...What does the future hold for me as a child of God? ...How can I properly prepare to face the future? The good news is that you do not have to be fearful about the future because God has a divine plan He is working out in this world. Nothing can alter it. Nothing can abort it. You do not have to be confused about the future because through this study you will receive the keys to understanding biblical prophecy as you study the New Testament book of Revelation. This study is an exciting spiritual journey into the future. On the island of Patmos, John didn't receive a dry, dead, theological explanation of future events. He received a powerful, dynamic, life-changing prophetic revelation. He received a revelation of Christ in all His glory, he saw into the throne room of Heaven, and he received a supernatural unveiling of God’s end- time plan. You will receive the same exciting revelation as you study this manual. In the Introductory Unit, you will learn what prophecy is, how God commissioned His prophets, the source, purpose, and importance of biblical prophecy. You will also learn keys for understanding biblical prophecy. The Introduction To Revelation provides an overview of the book and keys to interpreting it. The remainder of the study will guide you step-by-step through the book of Revelation. The material is divided into twelve sections which consist of short, easy to understand chapters. You may want to do one section a month during the coming year. You might also want to use the material to teach a weekly Bible study, Sunday school class, or college course, doing one section per week for a twelve week quarter semester. Each lesson includes a self-test so you can review what you have learned and check your progress. The Appendices include a Prophetic Fast Track with the most frequently asked questions about prophecy, special charts, and outlines on the Old Testament prophetic books which will take you even deeper into the prophecies of God’s Word. Are you ready to begin your spiritual journey into the future? Grab your Bible and let’s get started! I OBJECTIVES Upon conclusion of this study you will be able to: C Use spiritual keys to unlock the mysteries of Biblical prophecy. C Provide an overview of the book of Revelation and the end-times. C Summarize and apply the messages to the churches of Revelation. C Properly interpret future events including: C The rapture. C The Tribulation. C Important personages in God’s end-time plan. C Satan’s end-time trinity. C The seal, trumpet, and vial judgments of Revelation. C The final battles. C The Millennial reign of Christ. C The resurrections. C Final judgment. C Describe Heaven and Hell as they are depicted in the book of Revelation. C Use the skills you have learned to continue your study of other prophetic books of the Bible. C Apply what you have learned to prepare yourself and others for the future. II INTRODUCTION SECTION THE PROPHETIC WORD OF GOD The word "prophecy" means to speak forth. Bible prophecy includes three basic kinds of speaking forth: 1. A message of inspiration from God. 2. Prediction of future events in God's eternal plan. 3. An interpretation for man of the acts of God. God commissioned each prophet of the Bible to fulfill a particular role in His plan. C As interpreters they explained God's acts to men. C As spokesmen they voiced God's truth. They spoke messages of hope and inspiration. C As prophets they predicted future events in God's plan through revelation given by the Holy Spirit. The predictions of Bible prophecy are beyond the power of human ability. They include a sufficient number of details to eliminate speculation or guessing. There are two basic ways in which God spoke through the prophets. THE SPOKEN WORD: The method most often used was the spoken word. God would tell the prophet the words to speak. For example, God said to the prophet Jeremiah: ...for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.

Aeonsgate is a Doom project and it may become a cult . This first record called "Pentalpha" is a one hour long song that tells a sad, romantic and very heavy -doomy story of someone's first minutes of death. Aeonsgate is the brainchild of Jondix (guitar player and founder of Great Coven, EIght Hands for Kali and Ätman-Acron). This time he is surrounded by amazing musicians. Mats Leven ( Krux, Malmsteen, Therion, Candlemass,...) is the singer and his agonic and beautiful voice makes the song as sad and dark as you can get.

  • 122 Revelation Outline
    AGAPE BIBLE COLLEGE 321 North Penelope, Belton, TX 76513 REVELATION Curriculum Provided by: Harvestime International Network http://harvestime.org REVELATION THE LEGACY BIBLE OUTLINE SERIES 8 Harvestime International Institute THE LEGACY BIBLE OUTLINE SERIES The Legacy Bible Outline Series is a study of the Bible using the text of the Bible itself. The series outlines books of the Bible in simple format, providing commentary only as needed to enhance understanding. Text-based questions are also included for every chapter. We suggest you create a notebook for each book of the Bible. Insert the outlines in your notebooks and add your own study notes. Each time you study a book, you can easily append the outlines to continuously expand the materials. The Legacy Bible Outline Series is designed so you can easily personalize it. The files for the series are in MS Word format to enable you to revise, input your own notes, change page numbers, and alter the layout as needed. You can also create your own outlines for other books of the Bible using this format The text of the King James Version is included in The Legacy Bible Outline Series to enable you to underline and make notes in the actual text as part of your study. Unlike a Bible which will eventually wear out, you can photocopy worn pages if they need to be replaced--which means you won’t lose your notes and underlining. Be sure to read the text in other versions of the Bible also, as different translations will greatly enhance your study. You can print copies of the outlines for your students or--a more cost-effective method--copy the files to a CD ROM and let each student print out their own outlines.

  • Portrait of an Artist
    atR: I'm going through this phase where I feel like I haven't said anything meaningful or interesting or witty for several months now. I read so many interviews with artists and I listen to a lot of public radio where authors and musicians and various creative people are constantly talking about their ideas. Everyone is so articulate and colorful. I'm feeling very run-of-the-mill. ACM: We were looking back over the newsletter you send out. It's very thoughtful and introspective and mentions a little background on each of you. What do you do to entertain yourself when you go to a town to do a show... atR: Well ... , the antidote for touring, for most of us, is seeking out antiquarian and rare edition bookshops where we can fill the gaps in our libraries ... We're fairly bookish people. Bookshops are the most popular haunts, but Brian enjoys wooing nubile girls, Ric likes to ... continued on page 6 selecting bands to interview: for example Over the Rhine was requested by several subscribers for an interview. There are so many other bands and topics of interest that we want to cover, From the Editor nationally and internationally; also, we'd like to cover (and be It's June 7, 1992 and we're on time with Issue 9. Do we get some involved with) local growth in the Pacific Northwest. Thanks kind of reward for being on time? I didn't think Issue 8 would for the great ideas. We'll print another reader survey with Issue ever get done.
