scores of automobiles from Orangei

Amen and have the keys of hell

the history of John's life on the
isle of Patmos, how he wept on
account of injustice, but God
brought him out. He told his

to reasons put inferior leaders over
of you, but if you just wait on God,
to He will send someone to lift you

ct He brought his congregations to
si;, tears when he explained John's
ke suffering and injustices and told
of of his parent suffering in slavery
