Current Events & Christian Expectations

Today is Revelation 19, and one of the great turning points in all of Scripture. The mourning of Babylon in chapter 18 now gives way to heaven rejoicing, and what was promised through Scripture now begins to come fully into view. So grab your Bibles, let's turn to Revelation chapter 19, and let's dig right in. 

Good day, brothers, sisters, friends, and new faces. Today, we look at Babylon as a trans-historical symbol of corrupt culture.  It is all organized apart from God (political, economic, and religious systems).  And we look at its swift destruction at God’s final judgment.   Tune in as we are reminded to hold heavenly hope over worldly culture. 

Today we explore the symbol of Babylon the Great.  What is it?  Well, tune in and let's find out together as we unpack the woman on the scarlet beast, the seven heads and ten horns, and how earthly kingdoms rise and fall.
We will discuss the power that seduces governments and persecutes the faithful.
We will leave challenged to consider whether we are shaped by culture or by Christ and we will be reminded of the Christian hope in our unshakable kingdom.

This chapter moves us toward Armageddon and the gathering of the nations against God's rule. So the question today is, how do Christians remain faithful and watchful in a world that is growing increasingly hardened against truth?  Tune in with us today as we answer this and several other questions regarding the bowls of God's wrath.

In this episode we explore the biblical significance of music.  Listen in as we trace the divine origin from creation and share some of our own personal favorites.

In this episode we walk through Revelation 15 and examine the seven angels with seven plagues that complete God’s wrath.  We will look at the vision of a sea of glass mingled with fire, and hear the song of Moses and the Lamb as nations come to worship.
Join in with us as we explore themes of judgment and purification and the transition from wrath to restoration with the coming episode on Revelation 16.

 In this episode we walk through Revelation 14, exploring the appearance of the 144,000 on Mount Zion, the contrast between earthly and heavenly Zion, and the meaning of their purity and firstfruits status. We examine the three angelic proclamations—worship the Creator, the fall of Babylon, and the warning against worshiping the beast.  Finally, we unpack the vivid harvest and winepress imagery that depicts the swift nature of divine judgment and the Christian hope of salvation.

In today's study, join in as we explain the two beasts and the world’s infatuation with false power.  We also look at the false prophet’s and their 'signs', along with the significance of the mark and number of the beast (666).  Lastly, we look at the character patterns so we don't get lost looking for the person of character (by name)
