Malachi 4:2-6
The Sun of Righteousness in the Old Testament is also the Bright and Morning Star of the New Testament. Of course, that Star is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ—the focus and the “star” of the entire Word of God. This concluding study of Malachi examines God’s final words to Israel before a period of silence lasting 400 years.
Malachi 3:16-4,6
Do you have a guest book for visitors in your home? Or do you use one for special events like weddings and parties? God also keeps a “book of remembrance,” and we’re included. Malachi tells us more about this book as he leads us into his important prophecy regarding the Day of the Lord and the Sun of Righteousness.
Malachi 3:9-16
Malachi’s discussion of tithing continues as we explore the important connection between giving, fellowship, and worship. Will Israel heed these warnings? Will we?
Malachi 3:8
The people are robbing God of tithes and offerings, so God’s rebuke of Israel (through the prophet Malachi) continues. Join us as Malachi focuses on the uncomfortable subject of giving, and hear more about tithing under the Mosaic legal system and how it relates to us today. The answers may surprise you.
Malachi 3:1-7
Malachi has spoken in depth about Israel’s social sins; next he addresses their idolatry, fascination with the occult, lying, and idol worship. Dr. McGee calls these “religious sins.” As the story unfolds, God attempts to detour Israel from destruction while the people continue to ask Him sarcastic questions and avoid repentance.
Malachi 2:17-3:4
The people of Israel are bored with their ritualistic worship and God is tired of their hypocrisy. As many begin to ask, “Where is the God of justice?” God tells them about two messengers to come. (Hint: Look ahead to 400 years later—the answers are found in all four Gospels.)
Malachi 2:10-17
In our continuing study of divorce and marriage in Malachi chapter 2, Dr. McGee reminds us that marriage itself is sanctioned by God and is a picture of Christ’s love for us and our response to it. We’ll also hear more about how Israel’s social sins (and that of any nation) are closely linked to their destruction.
Malachi 2:10-15
What reasons for divorce were permitted under the Mosaic Law? What are the grounds for a Christian to divorce today? The answers are clear as the prophet Malachi speaks directly to Israel and addresses their sin.
Malachi 2:10-15
The divorce rate continues to run rampant. But according to Dr. J. Vernon McGee, divorce is not the problem, it’s merely a symptom. The real issue is marriage! Israel had the same problems. Malachi addresses the feigned innocence and pretend ignorance of those who defiled their marriages by telling them God no longer received their offerings. Find out how that relates to us as Dr. McGee takes us through an extended look at Malachi 2:10-15.
Malachi 2:10-15
One of the most frequent and controversial topics pastors and Bible teachers have to address is divorce. The prophet Malachi did, too. Find out what he says to the Israelites who were leaving their wives for foreign girls who worshipped idols and how His message applies to us today.
Malachi 2:2-9
Whether we are pastors, deacons, or church members, there is certainly a message for each of us in Malachi 2. As we study the life of Levi (and his descendants) we’re reminded that no one can serve God without a reverence for His name.
Malachi 1:13-2:2
“I’d rather be the worst sinner on this earth—even a gangster or murderer—than to be the minister who goes into the pulpit with an unbelieving heart and gives pious platitudes.” That’s what our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, tells us as we examine the three sins pastors must avoid and hear how God requires our sincerity and reverence in worship.
Malachi 1:9-13
The little book of Malachi can be uncomfortable to study. Instead of pointing fingers at others, it helps us take a serious look at our own lives and ask tough questions like, “Am I giving my best to God?” Learn to recognize the warnings the Israelites ignored (the insincerity and hypocrisy in their hearts and worship) and see how the same things are a concern for us.
Malachi 1:2-8
What does it mean to live a life after God? The Israelites and Malachi disagreed on the answer. We’ll watch Malachi address the priests’ arrogance and expose their blemished rituals as an outward show. As Dr. McGee tells us, “God was telling them what they sacrifice is really a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the perfect Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Any imperfect offering was an insult to Him.”
Malachi 1:1
Who was Malachi? Was he a man or an angel? Together we examine the evidence and discover, ultimately, it’s “the message not the man that matters.” Travel with us through Malachi, and see him confront the Israelites on many of the same issues Nehemiah did, including: the defilement of the priesthood, the foreign marriages and divorce of Israelite wives, and neglecting their giving to God.
Zechariah 14:5-21
Can you imagine a world where everything is dedicated to the service of God—where even the pots and pans in your kitchen sing of the holiness of God? That’s in the Millennial Kingdom when God’s peace covers the earth. Discover more details about this amazing time period on God’s calendar in our final study of Zechariah.
Zechariah 14:1-4

Zechariah 12:6-14
Zechariah tells of the pivotal day when God will pour out the Holy Spirit upon Israel, and the Jews will recognize their Messiah and mourn for their rejection of Him.
Zechariah 12:1-5
Although Jerusalem will become the center of the antichrist’s activity, in this study we learn that ultimately it becomes a refuge for God’s people.
Zechariah 11:15-12:3
Is the world ready for the antichrist? As we turn the pages of Zechariah, Dr. McGee says, “Although there is bad news ahead for this world, we can look beyond these things and rejoice in the hope and promise of Jesus Christ’s return.”
Zechariah 11:7-17
Our study of Zechariah, also known as the prophet of hope, continues with “Zechariah’s parable” as we see a picture of Israel’s rejection of the Messiah and the consequent destruction of their nation.
Zechariah 10:6-11:6
Some people believe God has given up on the ten so-called “lost tribes” of Israel. But were they ever really lost? That’s one of the great things our teacher Dr. J. Vernon McGee discusses in our continuing study of Zechariah.
Zechariah 10:3-6
“Jesus is the only one in the saving business today.” That’s the straight talk we get from Dr. J. Vernon McGee in this study of Zechariah. Learn more about amazing prophecy and God’s future plan for Israel and the entire world.
Zechariah 10:1-3
Did you know the devil imitates Bible prophecy? He’s been using the same scheme from the beginning of time. Discover what that scheme is and the only thing that is guaranteed to defeat Satan’s plans.
Zechariah 9:9-17
Peace on earth. We’re going to hear that phrase a lot as our study of Zechariah continues. But is it possible? Dr. J. Vernon McGee tells where this peace might come from, and it may be different than we think.
Zechariah 9:9
Remember when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a small donkey on what we call “Palm Sunday”? The people went crazy, celebrating and waving palm fronds, shouting “Hosanna!” Hear Zechariah’s prophecy of this event and get a broader picture of the important statement Jesus was making.
Zechariah 9:4-9
Alexander the Great was a cruel and brutal general, but did you know the prophet Zechariah foretold his story some 200 years before? Dr. J. Vernon McGee takes us through this amazing prophecy and outlines its fulfilment.
Zechariah 8:15-9:4
Our study of Israel’s past, present, and future continues as Zechariah furthers his description of the Millennium and tells of the first coming of Jesus Christ.
Zechariah 8:4-19
There is a glorious future that awaits God’s chosen—that’s the picture we’ll see in this study of Zechariah 8. Follow along and take a look at the day when the people and land are restored by the grace of God.
Zechariah 7:11-8:3
Why doesn’t God answer our prayers? That’s the question the Israelites were asking, and it’s a question many of us ask too. Find out from the Old Testament prophet, Zechariah, why God didn’t answer them, and perhaps we’ll discover why He may not be answering us today.
Zechariah 7:8-11
Are you a good person? Dr. J. Vernon McGee answers that question for himself, and for you and me in this study of Zechariah 7. Follow along as he takes a look at traditions in the church today (baptism and communion) and how we should approach them.
Zechariah 7:4-7
The people in Israel were bored with their rituals, and God became bored with their worship. Follow along as their continuing story of disobedience and God’s reaction unfolds.
Zechariah 6:15-7:6
Do ceremonies and rituals matter in our worship? In this study, we’ll learn the key to answering this question is the state of the heart. As Dr. McGee tells us, “When the heart (our relationship with God) is right, the ritual is right; when the heart is wrong, the ritual is wrong.”
Zechariah 6:13-15
Zechariah’s ten visions tell a story and outline history for us. In this powerful study, we’ll be reminded that God’s purpose is not for nations to prosper, but for Jesus Christ to reign—and God’s purpose, not man’s, will prevail.
Zechariah 6:4-12
Whether you’re a practiced student of prophecy or you find it intimidating, you’ll appreciate this look at Zechariah’s visions. Dr. McGee zeros in on the four chariots of judgment Zechariah saw in his vision and tells us about the significance of “the branch” that represents Jesus Christ.
Zechariah 6:1-3

Instead of pointing fingers at others, it helps us take a serious look at our own lives and ask tough questions like, “Am I giving my best to God?” Learn to recognize the warnings the Israelites ignored (the insincerity and hypocrisy in their hearts and worship) and see how the same things are a concern for us.
Pain and Suffering

Malachi
Malachi 1:1
Who was Malachi? Was he a man or an angel? Together we examine the evidence and discover, ultimately, it’s “the message not the man that matters.” Travel with us through Malachi, and see him confront the Israelites on many of the same issues Nehemiah did, including: the defilement of the priesthood, the foreign marriages and divorce of Israelite wives, and neglecting their giving to God.
Malachi 1:2-8
What does it mean to live a life after God? The Israelites and Malachi disagreed on the answer. We’ll watch Malachi address the priests’ arrogance and expose their blemished rituals as an outward show. As Dr. McGee tells us, “God was telling them what they sacrifice is really a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the perfect Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Any imperfect offering was an insult to Him.”
Malachi 1:9-13
The little book of Malachi can be uncomfortable to study. Instead of pointing fingers at others, it helps us take a serious look at our own lives and ask tough questions like, “Am I giving my best to God?” Learn to recognize the warnings the Israelites ignored (the insincerity and hypocrisy in their hearts and worship) and see how the same things are a concern for us.
Malachi 1:13-2:2
“I’d rather be the worst sinner on this earth—even a gangster or murderer—than to be the minister who goes into the pulpit with an unbelieving heart and gives pious platitudes.” That’s what our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, tells us as we examine the three sins pastors must avoid and hear how God requires our sincerity and reverence in worship.
Malachi 2:2-9
Whether we are pastors, deacons, or church members, there is certainly a message for each of us in Malachi 2. As we study the life of Levi (and his descendants) we’re reminded that no one can serve God without a reverence for His name.
Malachi 2:10-15
One of the most frequent and controversial topics pastors and Bible teachers have to address is divorce. The prophet Malachi did, too. Find out what he says to the Israelites who were leaving their wives for foreign girls who worshipped idols and how His message applies to us today.
Malachi 2:10-15
The divorce rate continues to run rampant. But according to Dr. J. Vernon McGee, divorce is not the problem, it’s merely a symptom. The real issue is marriage! Israel had the same problems. Malachi addresses the feigned innocence and pretend ignorance of those who defiled their marriages by telling them God no longer received their offerings. Find out how that relates to us as Dr. McGee takes us through an extended look at Malachi 2:10-15.
Malachi 2:10-15
What reasons for divorce were permitted under the Mosaic Law? What are the grounds for a Christian to divorce today? The answers are clear as the prophet Malachi speaks directly to Israel and addresses their sin.
Malachi 2:10-17
In our continuing study of divorce and marriage in Malachi chapter 2, Dr. McGee reminds us that marriage itself is sanctioned by God and is a picture of Christ’s love for us and our response to it. We’ll also hear more about how Israel’s social sins (and that of any nation) are closely linked to their destruction.
Malachi 2:17-3:4
The people of Israel are bored with their ritualistic worship and God is tired of their hypocrisy. As many begin to ask, “Where is the God of justice?” God tells them about two messengers to come. (Hint: Look ahead to 400 years later—the answers are found in all four Gospels.)
Malachi 3:1-7
Malachi has spoken in depth about Israel’s social sins; next he addresses their idolatry, fascination with the occult, lying, and idol worship. Dr. McGee calls these “religious sins.” As the story unfolds, God attempts to detour Israel from destruction while the people continue to ask Him sarcastic questions and avoid repentance.
Malachi 3:8
The people are robbing God of tithes and offerings, so God’s rebuke of Israel (through the prophet Malachi) continues. Join us as Malachi focuses on the uncomfortable subject of giving, and hear more about tithing under the Mosaic legal system and how it relates to us today. The answers may surprise you.
Malachi 3:9-16
Malachi’s discussion of tithing continues as we explore the important connection between giving, fellowship, and worship. Will Israel heed these warnings? Will we?
Malachi 3:16-4,6
Do you have a guest book for visitors in your home? Or do you use one for special events like weddings and parties? God also keeps a “book of remembrance,” and we’re included. Malachi tells us more about this book as he leads us into his important prophecy regarding the Day of the Lord and the Sun of Righteousness.
Malachi 4:2-6
The Sun of Righteousness in the Old Testament is also the Bright and Morning Star of the New Testament. Of course, that Star is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ—the focus and the “star” of the entire Word of God. This concluding study of Malachi examines God’s final words to Israel before a period of silence lasting 400 years.

John the Revelator is given a message from the Lord Jesus Christ, to the churches. The day is coming to judge, when "every eye shall see Him…and all the people of the earth shall mourn because of Him!"
Revelation 1:10-17
John has a glorious revelation of the person of Jesus Christ, and is commissioned to give a special message from Jesus to seven particular churches in Asia Minor.

More on John's vision of the risen and glorious Lord Jesus Christ, the one who holds the keys of death and Hades, and we see the meaning of the seven stars, and the seven golden lampstands.
Revelation 2:1-4
God reveals personal letters to seven particular churches in Asia Minor, starting with the church at old Ephesus. These letters have things to say to each of us today!
Revelation 2:4-7
Ephesus was a good church, but they had one fly in the ointment; they had gotten cold in their relationship with Jesus Christ. We must keep our love sweet with Jesus!
Revelation 2:8-12
The Lord's personal letter to the church at ancient Smyrna, a poor and stressed gathering who were suffering for their testimony of faith in Christ.
Revelation 2:12-15
What is the "teaching of Balaam?" We get a clue in Jesus's personal letter to the ancient church at Pergamum, "where Satan's seat is."

Jesus's letter to the church in ancient Sardis, a church that had a reputation for being alive, but was actually ready to die. They needed to wake up and complete the work they were commissioned to do.
Revelation 3:7-13
The letter from Jesus to the church at ancient Philadelphia, a church who was commended for their faithfulness in the face of persecution.
Revelation 3:13-15
McGee says the Philadelphia church represents the church age that will see the Lord return in the Rapture, keeping the true faithful from the hour of temptation, leaving an apostate church behind.
Revelation 3:16-19
The letter to the church at Laodicea, which thought they were wonderful, but they were really detestible in the sight of Jesus.

A look behind the curtain in the heavenlies, with rainbows, and four living creatures representing creation and different aspects of the Lord Jesus Christ. Winged seraphim constantly sing "Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty who was, and is, and is to come.
Revelation 5:1-14
In heaven John sees the majesty of God, with a seven-sealed scroll representing the Title Deed of the Earth, and a Lamb representing the Lamb of God who gave his life for the sins of the world.

We now prepare for the opening of the seven seals on the document in heaven, the Title Deed to the Earth. Only Jesus, the Lamb of God, was counted worthy to open the seals!
Revelation 6:1-7
The future time opening of the "seven seals" on the scroll, which is the Title Deed of the Earth. McGee interprets each seal as it is opened by Jesus, and it seems to have to do with the fearsome period called the Great Tribulation.
Revelation 6:8-17
The Lamb of God continues to open the seven seals on the scroll containing the Title Deed of the Earth. The seal judgments mean just judgment, and great trouble for those dwelling on earth!

Revelation 7:2-4
God separates 144,000 Jewish servants, from the twelve tribes of Israel, during the Great Tribulation period, to be his witnesses.
Revelation 7:5-12
Even during the Great Tribulation, God will not leave himself without witnesses on earth; yes, the Gospel will be preached even during the Great Tribulation!
Revelation 7:13-17
A host is seen in white robes; these are those believers who stood for Christ during the Great Tribulation and were martyred for their faith. Dr McGee shares his case for a pre-Tribulation rapture.
Revelation 8:1
McGee discusses the import of the opening of the "seventh seal" judgment; silence in heaven for a half an hour, before the trumpet judgments that are to follow.
Revelation 8:2-6
The seventh seal having been opened, now we get a prelude to the seven trumpet judgments coming on the earth during the "Great Tribulation."

Revelation 10:8-11:2

The vision of the Woman clothed with the Sun, which represents the nation of Israel, and is attacked by a great Red Dragon which represents Satan and the Antichrist.
Revelation 12:6-9
We get a true picture of the nature of evil, and how the great Dragon, Satan, is the accuser of God's people! He loves to accuse us for our wrongdoings, but Christ our advocate has redeemed us.
Revelation 12:10-17
John sees the vision of the Great Dragon being thrown out of heaven onto the earth, which makes heaven rejoice. But the dragon begins to persecute the saints on earth, and the nation of Israel will be rescued at that time.
Revelation 13:1
The vision of the beast arising out of the sea, which represents the coming Antichrist. He has seven heads and ten horns, representing ten kings who cooperate with his evil scheme of world domination.
Revelation 13:2-8
A description of the coming Antichrist, his character and deeds, who encapsulates all the evil in the world. He will be popular, and offer a human answer to all ills. And a world, hostile to God, will worship the Antichrist and seal their own fate.

Who are the 144,000 in the book of Revelation? These are standing with the Lamb of God, the Lord Jesus Christ singing a new song.
Revelation 14:5-8
During the Great Tribulation, an angel will fly overhead preaching the Gospel to the earth. But these days, God entrusts that business to His Church.

Revelation 14:20-15:1
A description of the reaping of the final harvest of earth, and it is a terrible picture of a scythe slicing through the armies who rebelled against God. Fearsome plagues befall the wicked!

A dreadful look at the kinds of plagues which will happen to the sinners caught in the Great Tribulation. But God will keep his covenant with Israel and his people.
Revelation 15:8-16:8
The number seven is shown to be the number of completeness: Seven plagues during the Great Tribulation, seven bowls of God's wrath that are poured out on the earth.
Revelation 16:9-17
More about the "bowl judgments" of God during the Great Tribulation. It will be horrible and will be the last chance for sinful humanity to turn back to God; most, unfortunately, will not.
Revelation 16:18-17:5
More of the Great Tribulation, when God judges what is referred to as "Mystery Babylon the Great, the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations on the earth." McGee says this represents a false church that departed from the Gospel.
Revelation 17:6-18
Babylon the Great is pictured as an evil harlot, a phony church, and a city that rules over the wicked system. But the beast (Antichrist) will turn on the woman, and will burn her up. God sometimes turns the enemy's own swords against themselves.
Revelation 18:1-8
The fall of Babylon is described, and there are two areas: religious Babylon, and economic and political Babylon.

Remember when Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a small donkey on what we call “Palm Sunday”? The people went crazy, celebrating and waving palm fronds, shouting “Hosanna!” Hear Zechariah’s prophecy of this event and get a broader picture of the important statement Jesus was making.
Zechariah 9:4-9
Alexander the Great was a cruel and brutal general, but did you know the prophet Zechariah foretold his story some 200 years before? Dr. J. Vernon McGee takes us through this amazing prophecy and outlines its fulfilment.
Zechariah 8:15-9:4
Our study of Israel’s past, present, and future continues as Zechariah furthers his description of the Millennium and tells of the first coming of Jesus Christ.
Zechariah 8:4-19
There is a glorious future that awaits God’s chosen—that’s the picture we’ll see in this study of Zechariah 8. Follow along and take a look at the day when the people and land are restored by the grace of God.
Zechariah 7:11-8:3
Why doesn’t God answer our prayers? That’s the question the Israelites were asking, and it’s a question many of us ask too. Find out from the Old Testament prophet, Zechariah, why God didn’t answer them, and perhaps we’ll discover why He may not be answering us today.
Zechariah 7:8-11
Are you a good person? Dr. J. Vernon McGee answers that question for himself, and for you and me in this study of Zechariah 7. Follow along as he takes a look at traditions in the church today (baptism and communion) and how we should approach them.
Zechariah 7:4-7
The people in Israel were bored with their rituals, and God became bored with their worship. Follow along as their continuing story of disobedience and God’s reaction unfolds.
Zechariah 6:15-7:6
Do ceremonies and rituals matter in our worship? In this study, we’ll learn the key to answering this question is the state of the heart. As Dr. McGee tells us, “When the heart (our relationship with God) is right, the ritual is right; when the heart is wrong, the ritual is wrong.”
Zechariah 6:13-15
Zechariah’s ten visions tell a story and outline history for us. In this powerful study, we’ll be reminded that God’s purpose is not for nations to prosper, but for Jesus Christ to reign—and God’s purpose, not man’s, will prevail.
Zechariah 6:4-12
Whether you’re a practiced student of prophecy or you find it intimidating, you’ll appreciate this look at Zechariah’s visions. Dr. McGee zeros in on the four chariots of judgment Zechariah saw in his vision and tells us about the significance of “the branch” that represents Jesus Christ.
Zechariah 6:1-3
When will God say “enough” to evil? Find out in Zechariah’s tenth vision, as he pictures the world at war like history has never experienced before. As Dr. J. Vernon McGee reverently describes it, “the red horseman rides through the earth, and all hell will break loose.”
Zechariah 5:5-11
We continue our study of Zechariah’s bizarre, yet meaningful, vision of the flying scroll and learn how God will judge greed and commercialism in Israel.
Zechariah 5:1-4
Are the Ten Commandments a thing of the past? Or do they have value for us today? Discover the answer to that question as we study Zechariah’s important vision of the flying scroll.
Zechariah 4:4-14
Our exploration of what it takes to serve the Lord continues as we take a deeper look at Zechariah’s vision of the lampstand and learn more about the importance of the Holy Spirit within our lives.
Zechariah 4:1-3
Do you have what it takes to serve the Lord? Find out as we explore Zechariah’s vision of the lampstand and the important message it has for us today.
Zechariah 3:3-10
Can a Christian sin? If so, what are the consequences? Learn the answers to these questions and more as we dig deeper into Zechariah’s vision of Joshua.
Malachi
Malachi 4:2-6
The Sun of Righteousness in the Old Testament is also the Bright and Morning Star of the New Testament. Of course, that Star is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ—the focus and the “star” of the entire Word of God. This concluding study of Malachi examines God’s final words to Israel before a period of silence lasting 400 years.
Malachi 3:16-4,6
Do you have a guest book for visitors in your home? Or do you use one for special events like weddings and parties? God also keeps a “book of remembrance,” and we’re included. Malachi tells us more about this book as he leads us into his important prophecy regarding the Day of the Lord and the Sun of Righteousness.
Malachi 3:9-16
Malachi’s discussion of tithing continues as we explore the important connection between giving, fellowship, and worship. Will Israel heed these warnings? Will we?
Malachi 3:8
The people are robbing God of tithes and offerings, so God’s rebuke of Israel (through the prophet Malachi) continues. Join us as Malachi focuses on the uncomfortable subject of giving, and hear more about tithing under the Mosaic legal system and how it relates to us today. The answers may surprise you.
Malachi 3:1-7
Malachi has spoken in depth about Israel’s social sins; next he addresses their idolatry, fascination with the occult, lying, and idol worship. Dr. McGee calls these “religious sins.” As the story unfolds, God attempts to detour Israel from destruction while the people continue to ask Him sarcastic questions and avoid repentance.
Malachi 2:17-3:4
The people of Israel are bored with their ritualistic worship and God is tired of their hypocrisy. As many begin to ask, “Where is the God of justice?” God tells them about two messengers to come. (Hint: Look ahead to 400 years later—the answers are found in all four Gospels.)
Malachi 2:10-17
In our continuing study of divorce and marriage in Malachi chapter 2, Dr. McGee reminds us that marriage itself is sanctioned by God and is a picture of Christ’s love for us and our response to it. We’ll also hear more about how Israel’s social sins (and that of any nation) are closely linked to their destruction.
Malachi 2:10-15
What reasons for divorce were permitted under the Mosaic Law? What are the grounds for a Christian to divorce today? The answers are clear as the prophet Malachi speaks directly to Israel and addresses their sin.
Malachi 2:10-15
The divorce rate continues to run rampant. But according to Dr. J. Vernon McGee, divorce is not the problem, it’s merely a symptom. The real issue is marriage! Israel had the same problems. Malachi addresses the feigned innocence and pretend ignorance of those who defiled their marriages by telling them God no longer received their offerings. Find out how that relates to us as Dr. McGee takes us through an extended look at Malachi 2:10-15.
Malachi 2:10-15
One of the most frequent and controversial topics pastors and Bible teachers have to address is divorce. The prophet Malachi did, too. Find out what he says to the Israelites who were leaving their wives for foreign girls who worshipped idols and how His message applies to us today.
Malachi 2:2-9
Whether we are pastors, deacons, or church members, there is certainly a message for each of us in Malachi 2. As we study the life of Levi (and his descendants) we’re reminded that no one can serve God without a reverence for His name.
Malachi 1:13-2:2
“I’d rather be the worst sinner on this earth—even a gangster or murderer—than to be the minister who goes into the pulpit with an unbelieving heart and gives pious platitudes.” That’s what our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, tells us as we examine the three sins pastors must avoid and hear how God requires our sincerity and reverence in worship.
Malachi 1:9-13
The little book of Malachi can be uncomfortable to study. Instead of pointing fingers at others, it helps us take a serious look at our own lives and ask tough questions like, “Am I giving my best to God?” Learn to recognize the warnings the Israelites ignored (the insincerity and hypocrisy in their hearts and worship) and see how the same things are a concern for us.
Malachi 1:2-8
What does it mean to live a life after God? The Israelites and Malachi disagreed on the answer. We’ll watch Malachi address the priests’ arrogance and expose their blemished rituals as an outward show. As Dr. McGee tells us, “God was telling them what they sacrifice is really a picture of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the perfect Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Any imperfect offering was an insult to Him.”
Malachi 1:1
Who was Malachi? Was he a man or an angel? Together we examine the evidence and discover, ultimately, it’s “the message not the man that matters.” Travel with us through Malachi, and see him confront the Israelites on many of the same issues Nehemiah did, including: the defilement of the priesthood, the foreign marriages and divorce of Israelite wives, and neglecting their giving to God.

The fall of Babylon is described, and there are two areas: religious Babylon, and economic and political Babylon.
Revelation 17:6-18
Babylon the Great is pictured as an evil harlot, a phony church, and a city that rules over the wicked system. But the beast (Antichrist) will turn on the woman, and will burn her up. God sometimes turns the enemy's own swords against themselves.
Revelation 16:18-17:5
More of the Great Tribulation, when God judges what is referred to as "Mystery Babylon the Great, the mother of prostitutes and of the abominations on the earth." McGee says this represents a false church that departed from the Gospel.
Revelation 16:9-17
More about the "bowl judgments" of God during the Great Tribulation. It will be horrible and will be the last chance for sinful humanity to turn back to God; most, unfortunately, will not.

Revelation 10:8-11:2
John was told to eat the scroll, sweet as honey in the mouth, but bitter in the stomach. We are to "eat" (study, meditate on) the Word of God, and there are parts of it that are sweet… but some other parts that are bitter.
Revelation 10:2-7
Describing a time during the Great Tribulation when the "seven thunders" begin to sound. John was forbidden from writing down what the thunders said prior to Jesus's return to earth. We are not told everything!

Revelation 6:8-17
The Lamb of God continues to open the seven seals on the scroll containing the Title Deed of the Earth. The seal judgments mean just judgment, and great trouble for those dwelling on earth!
Revelation 6:1-7
The future time opening of the "seven seals" on the scroll, which is the Title Deed of the Earth. McGee interprets each seal as it is opened by Jesus, and it seems to have to do with the fearsome period called the Great Tribulation.
