Experiencing God – Unit 1 Leggo That Ego
From the time we are born, most of us are self-centered. As infants, we cry to have our needs met: to be held, fed, changed, entertained, and comforted. As children, we cry, pout, and pitch temper tantrums to get what we want, when we want it, and how we want it. In our teenage years,Continue reading “Experiencing God – Unit 1 Leggo That Ego”
BIG NEWS
For the past seven months, we’ve been diving into the Book of Revelation. There has been a lot of symbolism, a great deal of warnings and horrific images, and an infinite amount of mercy. The grand finale will soon take place. The second coming of Jesus. This is different from the Rapture. In our terminology,Continue reading “BIG NEWS”
Defiant, Not Repentant
Revelation 6 tells of the seven seals that will be broken. These broken seals will release the four horses which are the Antichrist, war and bloodshed, famine, pestilence and death. The remaining broken seals will produce cries for judgment from the martyrs under the altar, and a great earthquake. The last seal will result inContinue reading “Defiant, Not Repentant”
Time to Reap and Weep
Last week we learned more about the Antichrist and the false prophet. We discussed their authority, power, and the threatening way they will obtain followers. After such a dismal chapter of doom and gloom, God, in His mercy, gives us another refreshing and encouraging commercial break in chapter 14. Let me start off by remindingContinue reading “Time to Reap and Weep”
Evil and the Beasts
In Revelation 12, we discussed three of the major characters of the Tribulation period. The woman who represents Israel. The child who is Jesus. The dragon who is the symbol for Satan. Today in Revelation 13, we’re going to discuss two other major players. Revelation 13 is divided into two sections. Verses 1-10 are allContinue reading “Evil and the Beasts”
The Bittersweetness of God’s Word
The sixth trumpet was sounded last week and four angels (most likely fallen angels) who were bound up at the Euphrates were released for the purpose of killing 1/3 of those left behind. We talked last week that between the saved people being raptured, plus the ¼ of mankind who will be killed by theContinue reading “The Bittersweetness of God’s Word”
Cicadas Have Nothing on These Locusts!
Before we get into chapter 9, let’s go over the most widely accepted itinerary of the Tribulation. Different people have different thoughts on this, but I’m going on the beliefs of Warren Wiersbe, Tony Evans, etc. The first thing to occur is the rapture of believers. Non-believers, or those who are left behind, will stillContinue reading “Cicadas Have Nothing on These Locusts!”
Commercial Break of Mercy
Last week, our discussion included war, famine, death, pestilence, earthquake, blackened sun, red moon, and falling stars (not the romantic kind that people wish upon). The first six seals were opened. “Revelation 7 serves as an interlude between the sixth and seventh seals. It carries forth the grand narrative of God’s cosmic plan, providing aContinue reading “Commercial Break of Mercy”
