Fellow Servant? - Revelation 22

As we close this book out, I want to say again how thankful I am to have you guys to read through the Word with! I couldn’t do this on my own - I tried for years. I look forward to reading His Word now and I look forward to reading your emails and your [...]

No More Sorrows - Revelation 21

What an incredible description of the new heaven and new earth. Reading about gold so pure it’s clear like glass, and all these precious gems and stones, and pearls as big as gates practically blows my mind. I’m intrigued, but somehow I can’t relate. It’s hard for me to get excited about these things because [...]

Book or Books? - Revelation 20

Hmmm. Well, this thousands years (the millenium) has me puzzled with my forming timeline understanding. I certainly can’t identify a time period that has already gone by when there was no satan. So, I guess that’s where my “partial” preterest descriptor kicks in.
No matter - when this occurs, just imagine what life will be like. [...]

Preperation Celebration - Revelation 19

Events in this chapter have been cited by premillennial believers. They see this as Jesus’ second coming on a white horse and the army of God dressed in white behind him, and all believers will see Him. However, this confuses me. If you read Paul’s account of His return, it is not described this way:
“For [...]

Fall of Babylon? - Revelation 18

Is it just me? Or, do you also get a familiar feeling when you read this chapter? When I read the descriptions of her (Babylon), I couldn’t help thinking about our world today and how people have turned away from God to pursue their own pleasures and greed. Blatently and out in the open our [...]

God is in Control! - Revelation 17

My weekend was crazybusy, but I wanted to try to catch up on my chapters in Revelation. That’s more difficult than usual because once I read the chapter, all I want to do is understand what I’m reading. But, I don’t have time this morning!
But, I did want to comment on something from chapter 17.
15 [...]

In My Bowl This Morning - Revelation 16

Today, I struggle with my lack of knowledge or understanding. I find myself wanting to know more - performing searches late into the night reading opinions of those on either side of the discussion. This chapter seems to be one of the most perplexing for me from a timeline perspective. I tried to step completely [...]

“Crystal Sea Mixed With Fire” - Revelation 15

How’s everyone holding in there so far in Revelation? I’ve been getting some very interesting emails and thoughts. It has been a challenge, but just reading through the book has given me a valuable perspective on things - and a strong desire to study more!
In this chapter, I noticed the glassy sea with fire. I [...]

A Wonderful New Song - Revelation 14

As you may have guessed, I’m intrigued by the sounds and songs described in this chapter:
2 And I heard a sound from heaven like the roaring of a great waterfall or the rolling of mighty thunder. It was like the sound of many harpists playing together. 3 This great choir sang a wonderful new song [...]

The Unholy Trinity - Revelation 13

Yikes! There is so much happening in this chapter.
The beast from the sea described here may be a description of the Roman empire (from the preterist view). But it also symbolizes the Antichrist. And the beast from the earth, his false prophet with powers not unlike the holy spirit to do miracles and lull [...]
