  • Rev Ch 6-7 Classnotes 2018
    Revelation Notes 2020 - Laurelwood 34 What will happen on earth (Rev. 6-19) is an extension of the authority of the Lamb whom John saw in heaven (Rev. 4-5). Ever since the flood, this wicked world has been storing up wrath for the Day of Wrath (Rom. 2:5). All of God's stored-up wrath is contained in the 7-sealed scroll that was given to the Glorious Lamb, Jesus Christ, to judge the whole world (Rev. 5:7). All judgment has been given to Jesus Christ (John 5:22-23), the Lamb, as if slain. We can't separate some of these judgements as God's wrath and others as Satan's wrath (cf. Job). Though God uses Satan to do it, all judgment (wrath) comes from the nail-scarred hands of the Glorious Lamb, Jesus Christ. Chapter 6 starts the 7-year Tribulation Period known as Daniel's 70th Week, or the "time of Jacob's Trouble." Purpose of the Tribulation: 1) prepare Israel for her Messiah; 2) pour out judgment on unbelieving world. The Church has been raptured to heaven -- Chart: Pre-Tribulation Rapture. Just before chapter 6 events, the rapture of Church-age saints removes the Restrainer of evil -- the indwelling Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit resumes His pre-Pentecost ministry. When the Restrainer is taken away, the Day of the Lord begins (2 Th. 2). It begins with unveiling the identity of the Man of Lawlessness (Antichrist). It begins with the 7 seal judgments here in chapter 6. Each series of 7 judgments moves in chronological progression through the Tribulation with ever-increasing intensity.

  • Left Behind and Getting Ahead by DAVID LYLE JEFFREY
    70 Copyright © 2002 The Center for Christian Ethics at Baylor University Left Behind and Getting Ahead BY DAVID LYLE JEFFREY The Left Behind series, even in its ambiguous title, preys upon our worries about whether we really are saved and about being “behind” the general culture, “out of touch” with standards of fashion. The success of this kind of fictionalized Christianity should make us fear that the appetites of the church have become too much like the appetites of the world. There’s no time to change your mind. The Son has come, and you’ve been left behind. (Larry Norman, “I Wish We’d All Been Ready,” 1969) f commercial success is a reliable measure of God’s blessing, or if it faithfully authenticates a prophetic proclamation, then the millions Iupon millions of sales for the multi-volume Left Behind series are none too many for their enthusiastic readers. Five of the nine volumes already released (Apollyon; Assassins; The Indwelling; The Mark; and Desecration) stand at or near the top of best-seller lists from the New York Times to Publisher’s Weekly, making this, the publisher is happy to say, “the fastest selling fiction series ever.” It might even seem that the joint efforts of prophecy scholar and pastor Tim LaHaye and his amanuensis Jerry B. Jenkins have risen to such unprecedented heights of success that the gal- axy of great world literature (most of which, of course, sold rather poorly in their author’s lifetimes) has been forever altered. Despite their 60 to 600 year head start, Dante, Shakespeare, Milton, Bunyan, and Tolkien had bet- ter look to their laurels.
