  • The Seven Last Plagues Lesson #11 for March 16, 2019 Scriptures: Revelation 15:1,4; 7:1-3; 14:9-10; 16:1-12,16; 17:1; Daniel 5; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12
    The Book of Revelation The Seven Last Plagues Lesson #11 for March 16, 2019 Scriptures: Revelation 15:1,4; 7:1-3; 14:9-10; 16:1-12,16; 17:1; Daniel 5; 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12. 1. Revelation 15 and especially 16 describe what are known as the seven last plagues. However, Revelation 15:2-4 talk about a group of people standing on the sea of glass in heaven, praising and honoring God. How is that related? Did John change the subject? 2. Revelation 15:5-8 set up the heavenly context for the giving of the seven last plagues. It is important to notice that no one is in the temple in heaven when these plagues fall. Normally, the throne room in heaven is full of millions of heavenly beings. This means that the events connected to the seven last plagues will take place after the close of probation. 3. But, the most important question to ask about the seven last plagues is who is the one that causes those seven last plagues? And what is the purpose of having seven final plagues if probation is closed and if no one will change his/her mind? An important verse to look at in connection with the seven last plagues is Revelation 11:18. It talks about a time of judgment when those who destroy the earth will be destroyed. 4. The group of people described in Revelation 15:1-4 will be victorious “over the beast, over his image and over his mark and over the number of his name.” (NKJV*) So, these people certainly cannot be those who are the main brunt of the seven last plagues.

  • “Final Things Concerning the Seven Seals, Part 2” Revelation 7:1-17 March 14, 2021
    Screen 1 Screen 2 “Final Things Concerning the Seven Seals, Part 2” Revelation 7:1-17 March 14, 2021 Last week, we discussed the six seals of Revelation 6 (entire chapter). WOW! What an intense chapter – the most intense chapter so far, in my opinion, that we have discussed. We discussed the four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in verses 1-8, (with the breaking of the first four seals), the “souls of those under the altar” (verse 9) in Heaven in verses 9-11 (breaking of the fifth seal), and finally in verses 12-17 (breaking of the sixth seal). When does all of this happen, specifically? I believe this particularly, even though most everything mentioned has already happened (past) and is currently happening (present) (minus maybe the killing of one fourth of the entire earthly population). I believe this is yet (future) to happen during the “Great Tribulation” – i.e. the 70th 7 of Daniel 9:24-27. Arguably these events occur during all seven years of that time prophesied or during the three and a half years of that time (depending on who you read, because there is supposedly three and a half years of false peace and three and a half years of serious tribulation). This is the time period leading up to the second coming of our Lord, Jesus. Now, read: Revelation 6:12-17 “12 When he opened the sixth seal, I looked, and Screen 3 behold, there was a great earthquake, and the sun became black as sackcloth, the full moon became like blood, 13 and the stars of the sky fell to the earth as the fig tree sheds its winter fruit when shaken by a gale.

  • Where Did They Come From? Revelation 7:9-17 a Sermon Preached in Page Auditorium on April 17, 2016 by the Rev
    Where Did They Come From? Revelation 7:9-17 A Sermon preached in Page Auditorium on April 17, 2016 by the Rev. Dr. Luke A. Powery Each week we pray, “on earth as it is in heaven” because our present doesn’t yet match God’s promise so we keep striving, praying, moving, pressing, working, going to church, attending bible studies, singing hymns, giving alms, serving in the community, and taking communion. These are some signs that we desire “on earth as it is in heaven.” We want God’s future now, God’s future present. So many have yearned and dreamed for this moment that there are all kinds of end of the world predictions throughout history. Well before the end time imaginary predictions of the Left Behind book series, or the visions of Harold Camping (may he rest in peace), there was the year 1806. In that year, a domesticated hen in Leeds, England, appeared to lay eggs inscribed with the message “Christ is coming.” Great numbers of people reportedly went to see this hen and began to despair of the coming Judgment Day. It was soon discovered, however, that the eggs were not in fact prophetic messages of the future but the work of their owner, who had been writing on the eggs in ink and reinserting them into the poor hen’s body. If it was the end of anything, it was the end of that poor hen! But well before hens or Harolds, well before any of these, there is the revelation of John, literally the ‘apocalypse’ of John.

  • I. the Work of the Two-Horn Beast of the Earth (Rev. 13:11-15)
    The Revelation of Jesus Christ The TRINITY of EVIL: Satan, the Antichrist (Beast of the Sea), and the False Prophet (Beast of the Earth) Revelation 13:11-18 Introduction In last week's study, we were introduced to the "beast of the sea", who is identified as the Antichrist. The Antichrist is empowered by Satan, and eventually rules as a political and military genius over the earth during the second half of the 70th Week of Daniel. The Antichrist will rule the world as the leader of the revived Roman Empire. In today's passage, we are introduced to the "beast of the earth", who is soon identified as the "False Prophet". Whereas the Antichrist is a political and military leader, the False Prophet is a religious leader. The reader is now aware of Satan's unholy trinity. Satan is the counterfeit of God the Father, the Antichrist is the blasphemous counterfeit of the Son, and the False Prophet is the deceptive counterfeit of the Holy Spirit. Like Ahab and Jezebel joined the religious priests of Baal, so the Antichrist and the False Prophet, combine political and religious power to rule over the world. I. The Work of the Two-Horn Beast of the Earth (Rev. 13:11-15) 11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spoke as a dragon. 12 He exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence. And he makes the earth and those who live on it worship the first beast, whose fatal wound was healed.

  • THE DESTRUCTION of RELIGIOUS BABYLON Revelation 17
    THE DESTRUCTION OF RELIGIOUS BABYLON Revelation 17 Revelation chapters 17 and 18 are an interlude in the sequence of Tribulation events. These chapters deal with the destruction of religious and economic Babylon. Dr. Charles Ryrie explains why Babylon is the figure used to describe these forces in the last days. Babylon has had a long and consistently dishonorable history. It had its beginnings around 3000 B.C. under Nimrod (Gen. 10:8–10). The tower of Babel (Gen. 11:1–9) was built to prevent people from scattering throughout the earth, in direct defiance of God's command to do so. Hammurabi made Babylon a religious power about 1600 B.C. by making Marduk god of the city of Babylon and head of a pantheon of 1,300 deities. Extra-biblical sources indicate that the wife of Nimrod became the head of the Babylonian mysteries, which consisted of religious rites that were part of the worship of idols in Babylon. Her name was Semiramis, and she supposedly gave birth to a son, Tammuz, who claimed to be a savior and the fulfillment of the promise given to Eve in Genesis 3:15. This anti-God Babylonian religion is alluded to in Ezekiel 8:14…, Ezekiel 8:14 (ESV) 14 Then he brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the house of the LORD, and behold, there sat women weeping for Tammuz. Jeremiah 7:18…, Jeremiah 7:17–18 (ESV) 17 Do you not see what they are doing in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? 18 The children gather wood, the fathers kindle fire, and the women knead dough, to make cakes for the queen of heaven.

  • Who Are the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse? Revelation 6:1-17 Compass Church Life Group Lessons November #1
    Who Are The 4 Horsemen Of The Apocalypse? Revelation 6:1-17 Compass Church Life Group Lessons November #1 1. The 4 horsemen is a term common in our culture for bad things coming. Let’s read the original source for this term and do so carefully for comprehension. Read the passage at least 2 times and underline key words. • Where do the horsemen come from? Whose authority are they under? • What does each do? White horse Red horse Black horse Pale horse (Rem. Clint’s movie) • Sum up in your own words the message of this chapter. • What is the implication for YOU as you live this week? On a scale of 1 to 10 how much does that affect you during the week? 2. Consider this quote from the sermon: Dosteovsky is one of the greatest novelists in history. In The Brothers Karamozov he creates a character who is determined to prove atheism is true and Christianity is a lie. Ivan is his name. He keeps a notebook in which he records every evil, every suffering, every tragedy he hears of. This notebook of evil and suffering is his proof against God. Either God does not exist, or if He does exist, He is cruel and indifferent and unloving because He does not put an end to evil. Of course, the message of this Book is that at The End of time God will put an end to evil. But in the MEANTIME, before the End of Time, the Christian life looked like a LOSER’S LIFE. It certainly did when Domitian was emperor.

  • The Service of Witness to the Resurrection
    THE SERVICE OF WITNESS TO THE RESURRECTION Information, guidelines, and policies to assist in planning a memorial service. The name of the service on the occasion of death is ‘The Service of Witness to the Resurrection,’ which reflects our fundamental beliefs that, in Christ, death has been conquered and the promise of eternal life is affirmed. 1200 Marquette Avenue, Minneapolis, MN 55403 612.332.3421 — westminstermpls.org PURPOSE OF THIS BOOKLET The purpose of this booklet is to assist members and friends in making arrangements and planning a service of remembrance at the time of the death of a loved one. Our Christian theology shapes not only our beliefs about death, but also how we celebrate the life of the one who has died. We trust that you will accept this booklet in the spirit it is offered—with joyful gratitude born of the conviction that, “neither death nor life…nor anything else in all creation, has the power to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8) The Congregational Care Council of Westminster Presbyterian Church SERVICES ON THE OCCASION OF DEATH The name of the service on the occasion of death is ‘The Service of Witness to the Resurrection,’ reflecting our fundamental beliefs that, in Christ, death has been conquered, and the promise of eternal life is affirmed. The presence or absence of a casket or urn does not change the name or purpose of the service. The uniqueness of the Christian faith is especially apparent when death comes. Our hope of eternal life is based not upon a person’s worth, but upon the graciousness of God.

  • PROPHECY MAKES STRANGE BEDFELLOWS: on the HISTORY of IDENTIFYING the ANTICHRIST . . . Stephen J. Nichols
    JETS 44/1 (March 2001) 75–85 PROPHECY MAKES STRANGE BEDFELLOWS: ON THE HISTORY OF IDENTIFYING THE ANTICHRIST STEPHEN J. NICHOLS* In the history of American literature, perhaps no two stranger bedfellows exist than Herman Melville’s naïve but adventurous Ishmael and the skillful harpooner but strangely tattooed, and, one might add, cannibalistic, Quee- queg. Upon barely observing Queequeg’s decorated body, the skull he is un- able to sell, and the harpoon which never left his side, in the dark of the room, Ishmael, fearing for his life, mutters, “Yes it’s just as I thought, he’s a terrible bedfellow.” That is, no stranger bedfellows, until one considers a particular point of prophetic interpretation, namely, identifying the anti- christ. What do the eschatologies of J. Dwight Pentecost and John Calvin have in common? Hal Lindsey and Jonathan Edwards? Increase Mather and Arno C. Gaebelein? On the one hand, the answer is not much. Such diˆerent eschatologies, nonetheless, yield a rather surprising connection. All of these, as well as a host of others, identify the Pope as the antichrist. Not only is this commonality strange given the diˆerent theological per- spectives and hermeneutics of these ˜gures, it also confounds understand- ing given the distance—chronological, geographical, and sociological— between them. I suppose one can conclude that in light of the similar exe- getical conclusion in spite of such theological, hermeneutical, and other diˆerences, this is a clear case of the text triumphing over tradition, inter- pretation trumping theology. In other words, if these interpreters under- stand the antichrist to be the Pope, then, goes the logic, they are right.
