Revelation 11:1-13
by Jerry Vines
There are many things in this chapter which we do not understand. There is a great deal of difference of opinion about some of the things that are taught here. Men teach a variety of things about the details of this chapter. I'm not overly concerned that you understand all of the minute details of the book of Revelation. It will not be until we get to heaven that we'll fully understand everything God has given to us in this wonderful book. But we must keep in mind that the purpose of the Revelation is to unveil Jesus Christ. It's goal and aim is to see the Lord Jesus Christ clearer and to love Him better. When I get to a place...

Introduction to the Book of Revelation
by Jesse Hendley
The Book of the Revelation is a tremendous book! It is a prophetic book. It claims to be on a par with the prophecies of the Old Testament, and it is. It is another prophetic book of the Bible, even as Daniel, Ezekiel and Isaiah are prophetic books. This book begins and ends insisting on this fact. The Book of the Revelation is not only prophetic; it is interesting! Over the years I have spent much time in it. It is vitally interesting to me. It should be to every Christian. The Book of the Revelation is not only prophetic and interesting; it is panoramic. That is, it surveys the whole future. It goes on through to the end of the Church Age, the Coming of the...
The Mark of the Beast (2 of 2)
by Adrian Rogers
Now, will you take God's word please and turn to Revelation chapter thirteen. 'We're going to continue our message tonight on Israel and bible prophesy. Tonight we're going to talk about Israel's false Messiah, the anti Christ. The Lord Jesus said something that poignant, prophetical powerful, the LORD Jesus said in the gospel of John, in the fifth chapter and the forty third verse. I am come in my father's name and ye receive me not. If another shall come in his own name, him shall receive Israel's true Messiah, the Lord Jesus came, that Messiah was rejected, Jesus said you did not receive me, but then Jesus prophesied that another would come, a false Messiah and Jesus said him ye will...
Baghdad and the Bible
by James Merritt
1. He is 54 years old. He is just a shade under 6 ft. tall. His bushy, yet well trimmed mustache, black hair, and chiseled looks, have been plastered over every newspaper and television screen in the civilized world. Five years ago no one knew his name. Now you can hardly go anywhere in the world where no one knows his name. 2. Literally overnight, Saddam Hussein has lifted both himself and his country into the forefront of world attention. Personally, I do not believe that this has been incidental or coincidental. I believe it has been providential. I believe that we could very well be seeing a countdown to Armageddon. 3. Now in...
The Key to Revelation (6 of 41)
by Jerry Watts
Keys are big things in our culture. With keys we open doors, start cars, open pad locks, drop boxes, control security and more. Most of us have email for which we have to have a 'key' called an ID and password. Candidly, you cannot check your mail without your password or 'key.' Revelation is a book, for which, a key seems to be needed. In years past, some have suggested that there USED to be a key and that this key has now been lost. For those folks, they conclude that Revelation is now an enigma to us as it is impossible to understand. Yet, the serious Bible student may find just the opposite. Our text today may help...
Showdown For Iraq
by Ken Trivette
1. Bordering the Persian Gulf, between Iran and Kuwait, is a country, 423,162 sq. miles (slightly more than twice the size of Idaho); that has in the past few years, commanded the attention and focus of the world. The country that I refer to is Iraq.1 2. In 1979, Saddam Hussein became president of Iraq, and in the past 20 years, he has seen to it that his picture, words, and actions are plastered all over every newspaper and television screen in the civilized world. 3. For years, Iraq existed quietly and largely unimportant as a nation. But almost overnight, Saddam Hussein has lifted himself and his country into the forefront...
Series: Christ's Evaluation of His Church (1 of 4)
by Stuart Briscoe
John, the aged overseer of the church at Ephesus had been exiled on the island of Patmos because of his faith and ministry. While there he received a vision, an apocalypse, of Christ thst he was required to share with the churches around Ephesus. Christ's words need to be heard today. The church in Ephesus had many advantages. Planted in "the metropolis of Asia," and led and taught by outstanding leaders, it had flourished. But Christ pointed out their lack of love.Christ States His Credentials. v. 1 A. Holding the stars. B.Moving among the lampstands. C. Knowing the truth. IIChrist Pays His Compliments...

And There Was War in Heaven (16 of 26)
by Daniel Rodgers
INTRODUCTION: Our lesson last week was "The Seventh Trumpet Judgment," dealing with God's pronouncement of judgment upon the earth. In Rev. 11:18, it says, "And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth." In vs. 15, of the same chapter, the seventh angel sounded his trumpet, proclaiming the kingdoms of the world have now become the kingdoms of the Lord: "And the seventh...
Overview of Revelation
by Scott Maze
What comes to mind when the book of Revelation is mentioned? The rapture? Judgment, the Four Horsemen, or perhaps 666? Or even the Second Coming, the Antichrist, or Heaven? People have an emotional reaction to the book of Revelation. Some say it's scary while others believe it's confusing. Revelation is the one book people want to hear ''preached on'' the most and it's the one book pastors love to avoid! When considering the book of Revelation and the end of times, some of us think about the Left Behind series (which sold an estimated 75 million copies) or the runaway best seller, The Late Great Planet Earth...
Worship the Lamb (3 of 4)
by Stephen Whitney
John 3:16 is maybe the most familiar verse in the whole Bible. God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. We tend to think that because God loved us saved us from our sins and while that is true, God that is not the only reason he saved us. John MacArthur - ''The foundation upon which true worship is based is redemption. In the grand scheme of redemption, one of the principle things God is doing is transforming sinners into worshipers.'' John 4:23 Jesus told the woman at the well, ''True worshipers will worship the Father in spirit...
The Lukewarm Church
by Rex Yancey
We have been studying the seven churches in Asia. Some of the churches have been glad churches and some of the churches have been bad churches, but this church is a sad church. Jesus had at least one good thing to say about all the other churches. He had nothing good to say about this church. What is even sadder is that this church describes over 95% of all the churches in the entire world; churches in a lukewarm state. Consider these statistics: 10% of all church members cannot be found: 20% never pray 30% never attend church 40% never give to any cause 50% never attend Sunday school 60% never go to...
Journey Through the Bible (52 of 52)
by Donald Cantrell
The church at Ephesus had begun to lose that first love that they were known for in the days of the apostle Paul. In turn, John the pastor at Ephesus was inspired to send the church a letter, due to his imprisonment on the Isle of Patmos. There is much debate as to the particulars of the dates of these writings, which does not diminish the intent of this letter. The life of a true follower of Jesus Christ will be reflective of the word of God and Point to Ponder The church was experiencing heretics who taught false doctrine, so John wants to make a very clear distinction between light and truth. In chapter 1, the writer assures us...
Revelation - The Purpose of the Book (1 of 4)
by Eddie Snipes
In this study from the book of Revelation, I am not going to take the normal approach of looking at the prophetic predictions of this book. Instead, I am going to look at the deep spiritual applications that fill this book. Because most people look only at the prediction of future events, the greater benefits are overlooked. Prophecy in the Bible does not always mean predictions. Prophecy means to proclaim the purposes of God through divine inspiration. Sometimes the purposes of God are veiled in mystery and predictions, other times, God's purposes are proclaimed clearly for everyone to understand. Prophecy was never...
The Final Exit (66 of 66)
by Tony Thomas
Dr. Tom Friskney taught Revelation at the Cincinnati Bible Seminary when I was a studnet and I drove him crazy! I kept asking, ''When? When is the End of Days?'' Dr. Friskney would patiently reply, ''Don't ask 'when'? Ask 'why?''' If you're a 'why?' person - you'll love Revelation. If you're a ''Are we there yet?'' person, it'll drive you nuts! ''When'' the Lord returns should not be a concern! In Acts 1, the Twelve were praying when Jesus appeared: 6 They gathered around him and asked him, ''Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?'' 7 He said: ''It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his...
The Message to the Churches (2 of 4)
by Eddie Snipes
Chapter two and three of Revelations addresses letters to the seven churches in Asia. Many volumes of books have been written about the meanings behind these letters and what these historic churches symbolize. These letters serve as examples to be praised, failures to avoid, instructions for the believer and consequences for neglecting God's purpose. When instructing the churches, Jesus followed the same pattern I am using to break down this study. He praised the churches for what was in order, He pointed out their areas of disobedience, He instructed with promises of their eternal reward and then warned against...
The Seven Vial Judgments (19 of 26)
by Daniel Rodgers
INTRODUCTION: This evening, we will begin our study of God's final plagues upon earth. Thus far, we have had the seven seal judgments and the seven trumpet judgments, bringing us up to the end of the tribulation period and the Battle of Armageddon.The seal judgments began the tribulation period, referred to as The Beginning of Sorrows. The seven trumpet judgments brought us through the last 3 ½ years of the tribulation, referred to as The Great Tribulation. And now, we will witness the culmination of it all, as God brings everything to a close. Let's begin our study in chapter 15...John said, "I saw another sign in heaven...
Heaven's Anything But Boring! (10 of 10)
by Roger Thomas
Introduction: Heaven confuses many people. Some don't understand much about it. Others are convinced they know all they want to know and have decided they aren't interested. A lot of people think heaven sounds boring with a capital B! Mark Twain's Huck Finn said that he thought heaven was a place where a person would "go around all day long with a harp and sing, forever and ever." I have never heard any of you play the harp. I have heard some of you sing. With all due respect, I don't think much of the idea of spending forever listening to Paul Gore play the harp or Bob Pabst sing. Undoubtedly it was this perspective that...
