The Book of Revelation by Chuck Missler – Hour 13 – Revelation 6


After a re-hashing of what we’ve learned so far:  the outline of the book of Revelation, the identity of the 24 elders, some great highlights from the book of Ruth, the 70 weeks and the order of events in the end times; we dove into the seven-sealed scroll.

I have never done a study of the five horsemen of the apocalypse before – yes, there are FIVE horsemen!  But after Dr. Missler’s presentation of the first four horsemen, I would love to make a study of this subject!  Which leads me to a recommendation:  since Chuck presents so much information during the course of his Bible studies, keep a running list of the things you want to take the time to study for yourself!  That way, when you have a long weekend or some quiet time, you can choose one of those topics and do a study on your own!

We continue talking about avenging the blood of the saints, earthquakes and celestial happenings which leads to a lengthy – and quite interesting – discussion on the fabric of space.  We then moved to a comparison of the parallels between the books of Joshua and Revelation.  This is fascinating.  I need to make a careful list of the parallels.

So, there’s the first six seals.  Structurally, there is a break after the sixth seal.  We know it as chapter seven.  Then come the trumpets.  Again, six will be presented and there will be a break – chapters 10 through 14 – then the seventh trumpet.  Finally, the first six bowls are presented.  Then we have a third break – chapter 16 – and then the seventh bowl is poured out.

There is going to be a very interesting view from the mezzanine.  Tell all of your friends and loved ones to secure their seat, now.

Homework for next time:  Read Revelation 7 & 14.  Which tribes are missing and why?  Summarize the mysterious prophecies of the Tribe of Dan.  What is the role of the 144,000?

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...

Armor of God – Week One – Sizing Up The Enemy

Welcome to Boot Camp!   For the next seven weeks we will be training with our weapons (God’s Word and prayer) in preparation for the battle of our lives and the lives of others!   And we will be learning how to equip ourselves with the Armor of God. Priscilla Shirer’s Armor of God Bible study is a MUST-DO for EVERY BIBLE STUDENT!   I don’t mean to shout, but I can’t emphasize this enough!!!   We are at war boys and girls.   And our enemy wants to keep us in the dark about that fact.   If he can convince us that he does not exist or that our God is not good or that we are not loved and treasured by the King and Creator of the Universe, he wins the battle.   But can I share something with you?   OUR ENEMY HAS ALREADY LOST THE WAR!!!!!   His time is short and he is grasping at anything we leave dangling in an attempt to drag us down.   So let’s not leave too much dangling. My church begins the Armor of God study tonight (9/9/15). ...
