It is a book of the Bible that contains vivid imagery and striking symbolism. Yet it is a book of prophecy with a message in which the Holy Spirit seeks to pull back the curtain of the end times. It is a book in which we see the Son of God in heaven along with His sovereign purposes being fulfilled here on earth. Through all the events that have yet to take place, there is great comfort in knowing that God is still on His throne.<\/p>\n<p>Pine Island Bible Church will be holding a 9 session seminar on the Book of Revelation with Ron Lashuay as our guest speaker. Ron and his wife Anne are former missionaries to the Philippines. Ron is now on staff at Calvary Bible Church in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin.
