 signified (2 words in Greek seimaino - a mark + apostello - set apart), not by an angel but by His angel. "..God is not the author of confusion"; the angels of heaven are perfectly ordered by rank and file, each having their assigned stations and duties which they fulfill to the glory of God. The nature of man is to establish order from the top down as are the legends of Satan. Neither we or the devil have created anything new; we copy the heavenly for we have been made in the image of God. Whoever the angel is; in our Lord's eyes, lends His stamp of approval upon the testimony of John which follows. Our enemy the devil has used this ruse of a "verifying" angel more than once to deceive man into accepting a "another Gospel". Galatians 1:7-8 "Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the Gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other Gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed." By the time we reach the end of Revelation we will have learned more in this one book of the Bible about angels and their calling.
Why John? The timing was perfect; the Church was established and he was the last witness that could testify to it all. A son of thunder, now the apostle of love; John was the last of his breed; many believed he would not die (John 21:23). He had witnessed the incredible growth of the Church, had seen the power of God displayed in ways you and I could never imagine and was now called upon to place the capstone of ALL Scripture into our hands.
The Blessing - Verse 3 To receive a blessing, three requirements are given. In Greek all are present participle verbs (action), which means "this is what you constantly practice; this is who you are".
- Read; simple enough in itself but not complete; even a non-believer can read it.
- Hear (akouo - to hear with the ear of the mind); this is a more difficult for the believer; impossible for the lost soul.
- The caveat - and KEEP the words (logos) of this prophecy; the most difficult challenge for any believer.
My conclusion: Revelation is not to be trivialized, sensationalized or exploited for personal reasons whether as an individual, a group or a body of "believers". I have taken this study of Revelation very very seriously and it has required a diligent study of the whole of Scripture. Any other approach at this time in my life to this wonderful book would be questionable at best in my own mind.
The basis and authority for Revelation has been laid; let us continue to build on it.

Why study International Marketing?
The best reason to study International Marketing is to learn skills and knowledge that will help you meet the challenges of global business. Many of these challenges are related to managing effectively in an increasingly globalized and interconnected world where you likely to deal with coworkers, managers, suppliers, or customers from different national cultures. The International Marketing program aims to help you develop your intercultural skills, learn more about yourself, and improve your career prospects.
The program consists of four courses taught in English: Sales Management and Selling, Entrepreneurship, Negotiation, and Cross-Cultural Management. You will gain up-to-date knowledge about the global business environment and the strategic and managerial challenges facing global firms.
Upon completion of the program, you should be able to apply the knowledge to identify challenges and opportunities arising in global organizations; propose and evaluate solutions to international challenges; and communicate, reflect upon and take into consideration ethical issues and the consequences to problems that arise in an international setting.
The International Marketing classes consist of a diverse group of exchange and USN students. The classroom diversity provides an opportunity to explore and experience different approaches to business across cultures.

Alongside the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 comes a range of accessories, the most interesting of which is this Keyboard Dock. Available to order now from Dixons for £80, this full Qwerty accessory is high quality and reasonably lightweight.
Much like the famous Lapdock available for the Motorla Atrix, there are some proprietary keys for things like Home, Search and Apps. There’s a button for the shortcut which brings up a list of recently used apps as well as a button to bring up the control panel (Wi-Fi, GPS etc).
There’s also play/pause and skip media controls and volume keys, plus two keys for ‘Internet’ and ‘Mail’, which (shocker) act as shortcuts to the browser and Gmail respectively.
Despite the Keyboard Dock being passive and having no battery of its own, there’s a port on the side that you can plug the Tab 10.1’s mains charger unit into to keep you going. On the back there’s also a separate 3.5mm line out for headphones/speakers.
Like we said the build quality is excellent and if you were looking to get an Android tablet for use as a replacement laptop, then the Tab 10.1 with a Keyboard Dock ought to satisfy. We’re looking forwards to seeing how this all works with Google Docs, Smart Office and the like before we decide to ditch our work laptops for good.
Until then, have a gander at this handful of hands-on snaps.
Round on the side there’s a connection allowing you to charger your Galaxy Tab 10.1 from the mains while you work. There’s also a separate 3.5mm jack for your headphones so you can stay plugged in and not have the cables trailing down the front of the screen.
The keyboard itself is just great; nice responsive keys that are light and effortless to type on. Spot the proprietary shortcut keys: there’s Back, Home, Recently Used Apps, Internet, Mail, Lock Screen and many more.
The Galaxy Tab 10.1 slots in neatly and stays securely in place. No wobbling even when you’re properly hammering away at the keys.
We like that you can access accents on the vowels with the Alt Gr key; doing so on virtual Qweryts often entails a quick dive in and out of a special chracter’s settings or another menu.
A quick tap of the Power Control key launches the widget from where you can toggle things like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and the rest as well as enable Airplane mode or jump into the Settings.
It’s not that much bigger than the Tab 10.1 itself and doesn’t feel particulary heavy or weighty in the hand. You could easily stash these in your bag when you’re done with it and combined, they wouldn’t weigh you down any much more than your average laptop. Initially, this might cause us to wonder why God would allow such intense violence to occur. Perhaps, this might lead us to contemplate on all the lives that were ended during the war, or people who were killed during traumatic events. How could He? Why would He?
But then, we have to remember that God is sovereign and just and that His plan will always be for our good. In Jezebel's case, she had a number of opportunities to turn from her evil ways and repent. Jezebel did things based on her will and did not surrender to the will of the law or better yet the will of God. Paul, once Saul, claimed to be doing the same thing. Saul murder to please God but was really going against God the whole time. A more modern day example might be the life of Adolf Hitler.  But all 3 of these characters had time to repent and change. Thus, through continued rejection over the years 2 of the 3 faced the wrath and judgment of the Lord.
God does not execute judgment according to man's will but His. God hates sin, and it is evident in this passage that God is very serious about it. Remember
