Daily Bible Reading Plan
Day 4 - Read Genesis 7-8
April 27, 2024 • Genesis 7—8
Noah was six hundred years old when God told him to enter the ark and the flood began. Rain fell on the earth for forty days and forty nights, but Noah and his family were safe. The waters remained on the earth for 150 days. God caused the waters to subside. Noah sent a dove from the ark until she did not return, then Noah knew the earth was dry. God told Noah to leave the ark and multiply the earth. Noah built an altar to God and offered burnt offerings with a pleasant aroma to God. God would never curse the ground because of man or strike every living creature down again.
Day 3 - Read Genesis 5-6
April 26, 2024 • Genesis 5—6
Chapter five documents the lineage of Adam to Noah and his three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. God created man in His likeness. Mankind multiplied and became corrupt. God reduced man’s lifespan on earth. Men of God began to lust after the daughters of worldly men. Men who were giants and were known from years past were living in these days. The thoughts of men’s hearts were evil. God chose to end all flesh by flooding the earth. God provided an escape to a righteous man named Noah, his wife, his sons, his sons’ wives, and two of every sort of living flesh (one male and one female). God ordered Noah to build an ark to be used to escape the flood. Noah did as God commanded.
Day 2 - Read Genesis 3-4
April 25, 2024 • Genesis 3—4
The serpent enticed Eve to sin by questioning God’s command concerning the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Eve chose to break God’s command and ate of the tree. Adam also agreed to sin against God. Their eyes were opened, and they were aware of their sin and nakedness. God pronounced punishment against the serpent, the man, and the woman. God removed the man and woman from the garden. Cain and Abel, sons of Adam and Eve, brought offerings to the Lord. God was pleased with Abel’s offering, but not with Cain’s. Cain was jealous of Abel, killed him, and was punished. God condemned Cain to be a wanderer on the earth. Cain had many descendants. and God blessed Adam and Eve with a son named Seth.
Day 1 - Read Genesis 1-2
April 24, 2024 • Genesis 1—2
The first five books of the Old Testament are called the Pentateuch (five books), the Torah (instruction), or the Books of The Law. The first book is Genesis which means beginning. Genesis tells the story of creation. God existed in the beginning, set time in motion, and created the world and everything in it. God rested on the seventh day and made it holy. He created man in His own image, male and female, and provided his plan for them to become one. God breathed life into man and put him in a garden in Eden. He told the man and woman to multiply the earth. Man was given rule over all living creatures of the earth and given fruit of the tree for food. But man was commanded not to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

Day 133 - Read Revelation 21-22
April 15, 2024 • Revelation 21—22
John saw a vision of “a new heaven and a new earth”. God’s dwelling place was with His people, and those who were not faithful were cast into the lake of fire. One of the angels with the seven bowls took John to a mountain and showed him the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming out of heaven from God. John described its beauty and size. It was a great and beautiful place prepared for those whose names were in the Lamb’s book of life. The curse of man was lifted. There was no darkness, and they saw God’s face. The angel told John to share the written words of the visions because God would be coming soon. The Spirit warned against anyone adding or taking away from the prophesy of the scroll. Anyone who did would be punished.
Day 132 - Read Revelation 18-20
April 14, 2024 • Revelation 18—20
The sins of Babylon were great, and its punishment was great. The kings and lovers of Babylon mourned its ruin. God avenged the blood of His servants. It was time for the Lord to be joined with His bride. He arrived on a white horse wearing a robe that bore the words, “King of Kings, and Lord of Lords.” The armies of the earth assembled to make war against Him. The beast and the false prophet who led men to receive the mark of the beast were thrown into the lake of fire. Satan was bound. Those who died in Christ and those who did not worship the beast reigned with Christ for a thousand years. Satan was cast into the lake of fire. God judged the dead and threw all whose names were not in the book of life in the lake of fire (second death).
Day 131 - Read Revelation 15-17
April 13, 2024 • Revelation 15—17
John saw the angels who conquered the beast. They were praising God. He saw seven angels with seven plagues. The angels were given seven bowls full of God’s wrath. Each angel poured the bowls of wrath, one at a time on those who worshiped the beast, and on the earth. This is the final wrath of God. The mountains were destroyed, and God remembered the sin of Babylon. The seventh bowl was poured out and large hailstones fell on the people. They cursed God. An angel showed John another vision. The vision told of Babylon, sexual sin and blasphemy, the power of Rome, and the destruction of earthly kingdoms. The prophesies of God were fulfilled, then the power of God overwhelmed the earthly kingdoms.
Day 130 - Read Revelation 12-14
April 12, 2024 • Revelation 12—14
John had a vision of a pregnant woman and a dragon. The vision depicted the power of God and the desire of Satan to destroy God’s work. The dragon went to war against Michael and his angels. The dragon was cast out of heaven. Satan was overcome. John’s vision in chapter thirteen warned against worshiping a beast who would be a ruler and would possess great power. The mark of the beast (666) would be given on the right hand or the forehead of those who would worship him. No one without the mark would be allowed to buy or sell. The Lamb stood on Mount Zion with 144,000 people who belonged to Him and were His first fruits. The judgement had come, and God reaped His harvest from the earth.
Day 129 - Read Revelation 9-11
April 11, 2024 • Revelation 9—11
Chapter nine gives an account of the fifth and sixth trumpets being blown and the destruction that followed. John saw an angel with a little scroll open in his hand. John was told to take the scroll. The angel allowed him to take the scroll and told him to eat it. The scroll was sweet to the mouth but bitter to the stomach, as the message of the gospel is sweet to the mouth but results in persecution to the one who receives and shares it. God spoke to John saying He would allow two witnesses to prophesy for 1,260 days, and no one would harm them. The seventh trumpet blew, and the destruction was complete. The time to judge the dead and reward the faithful had come. God again was triumphant and made His power known.
Day 128 - Read Revelation 6-8
April 10, 2024 • Revelation 6—8
John saw seven seals depicting the end times. The seals represented stages of the rapture and tribulation. The vision included the story of God saving a remnant of Israel and a great number of people who placed their faith in Him. He saved them from the great tribulation and everlasting punishment. They would hunger and thirst no more. Then an angel used a censer to throw fire on the earth causing thunder, lightning, and an earthquake. There were seven angels with trumpets. As each of the first four angels blew the trumpets, the earth and its inhabitants experienced great destruction. John saw an eagle flying over him and crying loudly lamenting at the coming destruction following the blowing of the remaining three trumpets.
Day 127 - Revelation 3-5
April 9, 2024 • Revelation 3—5
John continued the message to the seven churches in Asia. These churches were not unlike many churches today that were determined to follow Christ but allowed themselves to drift in direction and focus. The church must protect from the dangers of turning away from God and His purpose for the church. John described his vision of heaven in chapters 4 and 5. John saw a vision of God on His throne, and every creature worshipped Him. Jesus was presented as the One who was sacrificed, but conquered death to free everyone who would trust in Him for eternal life from death and eternal punishment. No one else could do what Jesus did through His sacrifice.
Day 126 - Read Revelation 1-2
April 7, 2024 • Revelation 1—2
John reaffirmed his faith in Jesus Christ and the Father who is the beginning and the end, the One who always existed, and the Almighty. John experienced a vision while on the island of Patmos. He was told by a loud voice to write what he saw and share it with seven churches in Asia. He turned to see where the voice was coming from and saw seven golden lampstands (representing the seven churches), seven stars (the angels or elders of the seven churches), and the Son of man (Jesus). Each message began with affirmation, then outlined areas of disobedience in the church. Each message was meant to strengthen the church. Jesus has been triumphant, and the churches would also be triumphant if believers trust Jesus in these areas.
