Open the doors!
Revelation 22:10 ‘Then he told me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book because the time is near.“ Most commentators refer to Daniel 12:9. Daniel 12:9 ‘He replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.” Many believe that now…

Isaiah 24
Samuel Whitefield has put forward another excellent video teaching course, this time on Isaiah 24. Samuel speaks of the great darkness that is coming on the earth, as described by Isaiah in chapter 24. Isaiah 24:4 ‘The earth dries up and withers…’ But then Samuel speaks of the wave of intense rejoicing that will occur:…

The Turbulent Flight!
I once caught a commercial flight from Athens to Tel Aviv and we went through a severe thunderstorm. The plane was going up and down like a yo-yo and so was my stomach! The passengers, including myself, were all very frightened. Some were getting up to go the toilet, some were opening the overhead lockers…

The Single Pearl
Revelation 21:21 ‘The twelve gates were made of twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The pearl represents virginal purity and Jesus is the gate: John 10:9 ‘I am the gate, whoever enters through me will be saved.’ The single pearl denotes that Jesus is the only way, the only gate through which…

Understandings of Revelation
There is a maze of different understandings of Revelation which makes to it all rather complicated and off-putting to begin with. Mike Winger is a very good biblical scholar who teaches with honesty and integrity. Here he presents a teaching on the various forms of understanding available. The video is thorough and unbiased and it…

Worship Him!
Revelation 14:7 ‘Worship Him who made the heavens, the earth, the sea and the springs of water.‘ The springs of water speak of the eternal grace of God. We are called to humble ourselves before the Creator of the Universe. We may be arrogant enough to believe that we control the movements of the earth…

The Victory of the Lamb
This an excerpt from my commentary on chapter 14 which will be posted very soon. Revelation 14:1 ‘Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb, standing on Mount Zion, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads.’ The beginning of chapter thirteen was ominous with…

Martyrdom
Revelation 13:9 ‘He who has an ear let him hear. If anyone is to go into captivity, he will go. If anyone is to be killed by the sword, with the sword he will be killed.’ Revelation 13 brings its fair share of darkness but the light of Revelation 14 is not too far away…

The End-time Beast Empire
Revelation 13:2 ‘The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a mouth like that of a lion.‘ In my last post I showed how this verse takes us to Daniel 7:4-7 where the beast-empires of Babylon, Medo-Persia and Greece are described. Daniel then describes the fourth beast,…

The Beast
Revelation 13:1 ‘And I saw a beast coming out of the sea. He had ten horns, seven heads with ten crowns on his horns and on each head a blasphemous name. The beast comes up out of the ‘sea‘ represents the anti-Christ emerging in the midst of societal chaos and anarchistic disorder. This is the…

The Woman of Revelation 12
There is a video to be found by clicking here of a friendly debate between Scott Howell, Douglas Hamp and Dr. Alan Kurschner on the identity of the woman of Revelation 12. Is she Israel, Mary or the Church? The debate was friendly and informative and I learnt a lot from it. Rather than me…

The very best friend…
Revelation 1:17 When I saw him, i fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid”. One of the most poignant moments in Revelation is when John is overwhelmed by the sheer presence of the radiant Christ and falls to his knees. His…
