[For_Mis.2]

I recently read a booklet published by the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad. It was about near death expericences. It spoke not only the great and gloriouse Light at the end of a tunnel like the new agers talk about, but also hades; it recounted stories about snaks crawling all over and in and out of the wicked. There was much more, but the point is we must concern ourslves about now. We are given only today, Jesus said that weonly have today, also St Paul said we are but a mist here tody annd gone tomorrow. The book of Revelations is imposible to understand. Because of this the Orthodox Church reads all the other books duringing the church calendar except Revelation. The early church fathers were slow in excepting it into the canon, but since St John wrote it under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit it was accepted in the east. No one knows what the number 666 that's inscribed on the head of the beast, it's better to concentrate on what we do understand. The plan of salvation is really simple, the Bible was written after the Church came into being on the Day of Pentacost. The Bible said it is for our edification, to add or subtract from it is in direct vilation of the book of Revalation.
