Dec 24, 2017 · It's a symbolic vision that brought hope and challenge to the seven 1st Century churches, and every generation of Christians. It reveals history’s pattern and God's promise that every human kingdom eventually becomes Babylon and must be resisted in the power of the slain Lamb.
Feb 1, 2024 · Those who have faith in Christ are accounted the spiritual seed of Abraham (Galatians 3:29). It will be “true” Israel—those who have trusted in Jesus Christ—that will enter the gates of the Kingdom of Heaven.

The last time mankind had access to the tree of life was in the Garden of Eden. After Adam and Eve disobeyed God by eating fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the Lord drove them out of His garden (Genesis 3:24). Their perfect, unending fellowship with God gave way to regret, pain, conflict, sweat, and death (Job 14:1; Romans 8:2...
When Jesus revealed the events of Revelation to John, every Roman citizen was expected to worship the emperor, and Smyrna was at the epicenter. Christians who refused to participate were tortured on the rack, crucified, burned to death, or thrown to the lions in the Colosseum. John spent months in exile for his commitment to the Gospel. In this env...
Blending worldly rituals with Christianity in the name of “tolerance” has tripped up God’s people for millennia. The church at Pergamos was no different. Although the believers were willing to die for the Gospel, compromising doctrines had crept into their way of thinking. Instead of maintaining a distinct identity as God’s holy people, they began ...
The church at Thyatira had everything going for it, except for holiness. Jesus commended their “works, love, service, faith, and [their] patience” (Revelation 2:19). Still, He painted a startling picture of their immorality and the judgment that would follow if they did not repent: Although this church had started well, it allowed sin to spread lik...
Outwardly, the church at Sardisseemed vibrant, but it was dead inside. In Matthew 23:27, Jesus told the scribes and Pharisees that they were “like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness.” His warning to Sardis was similar: “I know your works, that you have a name that y...
If I could have been at any one of the seven churches on the day Christ’s letter arrived, I would have chosen the church in Philadelphia. Besides Smyrna, this is the only church that Christ did not reprimand. Verse after verse, Christ Jesus gave assurances of His commitment to empower the church at Philadelphia and protect it. Because they relied o...
Standing in direct contrast to the letter to Smyrna, Christ’s letter to Laodicea is the only one of the seven letters that says nothing positive about its recipients. In fact, Jesus told the church that it made Him sick (Revelation 3:16). Rich in material wealth, its members had become complacent and spiritually impoverished. They were compromising...
Every individual who has overcome the world by faith (1 John 5:4-5) will inherit all seven benefits promised in Revelation. Are you encouraged by the things you could have as an overcomer? Theologically and positionally, anyone in Christ has already overcome the world. But there is more to living in victory than positional overcoming. These promise...
- Jesus was raised to earth. Jesus was raised to earth, not to heaven. We should not confuse the resurrection and the ascension. The grave of Joseph of Arimathea was empty.
- The Bible begins at Genesis 1, not at Genesis 3. The Bible does not begin with the problem of sin; it begins with the beauty of the earth. Through all the twists and turns of the biblical story, God remains committed to his creation.
- God did not hold back his best when he created the earth. The earth that God created is not a functional, monochrome, utilitarian machine. It is full of beauty, color, and creativity.
- Humans are made in the image of God to have dominion. Genesis 1 begins with the creation of the heavens and the earth, but then narrows in to a particular garden called “Eden.”
The Millennium refers to the period of 1,000 year reign of Christ mentioned in Revelation 20:3. The exact timing and nature of what is meant by the Millennium is debated between three viewpoints: Amillennialism, Postmillennialism, and Premillennialism.
