Episode Details

In this Sunday Bible Study episode, I kick off a new series on the Book of Revelation—building on our recently completed 18‑week dispensations study. I lay the groundwork with key terms and positions we’ll use throughout, including Babylon, dispensationalism, premillennialism, and pre‑tribulationism, and why a literal reading of Revelation matters.

We explore common objections to Revelation, the significance of its dating, and how Scripture interprets Scripture by connecting Joel 2 with Revelation 6. I outline the structure of the book—from the glorified Christ in chapter 1, the seven churches in chapters 2–3, the rapture picture in chapter 4, through the tribulation cycles to chapter 19, and the 1,000‑year reign in chapter 20—emphasizing God’s shift from grace to wrath in this period. I also encourage listeners to track prophetic developments in Israel and the Middle East as we prepare to walk chapter‑by‑chapter through this grand book in the weeks ahead.

Resources mentioned: Revelation 1–3, 6–7, 19–20; Joel 2:28–32; references to prior series on dispensations and spiritual warfare; encouragement to read and note cross‑references during personal study. Join us next week as we dive into Revelation chapter 1 and the vision of the glorified Christ.
