Sadly, many commentaries on Revelation ignore the need to have a clean heart in order to survive what's coming.

For the majority of my fifty-seven years following Jesus, I have recorded my discoveries in a private spiritual journal. Over time, it grew into several notebooks that were eventually transferred to my computer. They contained various thoughts and insights that seemed important to my spiritual development. Some were pivotal, others less so, but I recorded them all, not knowing how God would use them in my life. All of the notes I recorded were meant for personal use, and as my way of showing God that I was paying attention.

Può sembrare incredibile ma nella Bibbia, quando Dio sceglie una persona per affidarle una missione, si tratta quasi sempre della persona più sbagliata che si possa immaginare. Ordina a una coppia anziana e sterile di generare un popolo, chiama a sé un balbuziente perché diventi oratore e profeta, mette giustizia e verità nelle mani di ladroni e prostitute. Le figure più venerabili dell'Antico Testamento, come Abramo, Mosè, Davide e Salomone, sono in realtà segnate da una moltitudine di colpe, destinate a coprirsi di ridicolo.
