Revelation Bible Study
One of the messages gleaned from Revelation Bible Study is that the end is not the end and by that we mean the end of time and or life on the planet. The Apocalypse sheds more light on the passages in the prophets and in the gospels which speak of the life and the message of God continuing after Jesus' return or parousia. The word parousia means presence. It affirms that Christ is here with believers today.
Obviously, this refers to His spiritual presence. Erroneously, many believers expect a physical bodily return of Christ of the same nature in ...

Temple of God
Is the tabernacle of God with men? Ninety nine percent of all Christians live with a deferred hope, an unrealized promise, a rationalization of God's fidelity. Materialistic concepts of the kingdom of God cause many to focus on nationalism and wars as the framework for the fulfillment of God's promises. Yet, it was God's purpose that: The tabernacle of God would be with men, in other words, it would exist in the lifetime of men.
The focus on the rebuilding of Old Covenant Judaism makes headlines. This seems to fascinate some Christians. They believe that Palestine is to ...

This clearly marks Jerusalem as the subject of the mystery. Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem outside the gates, (Heb. 13:12). During His ministry he stated that it could not be that a prophet perish outside ...

In a few minutes I will share with you a message about What is the Meaning of Revelation 22:12?
Before I do, let me recap an event which happened on yesterday.
As we were riding home in the car on yesterday, my grandson and grand- daughter decided to spend the afternoon with us.
They often come over on Saturdays, because they like to eat large helpings of grandmothers Sunday dinners.
During our ride home in the car, my grandson brought up questions about
words I used in a benediction.
To me they were simple words, but he made it ...
Prophecy in the Apocalypse: What Is the Meaning of...
March 3rd, 2009 | Book of Revelation | No Comment
The key to successful interpretation of Bible
prophecy in the New Testament is to always
find it's source in the Old Testament to unlock
the meaning.
That was the method of the Christ and the
apostles. Prophecy in the Apocalypse: What
is the meaning of Revelation 1:7?, explores
those concepts.
Failure to follow this simple interpretive guideline
leads to unbelief, frustration and all sorts of
fanciful interpretations and doctrines.
Most people pick up the Book of Revelation because of their fascination with prophecy and intrigue for the signs and symbols within. Immediately they assume a posture of predicting the future. Current events,
news reports, and natural calamities supply an unending gold mine ...
