The Book of Revelation by Chuck Missler – Hour 19 – Revelation 14


Chapter 14 is the final part of the break between the sixth and seventh trumpets.  The Lamb stands on Mount Zion with the 144,000 Jews – Chuck calls them the 144,000 commandos!  Chuck suggests that heaven isn’t as far away as we imagine – that it may be another dimension of our present existence.  Is it just me?  Or does that sound like Frank Piretti’s “This Present Darkness”?

Anyway, back to Zion.  This is apparently where Jesus will be placed on the throne of David.  This is one prophecy that has yet to be fulfilled.  And it will be fulfilled when Jesus reigns during the millennium.  We’ll talk about that more in a couple weeks.

The Warrior-King that the Jews expected when Christ first came is the Ruler Who will come for us.  And when He returns with His army, those of us who are part of His body will return with Him.  Ooh, I’ve got chills!  I cannot wait.

Homework for next time:  Read chapters 15 & 16.

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). ...
