Earlier in the week we read about the vision of the pregnant woman battling the dragon. Today we are reading a new vision with two monsters who enslave people, marking them with the infamous 666. I strongly encourage you not to get caught up in all the conspiracies and theories about those numbers. What we know for sure is that 7 is an important theme in this book because it means completion (like the Sabbath on the 7th day). So, the monsters marking people with the number 6, is like a parody about being incomplete. If you follow the way of the beast, you are never satisfied. If you follow God, you are made whole.

About this Plan
The apocalypse ("uncovering" in Greek) that John receives reveals the nature of the world as it is and will one day be. Amidst all of the cosmic imagery is a Lamb and its army who conquer through the power of sacrificial love. This 8-week plan is written by the church and for the church as we seek to follow Jesus in the 21st century.
