Week 1

 

Ecclesiastes 3:11(ESV)

11 He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man’s heart,yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.

 

Romans 1:18-23(ESV)

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.

    and awesome above all who are around him?

6 No one in heaven is like you, Lord;
    none of the heavenly beings is your equal.
7 You are feared in the council of the holy ones;
    they all stand in awe of you.

 

Deuteronomy 10:17(GNT)[vi]

Revelation 12:7-9 (ESV)[v]

7 Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, 8 but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

 

Revelation 12:4-5(ESV)[vi]

4 His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and cast them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was about to give birth, so that when she bore her child he might devour it. 5 She gave birth to a male child, one who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron, but her child was caught up to God and to his throne,

 

Isaiah 14:13(NLT)[vii]
