John uses a combination of Daniel 7 and Psalm 110:1

The Son of Man “I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And came near before Him. And to Him was given dominion, Glory, and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations, and men of every tongue Might serve Him. His  dominion is an everlasting  dominion Which will not be taken away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed. Daniel 7:13-14

Yahweh says to my Lord: “Sit at My right hand Until I put Your enemies as a footstool for Your feet.” Psalm 110:1 (most quoted OT verse in NT)

Eternal Gospel, Day of the Lord, Wine of Wrath

And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, that they be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,  and that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.  Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of man; and his number is 666. Revelation 13:16-18

The Beast! What or Who is it?

Moving to Ohio. Raising Adults. Breaking Down your New Testament Reading Plan.

Why are we so afraid of dying? What is a MPOA & Living Will? Most Important: What is Fly Fishing???

Revelation 9 Trumpet Five. Who is Abaddon/Apollyon? Refresher on the bottomless pit (Abyss). What are Demons? Believe it or not, we discuss Greek Mythology.

Revelation 8:6-13 describe the first four trumpets. Watch for the similarities between these and the plagues of Egypt found in the book of Exodus. Remember that the plagues were directed to the Egyptian gods. A “third” is used in Zechariah but not in the same way as its use in Revelation. The star is called “Wormwood”. This star strikes a third of the water which because “wormwood” leading to the death of those who drink it.

Rev. 7  Who are the 144,000? How do we understand the Great Tribulation? God’s people are to be marked and set apart from the destruction of God’s wrath. What does John Hear then See?

Revelation VI: 4 Horsemen, 7 Seals, Divine Warrior, Blood Altar, Black Sun, Blood Moon & Falling Stars

This episode is packed full of information John uses from the Old Testament. Warning: lots of notes!

Revelation 5: Scrolls, Seals and the Lamb 

Part II: What is gemstone terminology? Who are the 24 elders? Why so much thunder, fire, lighting, clouds, mountains trembling and much more. 

Current Series - OT in Revelation: As we wrap up chapter two, these questions will be answered. What does Manna have to do with Heaven? Who receives the White Stone and what is written on it? What happens at the Heavenly Banquet? What is Name Theology? What is the meaning of the Morning Star? All this and more in this episode of the Book of Jude. 

What was the Church of Ephesus' first love? I've changed my mind on this teaching. We need to be more specific about what we mean when we reference their "first love". What is significant about removing the lampstand? What does the Church of Ephesus and Pergamum have to do with Old Testament characters, Balaam and Jezebel?  Answer: sexual immorality and idol worship.   

Season Finale: We close with major NT variants, resources used, and plans for the future. My hope is that you have become more knowledgeable of the Bible. That your confidence in God's Word has grown and matured. The Old and New Testament can and should be trusted. I pray now you are more equipped when confronted with supposed contradictions. This series was long, boring at times, but well worth it. Thank you for your support.
