"description":"John saw further from his island prison than any other man in history; A quick summary of the things John saw; A contrast of being omnipresent with being ubiquitous; Everything good has been a cause of contention; The vocabulary used in Revelation matches the vocabulary of the other books of the Bible that carry John\u2019s name; Three schools of interpretation; How teachers of end-times prophecy have destroyed our hope; End-times beliefs ought not be taken as a test of orthodoxy; Be holy in preparation for Christ\u2019s return.",
"description":"The vain hope of peace on Earth; Patience: the power to wait; The rider on the white horse rules by duplicity; The rider on the red horse brings war; Our pampered opulence will be our downfall; Pray for leaders.",
"description":"The altar of martyred souls; The fallacy of soul-sleep; Four states of a ransomed man: lost on earth, saved on earth, waiting in heaven, glorified in heaven; The men who thought they could control things will someday cry out for the rocks to fall on them; Who shall be able to stand? He who has forsaken the world.",
"description":"The four corners of the earth; The characteristics of angels; Materialism; Believing in belief in the supernatural rather than believing in the supernatural; We own nothing; Difference in degrees in heavenly life; Who are the 144,000? Christian cultists; Our religion isn\u2019t costing us very much.",
"description":"The outcome of all things will be determined by the prayers of the saints; God speaks in many ways but sinning men are not listening; Too much vain preaching causes truth to be treated callously; Will we hear the trumpet if we cannot hear the still small voice? You\u2019ve heard so much and done so little.",
"description":"Spiritual creatures from another world move in on our world; The world is essentially spiritual; We focus too much on the physical and ignore the spirit; Death is not the worst thing that can happen to a man; Failing God is the worst thing that can happen to a man; God holds our lives in His hand; Rebellious men cannot be forced to repent; It would be better to die right than to live wrong.",
"description":"God does not forget His promises; Everybody ought to read Church history and the biographies of the saints; While grace is still operative there will be no end to the human race; God is going to judge a world that is ill prepared for judgment; You might get away with just about anything here, but there is a place where you won\u2019t get away with anything.",
"description":"God\u2019s Word is bitter to the flesh: people who live by it come to trouble in the world; We ought not pity people who suffer from the results of sin\u2014our suffering is our own fault; If we were in Heaven truth would be universally sweet, but since we are not, it is very harsh and bitter to us so we compromise it; Christians often want to use the cross to save us from the cross\u2014thinking that if we behave ourselves like good Christians, we\u2019ll avoid trouble the rest of our lives; The book is very sweet while you chew it, so long as you don\u2019t swallow it; A revival in a church is when a good percentage of the people decide to swallow the book.",
"description":"Without prophecy, modern Christianity would be in pretty bad shape; Revelation is the disclosing of that which could not otherwise be known; How curiosity comes near to blasphemy; No secret key to understanding the Scriptures; Merely knowing the Scriptures profits us nothing; Many things God has given us as blessings have been turned into curses; Knowing the meaning of the symbols in Revelation will not make us any better off; When the Lord will come is of less importance than whether we are prepared when He does.",
"description":"The essence of Christianity; The eternal God as seen from man\u2019s perspective; The seven-fold Spirit as revealed in Isaiah; The illumination of the Holy Spirit more beneficial than scholastic learning; Jesus Christ is prophet, priest, and king; Grace to us, glory to Him; We have been made kings and priests; Jesus is coming back in the same manner as He was seen to go; Every eye will see Him, and those that knew Him will recognize Him.",
"description":"Three doctrines of the end; The king must be a native of the earth; The king must have unspotted holiness; The king must have unchallenged right to reign; The failings of earthly leaders; Jesus is compassionate enough to rule; Jesus is wise enough to rule; Jesus has the power to rule. (Text from Psalm 2 rather than Revelation)",
"description":"Difficulties in describing the indescribable; Two substances in the universe: God and His handiwork; The symbols for God ought not be confused with God Himself; Judgment comes according to the light a people has received; When you love someone, you can never have too many pictures of them; The four creatures; Unceasing worship; Are you fulfilling your purpose?",
"description":"Differing opinions about the book; The ownership of the world is challenged; Several types of men who have failed in their attempts to prove ownership over the world; God blesses the man with tears in his eyes; Politics cannot solve our problems.",
"description":"The lion of the tribe of Judah has prevailed; Jesus is Victor! The lion is a lamb; Jesus defeated His enemies by dying for them; The law of the jungle is the law of sin and death; Man conquers by spilling the blood of his enemies, while Christ conquered by shedding His own blood; Following God is both easy and hard; Learn to live like a lamb.",
