BIBLE TRIVIA SERIES "ACTS TO REVELATIONS"

Good Evening to All!

As the coming of Christ gets closer, I feel compelled to get as much knowledge and recollection out as possible. Therefore, I will be doing a series of these, starting in Acts, and following through Revelation. This is in hope that it will entice people to dig into their Bibles, and search for the truth. While it is true that “we know not the day nor the hour that Christ will return for His people”, He also tells us to watch for the signs. They are all happening right now, in this day and time. Be aware. Read, research and be ready!
