Today, we meet the first two of those three terrors head-on. Revelation nine gives us the fifth trumpet and the sixth trumpet, and I'll tell you up front, this is one of the strangest, most vivid, most genuinely unsettling chapters in the whole book. We're going to meet demonic locusts with human faces and scorpion tails, and a 200-million-strong cavalry with lion heads breathing fire.
In Revelation six, we watched the Lamb break the first six seals, and the four horsemen rode, the martyrs cried out, and the sky itself began to shake apart. Then in Revelation seven, the story paused for a breath, and we saw God seal His own people and gather that great, uncountable multitude in white robes before His throne. Today, the pause is over. Today, the seventh seal finally breaks, and when it does, it doesn't end the sto...
The sixth seal just announced the end of history itself, the coming of God and the Lamb in undeniable, cosmos-shaking glory. At that point you would expect John to go straight into the seventh seal and unveil the kingdom of glory in full. Instead, the action stops. John steps back and shows us two visions of God's people in the last days instead.
This is the chapter where the seals on that scroll from chapter five start breaking open one by one. This is the chapter where the Four Horsemen ride. This is the chapter where the martyrs under the altar cry out for justice, and where the sky itself starts to unravel.
Revelation 4 and 5 belong together. They're really one long vision with two acts. Chapter 4 is the introduction; a vision of God the Creator, enthroned, surrounded by rainbow light, twenty-four elders, and four living creatures who never stop crying, "Holy, holy, holy." That chapter ends in worship of the One who made all things.
Chapter 5 is the second act, and it shifts the spotlight. Now we see God the Redeemer; Jesus, the Lamb ...
Alright, so if you've been with us through chapters two and three, you know we just spent two whole episodes on seven letters to seven churches. Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, Laodicea — real churches, real problems, real promises. Very earthy. Very grounded in the day-to-day life of the local church.
John's attention gets pulled off the earth completely and up into heaven itself, and from this poi...
Last episode we covered the first four: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, and Thyatira. Today we're finishing the list. We've got Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea.
And I want to say up front — these aren't just ancient postcards. Every one of these letters follows the same pattern: Jesus introduces Himself with a specific title, He tells the church what He sees in them, He gives them a promise or a warning, and then He closes with...
This week we talk about the seven letters to the churches in Asia Minor. We will examine what they were commended for as well as what they were rebuked for.
Lord Jesus, You walk in the midst of Your churches even now, and You see us just as clearly as You saw Ephesus and Smyrna and Pergamos and Thyatira. Forgive us where we have grown busy but cold, where we have grown comfortable with compromise, where we have stayed silent instea...
The book of Revelation, written by John the Beloved, is an apocalypse which tells the reader about the power and majesty and authority of King Jesus! For the next several weeks we will be exploring this book in depth. This week, I will lay down some basic information about Revelation and go through chapter 1. I hope you enjoy it!

This lesson will conclude our spiritual warfare series, and will focus on prayer and fasting. Specifically Kingdom Prayers. God will help us as we increase our faith in Him through Kingdom prayer and through fasting. Let us hone these spiritual disciplines together!
In this episode we continue on the theme of spiritual warfare. The devil has a weapon, his tongue. He speaks lies and deception. Christians have also been given weapons. The Word of God and our tongue. Our testimony, our prayer. Learn how to fight against spiritual wickedness with the tools given to us by God.
A Study on the Doctrine of Balaam and the Nicolaitans, Based on Revelation 2:6, 14–15.
In this episode, we continue with the series on spiritual warfare. We examine several weapons that God has given us in this spiritual fight. “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,” (2 Corinthians 10:4 NKJV) There is a battle between human kind and the devil. The devil is wanting to destroy and seduce us. Use the weapons God has provided to defeat the enemy of your ...
In the first episode of Apostolic Pentecostal Bible Study, Rev. Ryan Gustason introduces spiritual warfare. What it is, and what it isn't. We explore what angels and demons are, how to recognize demonic influences, and briefly touches on some of the weapons in our arsenal to combat the evil in the spiritual realm.
