The Dragon, the Woman & Her Child

Scott Risley

Revelation 12:1-18

We are currently in a battle between the dragon (Satan), the Woman (Israel), and her child (Jesus) that will come to a close after the tribulation. During this time, believing Jews will flee and be protected by God. We should be aware of the strategies Satan uses in this battle against us to be prepared. In the end, God will ultimately win this battle and the war at large. Which side will you be on?

Other Reflections on the Tribulation

Dennis McCallum

Revelation 10:1-11:14

John relays more information from his vision, while leaving some information out on purpose. He mentions the Temple, which could be confusing because there is no Temple. Ezekiel 40-48 is used to help interpret this, leading to the following conclusions: there will be a literal rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem; there will be two witnesses who are real men; and their message of judgment will be fulfilled. God is telling us the future of the world so we can respond.

God's Eternal Kingdom (Part 3)

Gary DeLashmutt

Genesis 3:17-19

The interior of the New Jerusalem contains a garden which symbolizes its restorative power. In the Garden of Eden, man first experienced theological, psychological, and ecological separation. This restoration with God, ourselves, and nature is provided only through Jesus' sacrificial death. Those who have received this gift should then tell others.

God's Eternal Kingdom (Part 2)

Gary DeLashmutt

Revelation 21:9-27

This passage on the New Jerusalem is mainly symbolic, but indicate literal truths about its glory. It will be populated by God's people, full of the beauty of perfect creation, full of human creativity, utterly secure, and pervaded by God's presence. Christians who focus on their inheritance in this kingdom will have greater resilience in adversity.

Heaven

Jenny Hale

Revelation 22

Building off of John's description of the New Jerusalem, this passage describes the incredible future that awaits Christians in Heaven. Among the qualities listed are no more death, sorrow, crying, or pain; no more evil; and God's presence forever! This knowledge of eternity should affect Christians by encouraging them to want to see more people there with them. It also allows Christians to know that their suffering is temporary.

The Seven Trumpets

Dennis McCallum

Revelation 8:1-9:21

John's vision of the opening of the seals continues when the Lamb of God opens the seventh. Terrible disasters and wars occur, and demons are unleashed. Despite all of the evidence of God, people still do not turn to Him. John's vision is a warning of how living a life without God is always self-destructive and dangerous.

I Will Make Everything New

Jeff Gordon

Revelation 21:1-6

Expanding on John's vision of the New Jerusalem, this passage and other verses referenced explain many other things that God will make new. These apply to Christians and include a new standing before God, a new relationship with Him, a new role and purpose, a new community and destiny, and a new power. This is something to anticipate and be excited about, and it is open to anyone who hears this message and responds.

The Temple and the Two Witnesses

Scott Risley

Revelation 10:1-11:14

In the last days there will be a physical temple and two witnesses through which God will give a final plea to his creation as a whole to turn to him and receive forgiveness. These events are literal and we have current signs that could easily lead to the fulfillment of these prophecies.

Revelation and Christmas

Jeff Gordon

Revelation 21

Continuing to consider Heaven, this passage brings one to consider why God would welcome sinners into Heaven. Through this and other verses in the Bible, it is clear that He does this out of a desire to relate with His people. God created people in His image, and He worked through them to restore their relationship with Him. The new "Temple" is revealed to be God now dwelling with His people, instead of separately from them. There is a large reference from Tozer's "The Pursuit of God".
