority on the basis of "spiritual dreams".  But, they are not following the Spirit, rather they are following mere natural instincts.  Believers must resist such false teachings and cleanse their community by rejecting them. Jude closes with a beautiful benediction giving all glory and majesty to the Savior that presents us spotless before the throne of God. Join me in Jude 1 and reject false teachings as you worship the true Savior! Key verses: Jude 1:24-25 Now to the one who is able to keep you from falling, and to cause you to stand, rejoicing, without blemish before his glorious presence,  25 to the only God our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority, before all time, and now, and for all eternity. Amen.   All Scriptures are from the NET. Check out these links for more thoughts on the topic: https://thebibleproject.com/explore/Jude/

    #357 2 & 3 John

    Day 357 of the podcast, reading 2 John 1 3 John NET, read along at: https://netbible.org/bible/2+John+1+3+John/ This is day 357 of our journey. Today we will read two short letters from John.  Second John is written to another church gathering, and has similar themes to First John, but in much briefer form.  He gives them a warning to stay away from false teachers and to withhold support from them.  At the same time he praises them for continuing to walk in the truth. Third John is written to his friend, Gaius, as a note of thanks and encouragement.  John had sent a letter to the church introducing some brothers in Christ to them, but one of the church leaders refused to accept these men and forbid anyone else from accepting them as well.  Gaius, however, put them up in his own home, allowing them to complete their mission. Join me in 2 John & 3 John and walk in the truth with love! Key verses: 2 John 1:9 Everyone who goes on ahead and does not remain in the teaching of Christ does not have God. The one who remains in this teaching has both the Father and the Son.   3 John 1:11 Dear friend, do not imitate what is bad but what is good. The one who does good is of God; the one who does what is bad has not seen God.   All Scriptures are from the NET.
