Our Loss - His Gain

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Nov 30, 2006

I want us all to understand that when the Bible talks about the “last days”, it is not our last days. Rather these are the last days for the devil, and his evil.

His background was one of mixed influence. His name, for example, tell us something of his home life. Philip is a Greek name, ...read more
