    Revelations 3:15-20 Sacred Scripture‚ God’s wonderful gift to humanity‚ basically everything we know about Him comes from Sacred Scripture‚ without Sacred Scripture we would be hopeless.

    hazardous sign on a box of chemicals. The book of Revelations is full of symbols. Understanding what each symbol means‚ may be difficult if not studied.

Throughout Fahrenheit 451‚ Ray Bradbury alludes to quotes that refer to something that

    for salvation.” This quote from a British preacher Charles Spurgeon accurately con-veys Flannery O’Connor’s works that are considered mere dramatizations of her stated religious views. O’Connor’s stories such as “A Good Man is Hard to Find” and “Revelation” have au-thoritative narrators who analyze corrupt characters’ theological errors.
