The Angel and the Book
John sees an angel come down and set his feet upon the land and sea. In his hand is a book that John is told to take and eat. Who is this angel and what is this book? We answer these questions and more as we look at this interlude between the 6th and 7th trumpet judgments.
Bible Text: Revelation 10
Trumpet Time – part 2
The fifth and sixth trumpet judgments are released in Revelation 9 and it brings an onslaught of demonic activity and torment. To reject heaven is to choose hell and here a world that has rejected God is getting a taste of what hell is like. God is providing a better way and giving people an opportunity to turn to Him.
Bible Text: Revelation 9:1-21
A Word to the False Prophets
Jeremiah was continually battling people not taking him seriously. What made things worse is that there were false prophets completely contradicting the things he was saying. But in this chapter, God has a word for these false prophets. Better to stick to the true superior word of God than to listen to that which is inferior.
Bible Text: Jeremiah 23:9-40
Trumpet Time – part 1
As the seventh seal is opened, it reveals the trumpet judgments to come and heaven suddenly turns silent for half an hour. It’s an ominous moment as the judgment of God increases, yet heaven sees God answering the prayers of the saints: Your Kingdom come!
Bible Text: Revelation 8:1-13
A Word to the Kings
Jeremiah’s ministry overlapped the reign of the last 5 kings of Judah. The last four were wicked kings and in this study we see Jeremiah speaking to these 4 kings. It ultimately leads us to the final King that will come and establish a true reign of righteousness!
Bible Text: Jeremiah 21:1-23:8
Sealed, Sent, & Secure
Revelation 7 shows God sealing 144,000 of His servants during the Tribulation. This is incredible because God is continuing to have the Gospel shared even while His judgment is being poured out. This is evident with the multitude we’ll see entering heaven in the second part of Chapter 7.
Bible Text: Revelation 7
The Potter, Prophet, & Policeman
Jeremiah is directed to go down to the Potters house and there he would find the potter at work. Through what Jeremiah saw the Lord would speak to him and give some practical insights to what God was doing with the nation. We also look at some practical application for us as clay in the Potters hand.
Bible Text: Jeremiah 18-20
Who Is Able To Stand?
As the fifth and sixth seals of Revelation are opened, we see the responses in both heaven and earth. Those killed for their faith call out to God from the altar in heaven, while those on earth experience cataclysmic upheaval. The chapter ends with the question, ‘Who is able to stand?’ It’s a question we must all answer. Are you standing on your own, or are you standing in Jesus Christ?
Bible Text: Revelation 6:9-17
You Want Me To Do What?
As if Jeremiah hasn’t already had it tough, now God tells him that he’s not to marry or have children. What’s the reason? How would you deal with that? Why does it seem the Lord withholds certain things from us? We look at some of the reasons and discuss living our lives to their fullest effectiveness for the Lord.
Bible Text: Jeremiah 16-17
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.
Bible Text: Revelation 6:1-8
Reaping What You Sow
For the third time Jeremiah is told not to pray for Judah. The people have reached a point in their sin where there is irreversable damage that is caused. A season is upon them where they must reap what they have sown. God will allow them to face captivity so as to have their hearts ultimately turn back to the Lord. But the Lord continues to give hope, “If you return, then I will bring you back.” (Jer. 15:19)
Jeremiah 14-15
