Bible Truths - Prophecy of Daniel and Revelation - The River of Life #11 - This presentation is about how to get a new beginning in life and how to be clean before God. It begins with the story of Naaman, the leper who was healed when he washed in the Jordan. We too have the disease of sin and need cleansing. Baptism is a sign that we are humbling ourselves, obeying God, and having sin washed away. Christ has given us an example and we ought to follow Him. #BibleTruths #ProphecyDaniel #TheRiverOfLife #BibleTruths2020 #AmazingFactsProphecy #EndTimeProphecy2020 #ProphecyDanielRevelation #BibleProphecy2020 #RevelationProphecy2020 #ProphecySeminar #SignsYouCantIgnore #LandmarksOfProphecy2020 #AmazingFacts
