Revelation (Program #11) – Smyrna – the Resurrection Life and Crown of Life

Revelation, a book of prophecies, speaks of many events that have not yet taken place. But also, it speaks of many events that have since taken place. Even the past 2,000 years of church history were clearly foretold in the opening chapters of Revelation.

Revelation (Program #10) – Ephesus – Love, Life and Light

No doubt, hundreds of volumes and countless thousands of pages have been written concerning the 2,000 years of church history since the Lord Jesus established the first church in Jerusalem. Church historians have had much to say as they have looked back through time. But do you realize that the Bible, in just two short chapters in the Book of Revelation, gives an incredibly comprehensive summary of the history, and did it before that history happened.

Revelation (Program #9) – The Son of Man In the Midst of the Churches

The Bible is a book of Christ.  If we have eyes to see, we can see Him not only in every book of the Bible, but really on every page of the Bible.  Revelation, the final book, shows us Christ in so many aspects that we dare not overlook anything if we desire to know Him as He is presented to us in His Holy Word.

Revelation (Program #8) – The Seven Lampstands

It has been said of the Bible that the Old Testament is a book of pictures while the New Testament is a book of captions. But one book in the New Testament is also a book of pictures, and that is Revelation.  Most of the pictures in Revelation, it turns out, are found also in the Old Testament but the view in Revelation has been enlarged. One of these pictures, that is a key to understanding this book is that of the seven golden lampstands seen in chapter 1.

Revelation (Program #7) – The Local Churches

The practical revelation of the churches on the earth is a very crucial matter.  It’s a matter of the churches practically as they are expressed and seen on the earth, not the universal church globally. It’s interesting that this revelation follows in chapter 1, very closely with the matter of the Lord’s coming again. Is this coincidental or is there a purpose?

Revelation (Program #6) – Joint Partaker In the Tribulation Kingdom and Endurance Jesus

Revelation is a book that shows us the Coming of the Lord Jesus. As no other book in the Bible, it’s mentioned in the very first chapter in verse 7, “Behold, He comes with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him…” This verse is the subject of untold Bible studies. But just two verses later, is a verse that is often overshadowed by verse 7, yet it’s a verse that we should surely not miss if we are those who really love His Coming.

Revelation (Program #5) – The Coming Again of Christ

Nearly all Christians agree that the Bible reveals Christ is coming to earth again. The Book of Revelation particularly focuses on this point. But beyond this, there is much disagreement, much confusion on the matter. It seems to be contradictory in certain places in Scripture.

Revelation (Program #4) – The Triune God In Revelation

Of all the books in the Bible, Revelation is quite unique in the way that it reveals things.  John told us himself that this is a book of signs.  But these signs often convey not just the future events of prophecy, but the basic items of the faith as well. Among the basic and fundamental signs it gives us, is to show God to us in His Trinity.

Revelation (Program #3) – The Testimony of Jesus Particular and Consummate

Revelation is a book that shows us many things in many unique ways and among the focal points of this book surprisingly is the churches of God.  Notice the term “churches” and not just the more generic term “church”.  What did these churches look like in Revelation.  What they look like is our subject today.   As we consider the 7 golden lampstands among other things in the book of Revelation.

Revelation (Program #2) – The Revelation of Christ Unique and Ultimate

Of all the signs and pictures given to us in the book of Revelation the one that is most crucial for us to give our attention to is the one presented in the very first verse in this book, Revelation 1:1 “The revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave to Him to show to His slaves the things that must quickly take place; and He made it known by signs, sending it by His angel to His slave John”.
