JESUS IS THE VOICE OF TRUTH

The New Heaven, the New Earth & Jesus Is Coming Revelation (21:1—22:21)

21:1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.

There is a question whether chapters 21 and 22 deals with the Eternal State alone or whether they alternate between the Millennium and the Eternal State.

Since the Millennium and eternity are similar in many ways, it ...

The Coming of Christ and His Millennial Kingdom (19:1—20:9)

19:1 After these things John hears a great multitude in heaven, praising the Lord for His righteous punishment of the great harlot.

The song extols Him as the Lord our God to whom belong salvation, glory, honor, and power.

19:2 for true and just are his judgments. He has condemned the great prostitute

who corrupted the earth by her adulteries? He has avenged on her ...

The Seven Bowl Judgments & The Fall of Babylon (Chap. 16-18)

Revelation 16:1

1Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go, pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.”

2 The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and ugly, festering sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

A loud voice from the temple orders the seven angels ...

Key Figures During the Tribulation Period (Chaps. 12–15)

12:1 A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. 2 She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth.

The woman is Israel.

The sun, moon and stars depict the glory and dominion which has been promised to her in the coming kingdom, just as they pictured Joseph’s ...

The Mighty Angel and the Little Scroll (Chap. 10, 11)

John now sees another mighty angel coming down from heaven.

10:1 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like fiery pillars

The description leads many to believe that He is the Lord Jesus.

He had a rainbow on his head, the sign of God’s covenant.

His f...

The Saved in the Great Tribulation (Chapter 7,8 & 9)

Chapter 7 comes between the sixth and seventh seals and introduces us to two important companies of believers.

The chapter answers the question at the end of chapter 6, “Who is able to stand?”

Those described in this chapter will stand in the sense that they will be spared to enter the Millennium with Christ.

The Lamb and the Seven-Sealed Scroll

Revelation Chapter 5-6

5:1 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals.

God is seen holding a scroll which has seven seals binding it.

The scroll contains a record of the judgments that must fall on the earth before the Lord Jesus can set up His kingdom.

III.THE THINGS WHICH WILL TAKE PLACE AFTER THIS (Chaps. 4)

The first three chapters of Revelations described the Church Age from the time of the apostles until the Rapture.

Beginning with this chapter, the subject is “things which must take place after this.”

From this point on, the church is never mentioned as being on earth.

What then has happened to it?

We believe that it was taken to heaven by the Lord at the end of ...

JESUS: the Way, the Truth, and the Life (John 14:1–14)

14:1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.

“Now believe in Me in the same way.”

Here is an important claim to equality with God the Father.

14:2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?

The Father’s house refers to heaven, where there are many ...

THE SON OF MAN’S TRIUMPH

 Luke Chapter 24

The Women at the Empty Tomb (24:1–12)

24:1 Then on Sunday at early dawn they made their way to the tomb, carrying the spices which they had prepared for the body of Jesus.

But how did they expect to get to His body?

Did they not know that a huge stone had been rolled against the mouth of the tomb?

We are not told the answer.

All we know is that they loved Him dearly, and love is o...

1 John (1:1–4)(1:5—2:2)

The doctrinal foundation of all true fellowship is the Person of the Lord Jesus Christ.

There can be no true fellowship with those who hold false views concerning Him.

The first two verses teach His eternity and the reality of His Incarnation.

The same One who existed from all eternity with God the Father came down into this world as a real Man.

The reality of His Incarnation is indicated by the fact that...

Matthew 7:15–28

Wherever the stern demands of true discipleship are taught, there are false prophets who advocate the wide gate and easy way.

They water down the truth until, “There is not enough left to make soup for a sick grasshopper.”

These men who profess to be speaking for God come in sheep’s clothing , giving the appearance of being true believers.

But inwardly they are ravenous wolves , i.e., they are vicious unbelievers wh...

Hebrews 11:20

It is hard for our western minds to understand what was so unusual in the faith of Isaac, Jacob , and Joseph, as recorded in the next three verses. Isaac, for instance, achieved a place in faith’s hall of fame because he invoked future blessings on Jacob and Esau .

What was remarkable about that?

Before the children were born, the Lord announced to Rebekah that the boys would become the source of two nations and that...

Encouragement to Faith

PART I

Hebrews Chapter 11

This chapter deals with the vision and endurance of faith.

It introduces us to men and women of the OT who had 20/20 spiritual vision and who endured tremendous shame and suffering rather than renounce their faith.

Verse 1 is not really a formal definition of faith; rather it is a description of what faith does for us.

It makes things hoped for as real as if we already had them, ...

We are going to learn the process by which Jews and Gentiles are saved by the grace of God; how they are reconciled to God and to one another; how, in union with Christ, they become one new man; and how they form a holy temple in which God dwells by His Spirit.

Grace means divine assistance for daily living.

Paul’s readers in Ephesians 2:8-9 had already been saved by the grace of God, His undeserved favor to the lost.

We need stren...

Who is this Jesus?

Do we really understand the awesome, splendor of our Lord Jesus?

Have we really considered the magnitude of our Lord?

Though the whole Bible preaches Jesus, identifies Him as the coming King, one scripture truly encapsulates His identity.

To get a revelation of His glory brings us into a place of holy fear and reverence

John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

It is no accident that the Sermon on the Mount is placed near the beginning of the NT. Its position indicates its importance. In it the King summarizes the character and conduct expected of His subjects. This sermon is not a presentation of the plan of salvation; nor is its teaching intended for unsaved people. It was addressed to the disciples (5:1, 2) and was intended to be the constitution, or the system of laws and principl...
