Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Hey everyone, before we get started today, I want to let you know the Bible in a Year has brought the Word of God to so many people. As you know, you're part of this community, changing lives in so many incredible ways. We're humbled to play this role in God's plan and consider it our ongoing mission to keep bringing the Word of God to as many people as possible.
So what I'm saying is the end of this year is not going to be the end of Bible in a Year. So far, Ascension has been able to add the podcast to YouTube. You might have found it that way. Maybe you're watching right now on YouTube. And also, we're working on translating it into different languages so you could have the Bible in a year in other languages than English.
But, of course, this takes a significant investment to bring projects like these free of cost to our listening communities. And we want to keep them free of cost to all those people who participate because we want to get the Word of God out there.
And because of that, we have to rely on generous contributions from listeners like you to help defray these costs and to enable us to continually provide new audiences with this life-changing content. So if you would like to help support the Bible in a Year mission, you can go to ascensionpress.com support. That's ascensionpress.com support.
Hi, my name is Father Mike Schmitz, and you're listening to the Bible in a Year podcast, where we encounter God's voice and live life through the lens of Scripture.

Discovering how the story of salvation unfolds and how we fit into that story today. It is day 360. That sounds like a good number, kind of very circular. And we are reading from Revelation chapters 4, 5, 6, and 7. Okay. And as well as the book of Titus, a letter of Paul to Titus, chapters 1, 2, and 3. Might be a big day today. You probably already know that.
It's also Proverbs chapter 31, verses 10 through 15. As always, the Bible translation I'm reading from is the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition. I'm using the Great Adventure Bible from Ascension. If you want to download your own Bible in a year reading plan for these last few days, you can visit ascensionpress.com slash Bible in a year.

The Revelation to John, Chapter 4 The Heavenly Worship After this I looked, and behold, in heaven an open door.
And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this. At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne. And he who sat there appeared like Jasper and Carnelian, and round the throne was a rainbow that looked like an emerald.

Chapter 2: What is the significance of the heavenly throne room in Revelation?
But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit, which he poured out upon us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior. so that we might be justified by his grace and become heirs in hope of eternal life.
The saying is sure. I desire you to insist on these things so that those who have believed in God may be careful to apply themselves to good deeds. These are excellent and profitable to men. But avoid stupid controversies, genealogies, dissensions, and quarrels over the law, for they are unprofitable and futile.
As for a man who is factious, after admonishing him once or twice, have nothing more to do with him. Knowing that such a person is perverted and sinful, he is self-condemned. Final Messages and Benediction When I send Artemis or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there. Do your best to speed Zenos the lawyer and Apollos on their way.
See that they lack nothing. And let our people learn to apply themselves to good deeds, so as to help cases of urgent need and not to be unfruitful. All who are with me send greetings to you.
Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all. The book of Proverbs chapter 31 verses 10 through 15.
Who can find a good wife? She is far more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband trusts in her and he will have no lack of gain. She does him good and not harm all the days of her life. She seeks wool and flax and works with willing hands. She is like the ships of the merchant. She brings her food from afar.
She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household and tasks for her maidens.
Father in heaven, we give you praise and glory.
We thank you so much for bringing us once again to this day, to day 360. We ask that you please continue to walk with us, continue to journey with us. Above all, we ask you, Lord, to please continue to guide us because without your guidance, without your word, without your direction, we are completely lost. Help us to be yours this day and every day. In Jesus' name we pray.
