I gave the scroll to Seraiah and said: When you get to Babylon, read this scroll aloud,
God will bless everyone who reads this prophecy to others, and he will bless everyone who hears and obeys it. The time is almost here.
In the name of the Lord I beg you to read this letter to all his followers.
Encourage each other with these words.
After this letter has been read to your people, be sure to have it read in the church at Laodicea. And you should read the letter that I have sent to them.
As Jesus was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, “Teacher, look at these beautiful stones and wonderful buildings!”
After Jesus left the temple, his disciples came over and said, “Look at all these buildings!”
Before they left, I wrote on a scroll all the terrible things that would happen to Babylon.
then pray, “Our LORD, you promised to destroy this place and make it into a desert where no people or animals will ever live.”
