Revelation (Page 3)
The Four Horsemen
Revelation 6 begins our look at the Tribulation period. It’s a 7 year period that God has set in place to deal with the continuous rebellion of the world and to draw the nation of Israel back to Him. In our study today we focus on the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. We’ll look at who they are and what they represent.

The Passing of the Scroll
As we look at the scene going on in heaven, it’s one full of praise. But in Revelation 5 we see a development occur that causes John great concern. A scroll emerges with 7 seals on it, and nobody is found worthy to open it. And it causes him to weep. What was this scroll? Who is able to open it? Listen in as we take a look and answer these important questions.

The Worship in Heaven
The scene in heaven is one of great worship before the throne of God. The four living creatures and the 24 elders are all taking part. But who are they? We take a look at who these groups are and again see the priority and program of heaven.

The Church in Philadelphia and Laodicea
We have two very different churches before us. One was a revived church, the other a relaxed church. It’s the tale of two doors. The church of Philadelphia had an open door of ministry that the believers were faithful to walk through. Whereas the church at Laodicea had a closed door – by their own choosing. They had been keeping Jesus out and doing things their way. Listen in and learn from these good and bad examples.

The Church in Thyatira and Sardis
The church in Thyatira was doing well outwardly but they allowed themselves to become polluted inwardly by a mixed message.
The church in Sardis had a great reputation, but were essentially dead. These are still potential problems that can face the church today. Listen in as we look at how to avoid these.

Revelation 2:8-17 – The Church in Smyrna and Pergamos
The people in Smyrna were facing great trial and persecution. But they were told to not fear any of these things, for they will receive a crown of life. It’s comforting to know that whatever we may endure here in life has eternal value. The people in Pergamos however allowed a lot of compromise in the church. And if they weren’t careful they would experience something much different.

Revelation 1:9-20 – A Glimpse of the Glorified Christ
John is given an incredible opportunity to see Jesus. But John has seen Jesus before, he’s been with Jesus, ate with Jesus. However, this time it’s different. John sees not only the resurrected Christ, he sees Him in all His glory and majesty. And John is overwhelmed and falls down at His feet. May we be in awe as we look to Jesus, and may we see Him in all His glory!
Bible Text: Revelation 1:9-20
Revelation 1:4-8 – The Alpha and Omega
As John greets the churches that he is writing to, he gives a great declaration of the Trinity. In so doing we see characteristics of the Godhead, culminating in the great statement of Jesus as the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. What does that mean to us? Listen in and see.
