The two books the devil hates most are Genesis and Revelation. Why?

• In Genesis the devil's doom is pronounced.

• In Revelation it’s carried out. It is the Devil's Obituary.

Satan would tell us Genesis is myth and Revelation is mystery—don't pay attention to either one! Did you know there's no devil in either the first two or last two chapters of the Bible?

There’s a special blessing in the book of Genesis, because it’s the seed bed of all Scripture. And Revelation is the culmination of all Scripture. It is also the only book in the Bible that God promises to bless you if you will just read it and heed it.
