Revelation 17:1-17 

In times of turmoil and tribulation when we may be tempted to despair, God in the book of Revelation, and in particular Chapter 7, wants to open our eyes to unveil the spiritual reality that He is sovereign and on the throne.  He invites us to be part of His worshipping community, to know His love and tender care and be filled anew with hope, whatever we are going through.
