"Read and be Blessed!"

The Book of Revelation/Apocalypse is unique in that it opens with a blessing declared for anyone who reads it, hears it and heeds it.. (first chapter, verse three). Then at the end of the book in the last chapter, verse seven, it repeats the blessing.. Makes me think we are supposed to read it and understand it! That we would be blessed to be able to "heed" it...

Prophecy Is A Repeating Pattern

In Daniel 9, verse 27, the word used to say "covenant" is Strong's Hebrew, #1285, which can also mean "League". (Cross-reference - In our day - Revelation 13:3 - It expired! When its head, one of its heads did not, after all sign on.. but this wound was healed, and it rose anew.)
