The birth, death and resurrection of the Messiah and the reality of His persecuted church on earth are the continuous working out of the primal struggle that began with the fall of mankind and God's promise of a Savior. The Book of Revelation describes this struggle from the perspective of Heaven.
The seals have been opened, the trumpets have been blown, and throughout all generations, the Gospel of Jesus Christ is proclaimed.
The Seven Trumpets recorded in Revelation chapters 8 and 9 remind us that for those who do not repent; those who continue to worship a god other than the One Almighty God, there is a judgement and retribution.
Chapters 8 and 9 contain some very vivid visual descriptions concerning the work and will of God. Christ's death on the cross for our salvation is so magnificent because the judgement is so real.
The 6 of the 7 seals have been opened. But before we can look at the 7th Seal or the Trumpets, we must understand the great importance of chapter 7. Let's take a look!
The Book of Revelation is often seen as mysterious, terrifying and even mystical. Ironically, God is telling His church, "This is the reality of what is happening in heaven and on earth. "
In the next two chapters, we get a glimpse of God's throne and the heavenly court. We will be reminded that in the midst of trials and tribulations, Christ is the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
Eschatology is the study of God's conclusion to His divine plan for the redemption of human souls. His plan is fulfilled in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
There are a number of varying views regarding the end times and the Book of Revelation. Our study will focus on two millennial views: Dispensational Premillennialism and Amillennialism.
The 7 letters to the 7 churches reveal critical information about: The Church, Jesus Christ- the Head and Lord of His Church, and the relationship between Christ and His Church.
Today, as we continue our exploration in the Book of Revelation, we focus on the letters to Sardis and Philadelphia. In both letters, Jesus expresses grief, but also great hope for His people.
Today, we look at the letter to the church in Thyatira. Jesus commends this church for possessing Christ-like qualities. He also confronts them for tolerating un-Godly qualities.
Join us as we explore the meaning of the letters to Smyrna and Pergamum as Jesus expresses His love and concern for His Church.
This week, in the Book of Revelation, we delve into the seven letters to the seven churches. We begin by exploring Jesus' introduction of Himself as the Lord of His Church.
Jesus uses stars, angels, and lampstands to describe His Church. Christ's perspective of His Church is laden with love and grace and victory!
John was instructed to write letters to seven churches throughout the Roman Empire. Each letter contained relevant information for that church. Those letters contain relevant information for the church today.
The Gospel of John and the Book of Revelation each record seven, "I AM" statements. These statements reveal the divinity and authority of Jesus Christ. He is the Triumphant King who has the power to save. Join us as we continue our journey into the Book of Revelation with Reverend Dr. James Von Busch. Handouts can be found on our website.
There are at least two important similarities between the Book of Revelation and the Gospel of John. The first similarity is the proclamation of Jesus as the Son of God. The second is the call to believe. Join us as we begin our journey into the Book of Revelation with Reverend Dr. James Von Busch.
