Thank you for watching. God bless you and your family!
We would love to hear your comments and please like and share this video. From verse one of this book we understand that this is the Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show to His bond servants the things which must shortly take place. Jesus then sent and communicated this Revelation by His angel to His bondservant, John.

In other words, God the Father wants us to receive this Revelation. John also wrote that whoever reads and hears and takes heed to the things written in the words of this prophecy will be blessed.

It’s called “The Revelation,” in the Greek, it is translated, the apocalypse, and it means, “The Revealing,” or “The Unveiling.” When people think of the word ‘apocalypse,’ mass destruction, chaos, and suffering, often come to mind, but God uses this book to reveal Jesus Christ, especially as Lord over all the earth in the latter days. He is the center of this book.

The Revelation was not sent to strike fear in the church, although for those in the world who don’t know Christ there could be considerable cause for concern. But for the church, it was sent to encourage and strengthen your faith, it was written so you might know that God wrote the end before there was even a beginning. He is Lord over all the nations of the earth and he is our Champion who has defeated death and won for us our victory.

As we study through Revelation, you will see many symbols. Symbols are helpful, but sometimes difficult to interpret.

Aviah and I were driving somewhere and she wanted to practice giving directions using her tablet. At one point, she said, “Turn right on ‘Springwood Doctor.’” Springwood Doctor? It took me a minute to realize she misinterpreted Dr. for doctor. It’s now a running joke between us.

Symbols are helpful because they transcend time. Language changes, but signs and symbols more clearly convey the thoughts and intent of the message. They also communicate the message more powerfully: it’s one thing to say that a powerful world leader will come on the scene, it’s another to say, “The Beast is coming.” It’s one thing to say that Jesus has authority, but another to say that He is the Lion of the tribe of Judah!

Before we begin our study, we should also understand the significance of Israel in latter-day events. There is a branch of Christian theology that believes that the nation of Israel is no longer significant spiritually and that all the promises given to Israel have now been given over to the church. This is sometimes referred to as replacement theology; Israel’s promises have been replaced by the promises given to the church, they say. I don’t believe that doctrine at all.

I believe that God’s promises to Israel are eternal and that the words of Genesis 12 still apply, “Those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed.” I believe that doctrine should inform our foreign policy as a nation. The nation of Israel, therefore, becomes central to the understanding of the events of the last days.

As we study through the book of Revelation, we will also tie in prophecies of Scripture from Jesus in the Gospels, the books of Daniel, Ezekiel, Zechariah, and many more. It’s amazing to see how prophecy throughout the Bible comes together in the unveiling of last days events in The Revelation.

We are also going to connect biblical prophecy to the events that are happening in the world today. We need to look at current events through the lens of biblical prophecy. That makes this study extremely relevant and important for those concerned about the direction this world is heading in.
