Genesis is the beginning. . . In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth (Genesis 1:1, ESV). Revelation is the end. . . Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away (Revelation 21:1). There are many similarities between the Book of Genesis and the […]

This is a revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants the events that must soon take place. He sent an angel to present this revelation to his servant John (Revelation 1:1, NLT). Repeat after me, “The Book of Revelation.” Not the Book of Revelations. To understand the Book of Revelation, first, we

Praise the Lord! The smoke from that city ascends forever and ever! (Revelation 19:3, NLT) Revelation chapters 17 through 19 teach that evil has an expiration date.

Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain.

Today’s topic is obvious – Interruption #666 must be about 666! Wisdom is needed here. Let the one with understanding solve the meaning of the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man.

Blessed is the one who reads, and those who hear the words of the prophecy and keep the things which are written in it; for the time is near (Revelation 1:3, ESV).

Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain. And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years (Revelation 20:1-2). The 1,000-year Millennium defines Christian theology about the end-times. Some claim amillennialism (the 1,000
I will grant authority to my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days, clothed in sackcloth.
