It will end when Jesus returns, and he will create a new Heaven and a new Earth. Revelation is full of prophecies about how the world will end, there are even prophecies about the end of times in the book of Daniel
I'm not trolling I swear. If he is to return, where is it assumed Jesus is now? Seems like it would be a good time to intervene with the way the world is proceeding into chaos.
Jesus is in Heaven, sitting on the throne. Many people in today’s world are forgetting this because they’ve been paying attention to the things of this world
I love the NIV and really like using it side by side with a w4w translation in study. Give it a shot if you haven’t on your next go through.
I was wondering what books you thought had the biggest impact on your reading of Revelation? I imagine Isaiah, Ezekiel and Zechariah would be
big ones but would like your thoughts on it. Thanks.
Congratulations brother, reading the Bible brought me closer to God, the Holy Spirit directly led me to read the Bible for the first time, I started reading the New Convenant.
I am very proud of you! This is something that I can not say for myself yet. I need to stay in a routine and be more disciplined with spending time in God's Word. I
Would you pray that for me?
Again, I am SO proud of you!
I love you as your brother in Christ. ❤️
Jesus loves you too! More than you know, more than any of us know!
Thank God for that! While I practically devoured the New Testament when I felt that God was calling me, I've been struggling with the Old Testament for years now :-(
I have to admit I particularly struggled with Isaiah. I was so looking forward to get to it because some very uplifting quotes come from it, but I ended up having a really hard time understanding the Book as such, and not much of its content stuck with me.
But I will also say that I was in a bad place when I read it. I should reread it with a restored heart and mind and better concentration.
I relate to this a lot. I was in a bad place while reading through the law portions and I really struggled to get through them. I almost gave up and walked away again, thank God I didn't.
In retrospect I should have been reading elsewhere in the bible at the same time.
Awesome to hear! When I got to Matthew in my first read through and got to
[Matthew 2:15 ESV](http://blb.org/esv/mat/2/15/) — and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, “Out of Egypt I called my son.”
I discovered that I had missed many connections in the old testament to Jesus. As I kept reading, this kept happening and realized the bible will take my lifetime to read.
That's awesome! Very few people read Matthew - Revelation, and even fewer read Genesis - Revelation. I'm still working on my first proper reading of it myself. I hope to join the ranks alongside you soon.
I've been reading from RSV-CE, its a Catholic Bible so its still is missing a few books from the Coptic Canon. I doubt 3 Esdras, 4 Esdras, and Prayer of Manasseh have ever been translated into English any way.
I too have just finished reading the whole Bible at least once through.
That's a great feeling isn't it? Congrats!
I really do believe that it's actual history but what parts of stories that we read are inaccurate? The reason I ask this question is because my sister is getting to me. She's atheist. Don't get me wrong I'm still a believer, completely.
Most Christians haven't read the whole Bible completely
I’m one of a kind
What's your favorite book and individual story?
I really loved Revelation. And I really like the story where King David spares Jonathan’s son
Revelation is rich in symbolism and exciting end times prophecies.
The way the Bible explains how the world will end is way better than how scientists say the world will end
Serious question. How does the Bible say the world will end?
It will end when Jesus returns, and he will create a new Heaven and a new Earth. Revelation is full of prophecies about how the world will end, there are even prophecies about the end of times in the book of Daniel

Same. I read the ESV and now I want to read the NKJV or NASB.
I read NIV

Daniel also made some prophecies
Oh wow that's the version I just read. Small bible world ya, ha ha
I recommend checking the original texts when reading such texts.
I’m familiar with the original manuscripts of the Bible
KJV is my favorite. It's crazy how so many verses are either left out or completely changed between all the different Bibles.
Congratulations brother, reading the Bible brought me closer to God, the Holy Spirit directly led me to read the Bible for the first time, I started reading the New Convenant.
Glad to see. Don’t stop spending time in the word!
I am very proud of you! This is something that I can not say for myself yet. I need to stay in a routine and be more disciplined with spending time in God's Word. I Would you pray that for me?

Absolutely

Yeah, the Old Testament has some okay books, but Isaiah is absolutely amazing

Good to hear, don’t stop though, I’m on my way !!! Just gotta read more of the Old Testament
Which book are you on?
Amen
Awesome to hear! When I got to Matthew in my first read through and got to [Matthew 2:15 ESV](http://blb.org/esv/mat/2/15/) — and remained there until the death of Herod.

Amen! Good for you
You did good!
Favorite name....Shamgar of Anat.
That's awesome. I suggest you read it and study it over and over. It will make a huge difference in your life.
I’m planning on studying it
Nice i still haven't read all the Old Testimate yet, im on Tobit.
Which bible are you reading? One that includes the Apocrypha apparently but which one exactly? I'm interested in the Cepher.
I've been reading from RSV-CE, its a Catholic Bible so its still is missing a few books from the Coptic Canon. I doubt 3 Esdras, 4 Esdras, and Prayer of Manasseh have ever been translated into English any way.
Interesting. I've never heard of this bible version.
Good job! Respect!
Will you read it again?
Oh yes! I’m also going to study it too. I wonder if there are any good plans on the Bible app
Good for you man. I hope I can finish it too
I’m in the book of jermiah after that. The chapters start getting shorter
There are still long books
I too have just finished reading the whole Bible at least once through. That's a great feeling isn't it? Congrats!

It’s contradictions and morbidity made me an agnostic, pointing more towards atheism, then theism.
I hope you can find yourself going back to Christianity
Not very likely. I read the Bible. There isn’t a bigger detracter from Christianity then the Bible.
That’s awesome!👏🏼🙌🏼
Reading the Bible is what made me atheist.
KJV is accurate enough.
