The Jae Story: Why I Left the Church... Episode 14

The Universal Power of the Number 7

Jae shares insight into the, The Book of Revelation of Jesus Christ to John; the English title "Revelation" comes from the first word of the book in Greek, (Gr. apokalypsis), which means the "uncovering or unveiling" -  translated literally from Greek, is a disclosure of knowledge, i.e., a lifting of the veil or revelation.

The number 7 is prominent in Revelation:

• and Laodicea, near Denizli (see Laodicean Church)
