Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah . . . has conquered . . . Revelation 5:5
But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ . . . Galatians 6:14
You have been very angry with your Anointed One. Psalm 89:38
For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 1 Corinthians 2:2
Let the motto upon your whole ministry be - "Christ is All!" - Cotton Mather

The Melodic Line Of The Book Of Revelation

I had the wonderful privilege of attending a Simeon Trust workshop on the book of Revelation this past week (hear our teacher, Pastor Ryan Bishop's sermons on the book in the series: Hold On, Christ Is Close). One of the concepts they teach us is the melodic line of a book. Simeon Trust defines melodic line this way:
