  • 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.

  • 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.

  • A Re-Examination of the Millennium in Rev 20:1–6: Consummation and Recapitulation
    JETS 44/2 (June 2001) 237–51 A RE-EXAMINATION OF THE MILLENNIUM IN REV 20:1–6: CONSUMMATION AND RECAPITULATION dave mathewson* i. introduction The question of the so-called millennial kingdom in Rev 20:1–6 continues to be a source of fascination in evangelical discussion and dialogue.1 The purpose of this article is to re-examine the question of the millennial king- dom as articulated in Rev 20:1–6. More specifically, this article will consider the meaning and function of 20:1–6 within Revelation as it relates to the contemporary debate about whether this section is best understood within a premillennial or amillennial framework. Hermeneutically, most of the de- bate has centered around how literally the reference to the one thousand years in 20:1–6 should be taken and, more importantly, the relationship be- tween 20:1–6 and 19:11–21. Does the thousand year period in 20:1–6 re- fer to a more or less literal period of time?2 Or should it be understood more symbolically? Does 20:1–6 follow 19:11–21 chronologically, with the one thou- sand years featuring a Zwischenreich (premillennialism), or does the final battle in 20:7–10 recapitulate the battle in 19:11–21, with the reference to the one thousand years in 20:1–6 extending all the way back to the first coming of Christ (amillennialism)?3 * Dave Mathewson is instructor in New Testament at Oak Hills Christian College, 1600 Oak Hills Road SW, Bemidji, MN 56601. 1 Cf.

  • Sermon Revelation 15-16
    Revelation 15-16 12th November, 2017 Rev. Bruce Stanley Revelation 15:1-8; Revelation 16:1-17 “The final battle” Moving home Our family have moved home 9 times. It’s never been what I would call a pleasant experience. The first few times weren’t too bad. 5 or 6 hours. But as our family grew, the moves became bigger. Longer. More painful. The longest so far was 12 hours. The day would BEGIN well. Everything is finally packed. And you’re standing there. Waiting for the truck to arrive. Ready to go, go , go! And it’s an exciting moment when the truck finally pulls into the driveway. But you also know what’s ahead. Hours of pain. Revelation is the story of the final move of humanity. It’s the story of humanity moving home into eternity. We’re waiting for the truck to arrive. And Revelation tells us what the move is going to be like. Things are going to happen. Unpleasant things. Difficult things. Harsh things. But for the followers of Jesus, we have assurance that, no matter what we face, we will be safe and our place in heaven is absolutely secure. We know where we are moving to. But what is ahead is still challenging. And there’s lots of images to reflect on. So the aim today is to look at those images and understand what they mean for us today. The sea and fire So we begin with a vision of God’s people standing on a sea of glass with fire underneath.

  • Revelation 13:11-18 - Who Is Afraid of the Number 666? Be Wise!
    Revelation 13:11-18 - Who is afraid of the number 666? Be wise! - Author: Evert Jan Hempenius © 2018 www.christianstudylibrary.org For any questions about this Scripture passage or the notes, please contact us through the Contact Us tab on the website. Foreword Who is afraid of the number 666 (Revelation 13:18)? I’m not! It is not the number of Satan, the devil, the serpent, the dragon. It is not the number of the Antichrist. It is just the number of man. It is the number of a man or human, who has godly aspirations. The number 666 is a so-called triangle number. This means that a triangle can be made by using for instance 666 pebbles, just like a triangle can be made from three, six or ten pebbles. Within the context of Revelation, triangle numbers refer to the godly realm. Revelation 13:11-18 describes the mechanisms of persecution when the political powers and ideologies ask the predominant religion od atheism for support of their agenda. This calls for wisdom not for fear. The main question is, how to deal as Christian with a man, an Emperor, a government, an ideology with godly aspirations and requesting worship and total obedience from the people of a nation. A Christian and the church must know that Christ has overcome all powers, and all ideologies (Revelation 11:15). Revelation 13:1-18 opens our eyes to the mechanisms of past and modern-day persecutions. The context, form and structure, theological notes, technical and hermeneutical notes given in this sermon outline show some overlap with other sermon outlines taken from the book of Revelation.

    The Beast, The Whore, The Bride & The Groom Revelation 12-19 Revelation 12:1-6 The Woman & Dragon Act 2: After the Seventh Trumpet - Setting: Heaven moving to Earth. - The Woman with the Sun, Moon and Crown: Giving Birth (12:2) - The Red Dragon (Satan), with his tail he sweeps a third of the stars down from heaven. He opposes the Woman (12:3-4) - The Child: Identified as Jesus, was caught up to Heaven. The Woman Retreats into the wilderness. (12:5-6) Revelation 12:7-12 The Heavenly War Michael and His Angels declare war on the Dragon Satan is Cast Down with his minions Heaven Rejoices: “Now Salvation the of our Christ has come” Revelation 12:13-17 The Woman & The Dragon Part 2 The Dragon Pursues her and the earth aids the woman. The earth opens its mouth to swallow the water that the Dragon intends to destroy her with. The Dragon then pursues her children, attempting to make war with them. Discussion Question #1 Koester notes that the woman in labor should be understood as the people of God, and notes, “Christian readers might naturally identify her with Mary… By the end of the chapter, however, it becomes clear that the woman is the mother of all believers…” (123) Is this interpretation of the woman valid? Why or why not? Revelation 13: The Beasts ● The Beast from the Sea (13:1-10): 10 Horns and 7 Heads and 10 Diadems. It was worshipped, given authority to conquer and was utterly blasphemous. Everyone worshipped it except those who were found in the Book of Life.

  • Millennialism, Rapture and “Left Behind” Literature. Analysing a Major Cultural Phenomenon in Recent Times
    start page: 163 Stellenbosch Theological Journal 2019, Vol 5, No 1, 163–190 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.17570/stj.2019.v5n1.a09 Online ISSN 2413-9467 | Print ISSN 2413-9459 2019 © Pieter de Waal Neethling Trust Millennialism, rapture and “Left Behind” literature. Analysing a major cultural phenomenon in recent times De Villers, Pieter GR University of the Free State, Bloemfontein, South Africa [email protected] Abstract This article represents a research overview of the nature, historical roots, social contexts and growth of millennialism as a remarkable religious and cultural phenomenon in modern times. It firstly investigates the notions of eschatology, millennialism and rapture that characterize millennialism. It then analyses how and why millennialism that seems to have been a marginal phenomenon, became prominent in the United States through the evangelistic activities of Darby, initially an unknown pastor of a minuscule faith community from England and later a household name in the global religious discourse. It analyses how millennialism grew to play a key role in the religious, social and political discourse of the twentieth century. It finally analyses how Darby’s ideas are illuminated when they are placed within the context of modern England in the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth century. In a conclusion some key challenges of the place and role of millennialism as a movement that reasserts itself continuously, are spelled out in the light of this history. Keywords Eschatology; millennialism; chiliasm; rapture; dispensationalism; J.N. Darby; Joseph Mede; Johann Heinrich Alsted; “Left Behind” literature. 1. Eschatology and millennialism Christianity is essentially an eschatological movement that proclaims the fulfilment of the divine promises in Hebrew Scriptures in the earthly ministry of Christ, but it also harbours the expectation of an ultimate fulfilment of Christ’s second coming with the new world of God that will replace the existing evil dispensation.
