The Great Tribulation: God's Judgmental and Redemptive Activity

Gary DeLashmutt

Revelation 6-16

John describes what we can expect in the end times: God's judgmental and redemptive acts. God allows humanity to rebel against Him, but one day He will reluctantly alienate those who do not accept His leadership. His desire, however, is for people to turn toward Him. So, while in the final days He will act as judge, He will also reach out to people in extraordinary ways to reveal the path to salvation.

Introduction to Revelation

Gary DeLashmutt

Revelation 1

An overview of the book of Revelation including analyzing the style, structure, and the purpose of the book. John wanted to fortify the believers to follow him to withstand persecution. In this letter to seven churches within the province of Asia, he emphasizes who Jesus really is ? both king and savior ? and we see the importance of relating to Jesus as both.

History's Final Chapter (Part 2)

Jim Leffel

Mark 13:9-37

Jesus speaks to his disciples on the Mountain of Olives about the end times. He now begins to speak about specific details that will announce his second coming. The purpose of this prophetic teaching is to give the disciples confidence in God's ability to fulfill prophecies, and to warn them about that which is to come.

History's Final Chapter (Part 1)

Jim Leffel

Mark 13:1-8

How can we trust that prophesies that have not yet been fulfilled will come to pass? By looking at the prophesies God has already fulfilled. Jesus begins to speak of the end times, and warns that we must be wary of those who would try to deceive us by pretending to be Christ returned. Jesus speaks about signs and events that will tell us the second coming is really near.

Considered Philosophically and Prophetically

Dennis McCallum

Revelation 12:9-13

Are we becoming so politically correct that we can't call an evil act exactly what it is? Will holding to objective truths lead to violence? We see that when put to the test our post-modern consensus fails the test of reality. We look into what real truth is and what true prophesying, such as comparing the foretelling of the regathering of Israel against vague works like Nostradamus.

Keeping it Together in a World Falling Apart (Part 2)

Jim Leffel

2 Timothy 4:1-4

Toward the end of human history, people will become increasingly selfish and concerned with satisfying their own desires. Spirituality, then, will follow suit and feature doctrines that are centered on increasing self-esteem, pleasure, and prosperity. This new spirituality will even redefine truth as individual and validated by one's own feelings instead of external sources. The Bible's message of forgiveness only through Jesus Christ, however, is the message that can best meet people's needs, and Christians should boldly preach, declare, and apply God's Word to the watching world.

Keeping it Together in a World Falling Apart (Part 1)

Jim Leffel

Hebrews 4:12

Towards the end of human history, humanity will turn towards selfishness and a growing coldness towards other people. This trend will produce religion that is centered around meeting people's felt needs rather than the truth, but unfortunately this type of religion will not relieve the legitimate guilt that people feel or meet people's true relational needs. Authentic Christianity, however, features direct revelation from God through the Bible, and this revelation is both powerful and accessible. All Christians are capable of learning the truths of the Bible and becoming convinced of its validity and usefulness through personal interaction with God and study. A video testimony from Kyle Hanser is included.

The Great Tribulation (Part 3)

Dennis McCallum

Matthew 24

While Jesus explains the details of the end of the world, the natural question of timing arise. When will these things take place? Although we can know many of the signs, we cannot know the specific time. Because of this, Christians should strive to be alert, focused, and live with a sense of urgency.

Mark 13

Three New Testament chapters combine to give a more full picture of Jesus' description of the end times. Humanity as a race cannot fix itself and needs rescued, and God intends to do that.
