Awesome Thunder!
Revelation 4:5 ‘From the throne came flashes of lightening, rumblings and peals of thunder’. This Old Testament style of description adds to the drama of the moment and speaks of the awesome power and glory of the presence of God. Exodus 19:16 records: ‘On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning,…

Prepared
Revelation 1:1 ‘which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place’. God has brought revelation that we might know the times and the seasons we are living in. Many believe that they will prepare themselves when the time comes but the implication here is that there will be no time to…

The Slain Lamb
Revelation 5:6 ‘Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the centre of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders’. Leon Morris catches it elegantly when he writes: ‘When earth-bound men want symbols of power they conjure up mighty beasts and birds of prey. Russia…

Jerusalem
Please pray for that city, the holy city, the bitter and bloodied city, where our faith began and where our faith will gather us to, the city of covenant promise, the city of particular scandal, the city that the world will come to hate, the beloved city of our Lord, please weep and pray for…

Walking with God…
Revelation 3:4 ‘They will walk with me, dressed in white, for they are worthy’. The white clothes speak of the righteousness of Christ Jesus. What a delightful verse. To walk in fellowship and friendship with Christ, dressed in his righteousness and to be his faithful servant. What more could one ask for? This verse takes…

Wait in eager anticipation…
Revelation 4:2 ‘At once I was in the Spirit’ Revelation chapter 4 verse two describes John being taken up in the Spirit into the heavenly realms. The point is worth making that, although we may be earth-bound citizens, that nevertheless we may be prophetically taken up into the heavens and catch just a glimpse of…

Messiah fake news
Over the past few days there have been viral reports on social media that a Jewish rabbi has been proclaimed as the Messiah. An excellent rebuttal of these claims has been made by John Enarson on the Joel Richardson channel. His urgent message is that the Christian Church should not be promoting or spreading these…

The Faithful Witness
Revelation 1:5 ‘Jesus, who is the faithful witness.’ Jesus preached the gospel without compromise, even though he knew that the authorities were planning his death. He allowed his bloodied limbs to be stretched, aligned and nailed to the cross. Elevated above the world, his torn heart wept with the immensity of his love for mankind.…

Come, Lord Jesus..
Revelation 22:20 ‘He who testifies to these things says, “Yes, I am coming soon”. Amen , Come Lord Jesus.‘ The penultimate verse in Revelation, indeed, in scripture, describes the unity of the cry of the heart, between the bride-groom and his bride, between Christ Jesus and God’s chosen people. Every generation has lived with this…

Revelation 6 by Brave Church
Brave Church have a very good video on Revelation chapter six which is well worth watching. It lasts just under an hour. Jeff Scahwarzentraub speaks very clearly and in an enjoyable manner. I like his humble yet honest style. He covers the whole chapter well and he speaks from a Pre-Wrath point of view that…

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 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…

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…
