The Seven letters to Seven Churches. Covers the four levels of application of these letters from Jesus; historical, admonitory to churches, admonitory to individuals, and prophetic. Also includes insights gained by the author's visits to the actual location of these seven churches. Part 2 of 2.
The Rapture of the Church. Visit the Throne of God and learn the mystery of the 24 Elders. The Four Cherubim (living creatures) are introduced and compared with the Camp of Israel and the 4 Gospels.
Witness the greatest real estate transaction in history. How did Satan gain control of the world and how did Jesus get it back? Also, the church's first worship service in Heaven.
Revelation chapters 7-9 cover the first group of 144,000 (there are two), the Great Multitude of tribulation martyrs with their unique destiny, and the seventh seal, which introduces the second cycle of God's wrath, called the Trumpet Judgments. Six of the seven Trumpet Judgments are unleashed on Planet Earth in chapter 9.
Paul's first written communication with the church has its focus in prophecy. The 2nd Coming is mentioned in every chapter of the two letters for an average of once every thirteen verses.
With the 7th trumpet, the Lord is set to possess His Kingdom. But first the usurper must be unseated. Phase one is to kick him out of Heaven. Then the campaign for Planet Earth can begin in earnest.
Another group of 144,000 appears in Heaven. Who could they be? Three angels give mankind his last warnings, and then the final cycle of judgments is visited upon planet Earth. The Bowl Judgments complete, not begin, God's Wrath.
With the conclusion of the bowl judgments we've seen the end of the Great Tribulation. Now we'll back up a little and get the detail on Babylon's Three Dimensional Destruction; religious, commercial, and governmental.
Paul's letter to the Colossians is a rebuttal to the Gnostic Error, a first century heresy that was already evident in the church in 60 AD when the letter was written, and is still with us today. Chapter one introduces the pre-emminent Christ, all God and all man.
Chapter 2 continues with Paul's argument against Gnosticism, warning us not to be taken captive by hollow and deceptive philosophies, and showing us how God turned what Satan thought would be his greatest victory into his ultimate defeat.
With the Lord on His throne and Satan bound, you'd think peace would finally prevail forever. But even with mankind's three major excuses for disobedience all gone, his problems are still not solved. Is there any circumstance under which natural man can live a life pleasing to God?
Having carried the themes of Satan's destiny and the judgment of unbelievers to their conclusion at the end of the Millennium, John returns to its beginning to describe the Kingdom in more detail. First the New Jerusalem and then the refreshed Planet Earth. A beautiful overview of what's in store for us.
These parables make up the Lord's own view of phase one of the Kingdom, those who claim to be His followers on Earth. Some are true, some are false, some are Jew and some are Gentile, but all are sinners. Listen in as the Lord "tells it like it is" while describing us.
The Olivet Discourse is sometimes called "The End Times According To Jesus". In the Lord's own words we'll hear how the End Times unfold on Earth, from the Abomination of Desolation to the judgments following the 2nd Coming. Part one of three.
The Abomination of Desolation, the flight from Jerusalem, the general sequence, and clues to the possible timing of the 2nd Coming. Part 2 of our 3 part series on "The End Times According To Jesus".
There's a time line woven through the Olivet Discourse beginning in Matt. 24:15. It shows us exactly when events surrounding the 2nd Coming take place. In our conclusion we follow this time line to correct some major mistakes that have been made in interpreting this critical teaching.
Daniel's story is like none other. Taken hostage to Babylon as a teenager, he rose to become chief adviser to two world leaders, Babylon's King Nebuchadnezzar and Media-Persia's King Darius. Along the way, God showed him some of the most remarkable glimpses of the future you'll find anywhere in Scripture.
The famous story of the three boys in the fiery furnace. Jack presents it as a model of the Great Tribulation, with the three boys representing Israel, the King of Babylon as the anti-Christ, and the astrologers, or Chaldeans, as the false prophet. The question is, where's Daniel?
The only chapter of the Bible written by a Gentile King. Nebuchadnezzar tells how the Creator of the Universe got his attention and convinced him that there was Someone greater than himself. The first person account of a king's humbling conversion.
Several of the sayings we still use today come from this chapter. "The handwriting's on the wall", "your days are numbered", and "your number's up" are some examples. This is the story of how an impregnable fortress was conquered without a battle using a plan God devised before it existed.
People who don't know anything else about the Bible have heard the story of Daniel in the lion's den, and that's the topic of Daniel 6. An in depth look at this famous testimony of one man's faith.
With chapter 7 the Book of Daniel shifts from a chronological account of the Prophet's life in Babylon to a series of prophetic visions he received. The first one gives us God's view of the Gentile Kingdoms who would rule the world from Daniel's time until now.
The focus of Daniel 8 is Alexander the Great's defeat of the Persians, and the subsequent domination of Israel by one of his successors. Learn how God used Alexander to prepare the world to receive the Gospel, and see a clear model of the anti-Christ in the second of Daniel's four visions of the End Times.
Daniel 9 is one of the most important chapters in the Bible because it contains the so-called 70 weeks prophecy. These four verses contain the key that unlocks the correct interpretation of all other End Times Prophecy.
This is by far the most complex passage in all of Scripture with 135 historically validated prophecies fulfilled within the span of just a few hundred years.
With verse 36, Daniel 11 goes from history to prophecy, from the anti-Christ to the Millennium. In this study we'll challenge the traditional views of both the anti-Christ's origins and the headquarters of the revived Roman Empire. Did the Romans control two cities on seven hills? An exciting conclusion!
In this study we take the Bible's earliest prophecies of the Messiah and follow them through time to show how the Lord narrowed down the field of candidates from any one of several million male descendants of Eve to just one possibility. Irrefutable evidence that Jesus is exactly who He claimed to be.
Having in mind to write to the Church about salvation, the Lord's brother was prompted by the Holy Spirit to write this blistering criticism of false teachers instead. It's as timely now as it was then.
