REVELATION 21 & 22
REVELATION 19-20
An amazing interlude takes place in chapter 19! A song is sung by many in heaven before the throne of God. As songs are sung, a wedding is about to take place. God will be united with his creation in the Marriage Super of the Lamb. God's people are made Holy and now can dwell with a Holy God. But in the meantime...the world's governments join together to fight against the Lamb and his people!
REVELATION 17-18
These two chapters will blow your mind! You can study them over and over and yet be captivated by such imagery! What is it all pointing to? Who or what is being described? Let's read over and see what we can learn!
REVELATION 16
Bowl judgments by heavenly messengers...priest like angelic beings with bowls that are filled with the wrath of God (wrath of the Lamb). When people cry out for justice do they know what they are really asking for? What if God were to give the people of the world exactly what is just for our behavior? When we reject God's grace and mercy as provided through the Messiah, what is to be expected from a holy God?
REVELATION 15
Just as there was a tabernacle on the earth (a temple), so we see a busy angelic team of servants doing the work of the Lord in heaven! Songs are sung abut God's marvelous deeds and works. Through these judgements on the earth, God is showing His righteousness and holiness. Before a dignitary comes to a city...the local government cleans it up! Interesting how we see this happening in the Tribulation time of the Revelation!
REVELATION 14
This is a reading of Revelation 14! A world totally given over to false worship. There is a anti trinity, the Red Dragon, The Beast, and the evil Lamb that is at work in the world. A image of the Beast is created that is given life to cause those of the earth to worship the Beast. A economic system is in-acted to which know one is able to buy or sell without the mark. What will happen next?
REVELATION 12 & 13
Revelation 12 & 13 are amazing chapters that have been debating throughout the centuries! As judgments bombard the planet the people of the world will have a choice to either go along with the world economic and power structure controlled by the evil one or make a choice to suffer persecution due to their faith in Jesus as the Messiah of God.
REVELATION 11
Revelation 11 John...prophesying about many peoples, nations, languages, and kings! 2000 years ago, John has a vison of things to happen in the future. Literal people, languages, and kings are a major part of the Revelation given to him. The Bible is about real people, places and things! How amazing it is to read prophetic literature, when you know Jesus!, the Messiah!
REVELATION 9 & 10
Well we are knee deep in some serious judgments to the earth and it's inhabitants! War is here! Plagues are happening! Everything we once thought to be a constant is no longer. This is a time like no other on the planet. Humans no longer are in control, and the judgments that come are ones which cannot be thwarted by human engineering or industry. We are impotent against it!
REVELATION 7 & 8
Chapter 7 & 8 in the book of Revelation lead us into another set up judgements called the trumpet judgements that are to take place on the earth! It' good to read them together. We also get a glimpse that Israel once again is a topic of most importance during this time of hardship on the nations.
Revelation 4 & 5
These two chapters begin the time of, "after these things." After what things you might ask? The church! We got through the words of Jesus to the churches. But now, after the time of the churches, we get a glimpse into the throne of heaven! And guess who the focus is? God and the Messiah! This is the correct focus that all of creation should have. This is in contrast to this world we live in now, which is focused on anything but the Creator and one who died for us!
