Episode: Day 363: The New Covenant Priesthood (2023)
It was read from, chapters 15-17, as part of the Bible in a Year reading plan, and was the main focus for discussion during this episode, including a discussion of the Roman Empire and its persecution of early Christians.
"
We're reading Revelations chapter 15, 16, and 17, as well as Hebrews chapter 5, 6, 7, and 8.
It's not plural, it's singular, although it's pretty great. Revelation chapter 15, 16, and 17, Hebrews, letters to the Hebrews, 5, 6, 7, and 8, as well as Proverbs chapter 31, verses 23 to 25.
So speaking of the future, and speaking of the past, and speaking of the book of Revelation, we have in chapter 17, we have the story of the harlot and the beast.
And talks about, here's the woman, the harlot and the beast. And the beast has the seven heads and 10 horns that carries her.
And it says that in chapter 17, verse nine, it calls for a mind with wisdom. The seven heads of the beast are seven hills on which the woman is seated. There are also seven Kings, five of whom have fallen. One is, the other has not yet come. When he comes, he must reign only a little while.

Well, Jeff Gabens created this thing called The Great Adventure Bible Timeline.
And so what we did is people at Ascension, really smart people, really holy people. What they did is they sat down, took Jeff's Great Adventure Bible Timeline, that reading plan and said, okay, now here's the story. Where do the other books fit in the story?
And this is what I've been using. I'm so excited to restart this year because when I've been narrating the Bible, I didn't write in my Bible. I just read, right? I'm so excited to now, this upcoming year, to listen and to write in my Bible, to follow along in that way that just, you know, I don't have to get all the names right. Don't have to get all the words right.
