Why is there Silence in Heaven? from 2022-05-25T14:36:01

Why Do Angels Answer their Own Questions? from 2022-05-16T16:12:55

The Nations of the New Creation from 2022-05-02T08:30

In this episode of our Revelation series, we take a wide lens look at the theme of God saving all the nations throughout the Bible. And this wide lends journey leads us to a very important and intr...

In the first paragraph of Revelation 7, there's a lot going on: angels related to the wind and sun; seals being put on foreheads of 144,000 people; and more. We take a deeper look at these themes i...

Is the Rapture a Thing? from 2022-05-01T12:45:50

When many people think about Revelation and the apocalypse, they think of the rapture. But strangely enough, there's nothing (at least explicit) about a rapture in the book of Revelation. Since we'...

The Wrath of the Lamb? from 2022-05-01T12:43:40

Once the sixth seal of Revelation is opened, the world seems to start falling apart as the "wrath of the lamb" begins. What should we do with this fairly terrifying passage and how does it connect ...

Waiting Patiently for God's Justice from 2022-05-01T12:39:26

All throughout the Bible, God's people ask him about his justice. Sometimes it seems far off and other times it seems delayed. This can lead many to ask the question, "Does he not care about what's...

Is Jesus Riding the White Horse? from 2022-03-23T10:00

At the end of Revelation we catch a clear glimpse of Jesus riding a white horse. For that reason, many naturally assume that the rider of the white horse amongst the four horsemen in Revelation 6 m...

Where Did John Get the Four Horsemen From? from 2022-03-21T10:00

John loves to hodgepodge Old Testament passages into Revelation and then give them a bit of a twist to capture his readers mind in a surprising way. In the case of the four horsemen, he borrows fro...

Saints and Holy Ones from 2022-03-16T08:00

Scrolls and Seals from 2022-03-14T12:23:13

Jesus Writes to Thyatira (Revelation 2:18-29) from 2022-02-02T10:30

Shiny Jesus Face (Revelation 1:16) from 2022-01-17T11:00

Jesus's Mouth Sword (Revelation 1:16) from 2022-01-12T11:00

Are Angels Appointed to Churches? from 2022-01-11T12:24:57

A Kingdom of Priests from 2021-12-08T11:17:23
