Introduction: Exciting days ahead! We are studying the Book of Revelation. Frankly, I prefer studies of a book, rather than a topic. Of the books in the Bible, Revelation is one of the most interesting, exciting, and complicated. Our challenge lies ahead! Let's pl...

Introduction: Would you like to know the future? The worrisome part is that you might not like your future! Our study this week has a slightly different approach. Instead of merely giving us information about the future, it tells us that our future is in the hands...

Introduction: We have a lot to cover this week! Scholars believe that John's message to each of the local churches is also a prophetic message to the Christian church at various times in its history. Each local church has certain characteristics and problems that...

Introduction: Have you visited a beautiful home and noticed a partially open door? Did you want to peek inside? What pulled you to look? That is how our study of Revelation this week begins! What we will see inside is amazing! Let's dive into our study of the Bibl...

Introduction: Last week we learned something glorious: Jesus opened the scroll that no one else (including our Father in Heaven) was "worthy" to open. The idea that God the Father was not worthy seemed ridiculous, until we thought about it a little more. Jesus sa...

Introduction: Today in the United States, we have all these silly warnings about obvious dangers. These warnings are the unfortunate result of the work of lawyers. As you all know, I'm a lawyer and law professor, so let me give you a warning about something that...

Introduction: This week Revelation turns to one of my favorite topics: the everlasting gospel! While I've been warning you that I might not be right in my understanding of some of our past studies in Revelation, I feel confident about the gospel. Let's dive into o...

Introduction: Do you love God? Are you grateful for what He has done for you and those you love? Our study this week reveals the opposite side of the spectrum. We see in great detail what happens to those who hate God and who harm His saints. It is a terrible th...

Introduction: When we left Revelation 16 last week we closed with the enemies of God assembling for the Battle of Armageddon. This week we are introduced to a new character, the "great prostitute." War and sex, this is beginning to sound like a modern novel. Let'...
