Day 351 of the Holy Bible One Year CHALLENGE.

In Ezra 1-2:1-67, King Cyrus of Persia allows the Jewish people to return to Jerusalem after being exiled in Babylon. He even helps them rebuild the Temple by returning items taken by the Babylonians. Many Jewish families make the journey back, and they're listed by name in these chapters. It's a time of hope and new beginnings for them as they start rebuilding their lives and their place of worship in Jerusalem.

In Revelation 8-9:1-12, it talks about seven angels with seven trumpets, each causing different events when they blow their trumpets. When the first four angels blow their trumpets, various disasters strike the earth, like hail and fire, a burning mountain falling into the sea, and a star falling on rivers. The fifth angel's trumpet causes a star to fall from heaven, opening a bottomless pit. From this pit, locust-like creatures emerge and torment people who do not have God's mark. These chapters in Revelation are about warnings and judgments during the end times.

In Malachi 2:17 to 4, God talks to His people about how they've been acting wrongly, questioning His justice. He promises to send a messenger to prepare the way for Him. Then, God Himself will come to judge and purify people. The last chapter gives hope: those who respect God will be blessed, but those who do bad things will face judgment. It ends with a promise to send Elijah before a great and terrible day of the Lord, to turn hearts towards each other and God.In Revelation 7, John sees two groups: First, 144,000 people from Israel's tribes are marked to be protected by God. Then, he sees a huge crowd from all over the world standing before God's throne in heaven. They praise God, and it's explained that they went through hard times but now they're with God, who will take care of them forever. It's a vision of hope and God's care for His people through tough times.

Day 349 of the Holy Bible One Year CHALLENGE.

In Malachi 1 and 2:1-16, God is speaking to the people of Israel. He reminds them of His love and warns the priests about not honoring Him properly. He's upset because they offer blemished sacrifices, which disrespects Him. God wants the priests to be sincere and teach His ways truthfully. He also talks about how people should be faithful in their marriages and not be unfair to their wives. This section of the Bible teaches about respecting and honoring God, and being faithful and fair in our relationships.

In Revelation 6, John describes a vision of the opening of the first six seals by Jesus. Each seal reveals something different:

1. The first seal introduces a rider on a white horse, symbolizing conquest.
2. The second seal reveals a rider on a red horse, representing war.
3. The third seal shows a rider on a black horse, symbolizing famine.
4. The fourth seal brings a rider on a pale horse, representing death.
5. The fifth seal reveals the souls of those who were killed for believing in God, asking for justice.
6. The sixth seal causes great natural disasters, like earthquakes and the sun turning black, showing God's power and the coming judgment.

This chapter in the Bible is about God's power and the big changes that will happen in the world at the end of times.

Esther 9-10 tells about how the Jewish people were saved from a plot to destroy them, thanks to Queen Esther and her cousin Mordecai. The king allowed them to defend themselves against their enemies.

Then, a Lamb (representing Jesus) who appears as if it had been sacrificed, is able to open the scroll. This shows that Jesus is the only one worthy to reveal God's plans.

Day 347 of the Holy Bible One Year CHALLENGE.

In Esther chapters 6 to 8, King Ahasuerus discovers that Mordecai, Esther's cousin, had once saved his life but was never rewarded. The king honors Mordecai, which makes Haman, the king's advisor who dislikes Mordecai, very upset.

Then, Esther and Mordecai are allowed to write a new decree to protect the Jews. This story shows how bravery and faith can lead to justice and protection.

In Revelation, chapter 4, John, the writer, describes a vision of heaven. He sees God's throne, surrounded by amazing sights and creatures that represent the greatness and holiness of God. There are 24 elders and four living beings that constantly praise God, saying, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty." This chapter shows the majesty and power of God and sets the stage for the events that will unfold in the rest of Revelation.

She invites the king and Haman to a special banquet, setting the stage to reveal Haman's evil plan.

In Revelation 3:7-22, Jesus sends messages to two churches. To the church in Philadelphia, He praises their faith and promises to keep them safe and give them a special place in heaven.
