1373 Words6 Pages

The theme for our MMVS elocution this year is taken from the book of Revelations, chapter 13, verse 10 – “Call for the endurance and faith of the saints”. While preparing for the elocution, I realized that this verse was taken from the International Standard Version of the Bible.

Endurance is standing strong in the faith of the gospel and true worship of God, in this time of trial and temptation. Patience is waiting for God to act, regardless of how long it takes and Perseverance is never giving up on our God, no matter the circumstances we may find ourselves in or the downfall we may

The Second Coming is the prophesied return of Christ to Earth. In addition to the theme of the end times and the Second Coming, there is also the important theme of the end time judgments. The three judgments, made by God and written down and recorded by John, include the seven seals, seven trumpets, and the seven bowls of wrath.
