In six short verses, we read about a thousand year kingdom where the saints are resurrected to reign with Christ on Earth, fulfilling all the promises of the Old Testament prophets about a restored Israel amongst the other nations. My hope is that this sermon helps their DBR reading in the Old Testament prophets come to life!

In Revelation 19, Jesus finally returns to earth to conquer those who oppose him with all the encouragement of heaven praising him!

Joash was a young prince who was thrust into the kingship of Judah with the spiritual help of Jehoiada the priest. But when Jehoiada died, Joash’s faith proved to be borrowed, not his own and he ran into sin. Our students should be warned from this royal failure in the OT!

John hears multiple choruses of a lament song about the destruction of the end-times world system and city called Babylon, from the perspective of heaven and from the world’s allies. Our students are warned by this song not to be entangled in love with the world and its stuff.

John sees a vision of a woman named Babylon, the ugly personification of evil and end times false religion. We can learn many important lessons of the nature of sin and our need to remain faithful to God.

We studied the final vision of God’s judgment, where his angels pour out the seven bowls of wrath on an unrepentant world.

John sees a vision of two beasts that represent the end-time Antichrist and False Prophet, then visions of Christ with his 144,000 after their final victory. The two sides of the battle are set, and people today need to choose which side they will be on.

John sees a vision of a dragon, a woman, and a child which symbolizes Satan, Israel, and Christ. The bottom line is that Satan hates God, his Christ, and his people, but one day he will be soundly defeated.
