Amen! The Lord's words endure forever: "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." (Hebrews 13:8) The Lord leads me where I need to go in the scriptures when He convicts me in such a manner, Giller . I wrote elsewhere that the Lord has commanded me to read specific books of scripture, teaching me to do so in prayer (Job was the first). I'm in the book of Revelation at this time... so many erroneously believe that Revelation is terrifying, in effect becoming "the revelation of the Beast!" Perhaps it's that way due to the conviction of some who read this book, which is a blessing from God if they grasp the ramifications of the following verse:
Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. (Revelation 1:3)
The Lord convicted me of this, asking me why am I so afraid? Like frienduff , I wasn't indoctrinated in the churches and yet the errors and false teachings of this world's churches concerning Revelation still found their way into my mind. The Lord is faithful to cleanse us, sanctify us, and instruct us in His word. Revelation is wonderful beyond words because that book is the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ! It's exciting to read.
And in saying that, people also must give heed to its warnings, because they are very serious warnings, believer and unbeliever must give heed.
Search me, O Lord Jesus, and root out every shadow of turning, vain imagining, false doctrine, error, and blindness so that I might cling to You and mortify this body of corruption to the glory of God.
The testimony of God's Word culminates in the book of Revelation where we see, according to the prophecy, that men harden their hearts and refuse to repent of their evil and wicked ways. There's nothing new under the sun.
