Re: Examining LSM's Eschatology - Revelation's 7 Churches

Well Ohio, I really like the teachings of Watchman Nee and Witness Lee and how they open up the revelation in the Bible and the cross-references they used... and connecting the dots between OT and...

Re: Examining LSM's Eschatology - Revelation's 7 Churches

Re: Examining LSM's Eschatology - Revelation's 7 Churches

Re: Examining LSM's Eschatology - Revelation's 7 Churches
