Let's read Psalm 85, Esther 3 and 4, Apocalypse 13

"Lord, make us see your kindness,
And grant us your salvation !
...
The LORD also will bring happiness,
and our land will yield its products. "
Psalm 85: 8, 13

Meditate:
- What's return captivity is a sign it (Psalm 85: 2-4)? What signs have we received God's forgiveness, what is the psalmist's concern for the future of the people (vs. 7-9)? Do we want see also the benevolence of God in our lives? "Happiness is not an illusion that man makes, but it is a grace, vs 13" He who does not open to this grace misses of life.
- Haman seeks Why does the loss of the Jewish people, what are the roots of the problem (Est. 3)? What do you think the attitude of Mordecai (vs. 5)? How did God's hand in the spell cast by this genocidal (vs. 7, 13)? What was the reaction of the Jews (Est. 4)? Mordecai how he makes his request to Esther? What is his response (vs. 16)?
- The beast mentioned in Apocalypse 13: 1-8 is the Antichrist. What does it look like the dragon (Satan, ch. 12: 3, 17)? What are its characteristics? His followers, who do not follow? His reign is limited in time: 42 months = 3 1 / 2 years. From verse 11, another animal comes into play. What is his power (vs. 13 to 17)? And its purpose (vs. 12)?

Singin 'Yes goodness and mercy shall follow me "(JEM 77)
