Revelation 11 pt 10
God’s beloved city has betrayed him. They have entered into the sins of Sodom and followed the idols of Egypt. And they have hosted the undeserving death of the righteous One. God does not have a short-sighted perspective of Jerusalem. He is painfully aware of His beloved city’s shortcomings and abject failures. But yet…

Revelation 11 pt 9

More…

Revelation 11 pt 4
The different expressions for the same period of time would also show that they are actual measurements of time that are not to be spiritualised into something of our own making. This period of time will actually happen. It will be the final three-and-a-half years before Christ Jesus returns in power and glory!

Revelation 11 pt 3
The building of the Third Temple and the beginning of the daily sacrifice will bring such joy to many of the people of Israel.

Surviving Revelation pt 6
Revelation is deeply intertwined with the rest of scripture, and to separate it out as a completely separate book from the rest is to lose the plot. One can argue that the whole of scripture can be found in Revelation so that it becomes the perfect capstone of scripture.

Surviving Revelation pt 5
Recently I taught an overview of the whole of the Book of Revelation to a class, from the beginning to the end. I had to cut one or two corners! It took me a whole hour and I was shattered at the end of it but it served its purpose of giving the students a…

Surviving Revelation pt 3
Much is to be gained by approaching Revelation in a simple, down-to-earth and literal fashion. There are symbols to be found, and these are very obvious, but for the most part a straight-forward approach works best.
-
Surviving Revelation pt 2
The Revelation of Jesus is too much to bear for some people who hastily retreat to more comforting verses in the gospels. Sadly though, they miss out on the true nature of Christ and the glory of the Kingdom that is to come. Indeed, one could argue that many will actually reject Jesus because he…

Surviving Revelation!
Revelation needs to be understood in the light of the whole of scripture and not a book in isolation. All scripture is God-breathed and we can never say that some verses are more important than others. We have to study scripture as a whole.
