What is the “key of David” and what does it reveal about Jesus, as well as the papacy? And what does it mean to be a pillar in the temple of God? Plus, Jesus commended the Philadelphians and did not rebuke them for anything.

Saint Paul was the ultimate evangelist. Although he wasn’t a pope, it’s fitting that many popes took his name as part of their title. Paul was the ultimate “pontifex”, or “bridge-builder” between people and God, just as God built a “bridge” to reach Paul: the Cross of Christ. St. Paul teaches us how to bring others to Jesus, just as he did.

Who gets to drink of the water of life? How can we overcome the battles we face? In Revelation 21:5 the Lord says, “Behold, I make all things new”. Cale discusses these questions and shares an inspiring story of a man in Africa who came to faith in Christ right before being martyred.

In Revelation 12, we see “a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars”. Who is she?

Cale also shares a stunning story of a family whose son was murdered and how they showed mercy.

In Revelation 7, we see that there are 144,000 people from the tribes of Israel who are sealed. What is the seal? Are the 144,000 people a literal number? Perhaps you’ve had a Jehovah’s Witness tell you this. Cale explains why the 144,000 is not literal and how you can be triumphant with Christ.
