More about apocalypse

Fallen, fallen is Babylon the Great! Her smoke rises to heaven forever.

The nations lament over the fall of "Babylon the Great," and Revelation 18 eulogizes the city in the language and taunts fo the prophets of old. This teaching takes students on a tour of Bible prophecies to set the stage for the climactic collapse of the great city that sits upon seven hills, drunk with the blood of the saints, apostles and prophets, and seducing the nations with materialism, wealth, and immorality.

Seven angels pour out seven bowls (invoking the plagues with which God struck Egypt) as the armies of Gog and Magog assemble to make war on Jerusalem in the Battle of Armageddon. Get the inside information on the great end-times conflict and God's direct intervention for the salvation of his people.

A majestic prelude to the final act of the redemption comes with a heavenly recitation of the Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb. We see the seven angels preparing to pour out seven bowls of God's wrath upon the earth while the heavenly spirits of the martyrs take their places in the supernal temple to provide a choral accompaniment for soundtrack of the final redemption.
 

The mysterious number 666 is code for the name of a human being considered to be the antichrist and endtimes incarnation of evil. Can we crack the code? This teaching takes a look at the puzzle from a first-century perspective to offer an answer to the old question, "What is the name of the beast?"

 

Discover the origins of the antichrist in first century Rome in this discussion on the mark of the Beast as described in Revelation 13:11-17. Who is the beast out of the earth? What is the mark of the beast and how does it function? What is the image of the beast?

What is the "time of the Gentiles" and how long does it last. This teaching on Revelation 11:1-2 provides the background for the command to "rise and measure the temple" and insights into the trampling of the holy city.

Then I was given a measuring rod like a staff, and I was told, "Rise and measure the temple of God and the altar and those who worship there, but do not measure the court outside the temple; leave that out, for it is given over to the nations, and they will trample the holy city for forty-two months. (Revelation 11:1-2)

John sees an angel straddling land and sea with the small scroll open in his hand. He hears the voices of seven thunders speak to him from heaven. He eats a scroll that tastes like honey but turns his stomach sour. In this teaching, we unravel these riddles and more as we prepare for the seventh angel to sound the seventh trumpet.

A fifth trumpet sounds. A star falls to earth. The star is given a key to unlock the abyss. (Not a good idea.) A sixth trumpet releases the four angels bound at the Euphrates. In this teaching from Revelation 9, we learn about who is in the abyss and we meet the hosts of Abaddon.

Naked is Sheol before Him, and Abaddon has no covering. (Job 26:6)

Sheol and Abaddon lie open before the LORD, how much more the hearts of men! (Proverbs 15:11)

When the seventh seal on the scroll is broken, heaven falls silent for half an hour. The prayers of the martyrs rise before God like incense. Seven angels take up seven trumpets, and with each blast of the trumpet, a new calamity falls upon the inhabitants of the earth. This teaching from the book of Revelation takes us through the first four trumpet blasts--a prelude to the three woes.

 

Are you ready for the coming tribulation? It's already here, and it has been underway for the last two thousand years. The four horsemen of the apocalypse have already ridden out; five of the seven seals on the scroll with seven seals have already been opened, and we are just about to see the opening of the sixth seal. Take a quick look at the first seven chapters of Revelation with this  season one recap of the Apocalypse of John.
