Acts 16:16-34: Paul casts out a spirit of divination from a slave woman, so that her owners couldn't make money anymore on her fortune telling skills. They convince the authorities to flog them and throw them in jail. At night, there is an earthquake and the cell doors are opened. The jailer thinks he's a goner for letting the prisoners escape, but Paul says, we're all here. The jailer asks Paul for baptism and then he dresses their wounds and gives them food to eat.
John 17:20-26: Jesus prays for his disciples and all believers who come after.
Revelation 22: Jesus says, I am coming soon. .....Soon: famous last word. Parents: We'll be there soon. Kids: we'll be home soon. Politicians: there will be justice soon. Boss: the company will be able to give raises soon. Employee: that project will be done soon(as soon as hell freezes over). We just have to look at the situation now(SNAFU- situation normal, all fouled up) and make our decisions, because soon means nothing.
