The Tribulation Saints | Revelation Chapter 7
At the end of the first half of the Tribulation, the world seems like it’s about to be torn apart by just the beginnings of the judgments of God. The inhabitants of the earth are left wondering in fear, who will be able to survive this. Revelation chapter 7 answers that question (the 144,000 Jews), but continues to reveal the massive number of deaths that will mount during the relentless persecution of Christians.
What is the Tribulation? | Revelation Chapters 6-19
Exactly what is the Tribulation and how do we understand it? Briefly, it is a period of seven years in which God in dealing with the Jewish people will also bring judgments upon the whole world. This prophetic unveiling is contained in Revelation chapters 6-19. It ends with the Return of Jesus in the 2nd Advent and the restoration of Israel and the blessings of the Millennial Kingdom.
The Tribulation Begins | Revelation Chapter 6
The Tribulation is the 7 year period of God’s dealing with the Jewish people while at the same time bringing judgment to the Gentile world. It is during the first 3 1/2 years that the anti-Christ rises to power; and those judgments will be specifically aimed at his domain. So, in Revelation 6 the judgments begin as we enter the first half of the Tribulation with the rise of the Anti-Christ.
The Death of Sarah | Genesis Chapter 23
After Abraham’s victory of faith in chapter 22, we now transition our focus on Isaac. But before this, Sarah dies. This chapter serves two main purposes for us: It shows Abraham’s connection to the Land of Canaan (the Promised Land) as his home land; and it serves as a downpayment for God’s future fulfillment in the day that He gives Abraham all that He has promised him.
The Lamb Takes the Scroll | Revelation Chapter 5
After the churches (Revelation 3-4: the church age), John was invited to the throne room of heaven. There he saw God sitting upon His glorious throne surrounded by angels and elders. But the key to understanding Revelation 4 and 5 is centered on the BOOK that He is holding in his right hand. No one, other than the Lamb of God – Jesus, the Messiah – is worthy to receive the book and reveal its contents.
The Throne Room of God | Revelation Chapter 4
Now that the church has been raptured and is in heaven with the Lord Jesus, we prepare for the Tribulation Period. But before it begins, we are introduced to God on His glorious throne preparing to give this revelation to Jesus, the Lamb of God.
Abraham’s Greatest Test | Genesis Chapter 22
Abraham’s greatest act of faith is his willingness to sacrifice his only son. Much of this depicts what God the Father will do through His own Son, Jesus the Messiah many centuries later.
Is the Trinity Found in the Old Testament?
It has often been said that the concept of the Trinity is not found in the Old Testament. And also it is argued that the fathers had no idea of such an understanding of God’s person. But is this true? Join me in this study today as we examine the Hebrew text of Genesis 20:13 for an insight into this issue.
Letter to the Church of Laodicea | Revelation 3:14-22
In His final letter to the last church, Jesus indicates that this is a totally unsaved church. Although they are rich in material prosperity, they are spiritually impoverished and bankrupt. This is the picture of today’s church – the church of the last days.
Letter to the Church of Philadelphia | Revelation 3:7-13
After the Reformation period was the period of evangelism – Philadelphia (1700-1900). Like Smyrna, Jesus had nothing bad to say about this church. He graciously opened the door for evangelism and Christian missionary work all over the world.
Isaac is Born | Genesis Chapter 21
After Abraham’s momentary lapse of faith (and the rescue of Sarah – again [Genesis chapter 20]), God fulfills his promise to Abraham, and Isaac is born. There is much celebrating until Ishmael is seen taunting Isaac and Sarah demands that he and his mother Hagar be sent away.
Letter to the Church of Sardis | Revelation 3:1-6
After the Dark Ages (Church of Thyatira – 600-1500AD) was the Protestant Reformation period from 1500-1700AD. From this time period the church benefitted from a number of concrete doctrinal and foundational truths that were re-established for Christendom.
