175 Revelation: Last Words

We have reached the conclusion of this great book. But it’s also how God chose to conclude the entire Bible. So, if these are the last words of the Bible, we need to ask ourselves, “What does God hope for us to remember?”

172 Revelation: The Day He Returns

The Second Coming of Christ is not a point on which the Scriptures are ambiguous or unclear. “In the same way” as He ascended, it says in Acts 1:9-11, He will return. Literally, bodily, gloriously.

171 Revelation: The Woman on the Beast

167 Revelation: Caught Up to Heaven

166 Revelation: Sealed or Marked?

What will the first five minutes after your heart stops beating be like? The answer to that question all depends on whether you’ve been sealed or marked. What do I mean by that?

165 Revelation: Anticipating the Antichrist

The Bible talks about a 7-year period of time that will be the climactic era of history - when the church will be raptured, God’s final judgments will be poured out, and Jesus will come again. These 7 years will be kicked off by the arrival on the world scene of a key figure: the Antichrist.

164 Revelation: Countdown to the Meltdown

We’re about to enter into the portion of this book that speaks of a series of cataclysmic events that will bring history to its dramatic climax. And one of the words we’ll be seeing with some frequency is “tribulation.”

162 Revelation: An Occupied Throne

Much of the book of Revelation is about the future – the unfolding of God’s judgment and Satan’s last-ditch effort to thwart that plan. But before the visions of beasts and dragons, the Antichrist, and the Great Tribulation, God gave John a vision that would put all of that into perspective.

160 Revelation: Hope Unveiled

144 Seven Churches of Revelation: Laodicea - The Lukewarm Church

What if material prosperity does not always lead to spiritual prosperity? What if material affluence can result in spiritual indifference?

143 Seven Churches of Revelation: Philadelphia - The Enduring Church

The city of Philadelphia (Turkey, not Pennsylvania) was considered the gateway to the whole central plateau of Asia Minor. Jesus used this strategic point of geography to give the church there this spiritual challenge: “I have placed before you an open door.”

142 Seven Churches of Revelation: Thyatira - The Wayward Church

Thyatira was the smallest of the 7 cities named in Revelation 2-3, but its church received the longest letter. Perhaps because they faced far more serious challenges.

141 Seven Churches of Revelation: Pergamum - The Compromising Church

Jesus begins His message to the Church at Pergamum by saying this: “I know where you live, where Satan has his throne.”
