		<title>REVELATION AND THE OIL SPILL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I write this, the BP Gulf Oil Spill catastrophe has passed 60 days and counting. It has been described as the worst one in history and it is still growing. Recently P. J. Hahn, Director of coastal zone management for Louisiana’s Plaquemines Parish commented, “In Revelation it says the water will turn to blood. [...]]]></description>

		<title>A SWORD FROM HIS MOUTH ( Ch. 1:16b)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When we think of a sword in a mouth, perhaps we would typically think of a circus sword-swallower.

		<title>WHY BRASS FEET?  (Ch. 1:15A)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First of all, it doesn’t actually say His feet were brass, but that they were &#8220;like&#8221; fine brass. But the question remains, why this symbolism? Why are feet even mentioned? And what do they have to do with Revelation and the last days? Fair questions—I would suggest that they fit in very well with the [...]]]></description>
