The Book of Revelation by Chuck Missler – Hour 2 – Revelation 1


I excitedly got all my homework done – even reading the book of Revelation in one sitting on a Sunday afternoon.  I did my homiletics.  It wasn’t part of the homework, but I want to really, thoroughly study this book.  I’m even reviewing a commentary on Revelation!  So I’m prepped, and psyched to dive into the meat of this prophecy.

Revelation is the unveiling of Christ.  Blessing is promised to the reader and the hearer of the words of this prophecy.  It is penned by the apostle John on the Island of Patmos in 95ish AD.  He was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day at the start of his vision.  The Lord’s day is believed to refer not to the Sabbath, but to the eschatological term referring to the end of the world and Judgment Day.  John saw a vision of the risen Christ and describes Him for us in all His glory.  Hallelujah!

This vision is that “which thou hast seen” as referenced in Revelation 1:19.  The “things which are” refers to the seven churches that we will study over the next several weeks.  The “things which shall be hereafter” is covered in chapters 4 through 22.  We are in for a wild ride!

Homework for next time:  Read the entire book.  Carefully examine chapters 2 & 3.  Outline chapter 2:1-7, summarize the Ephesians’ report card.  Read Acts 20:16-38.  Read Paul’s epistle to the Ephesians.

Homiletics Training: Content

Homiletics .   By definition, “homiletic” is the art of preaching or writing sermons.   I think we would all agree that our pastors study the Bible thoroughly to deliver sermons every Sunday to their congregations.   The beautiful news is that every child of God can use this discipline to study the Bible for themselves. As a member of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Leadership, part of my required preparation each week is to prepare homiletics for the passage we are studying.   BSF offers an engaging seminar on how to use this method to study the Scriptures.   I’ve taken the seminar several times under two different leaders and I’ve learned something new every time I’ve attended.   I’ve also been doing the process of homiletics for over ten years and I can say that there is no better teacher than the Holy Spirit in this process!   So keep practicing.   Keep sharing and discussing.   I’ve been posting my homiletics on this blog for quite a while, now.   And I would like to share wit
