Studies in Prophecy
A Voice
And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our God, all ye his servants, and ye that fear him, both small and great. (Rev. 19:5 KJV)

The Bible tells us a lot about the end times. It gets very confusing because it’s told in pieces and there is only one book in the New Testament devoted to the end times and there are a lot of different points of view on how to interpret it.
Let’s look at what the Bible says.
