Notice on a slight format change:

Except for July 2012, these are mostly a collection of current devotional notes.

July 2012 is a re-write of old quiet times. My second child was born Nov 11, 1987 with multiple birth defects. I've been re-reading my QT notes from that time in my life, and have included them here. They cover the time before the birth and the few years immediately after the birth. They are tagged "historical." I added new insights and labeled them: ((TODAY, dd mmm yy)).

QT 14 Jul 15, Isa 21:9, The end has been decreed

Isa 21:9 (ESV) And behold, here come riders,
horsemen in pairs!"
 And he answered,
 "Fallen, fallen is Babylon;
 and all the carved images of her gods
he has shattered to the ground."


NOTE: If I remember correctly, this verse fits in Revelation in the sense that while the Antichrist is attacking Israel to deliver the final end of the Jewish problem, he receives word, via horse (indicating some communication problems in the last days of the tribulation), that his city has been destroyed literally. Another chapter in Revelation deals with the figurative destruction of Babylon, which is the destruction of the worldview that our culture possess today. The destruction of the city is only a few days before the destruction of the Antichrist forces and the return of the Messiah of Israel. And so while it may seem that the world is falling apart morally today, it will be falling apart in much worse ways in the days to come. Come Lord Jesus, come.
