Revelation 7 – the sealing of the 144,000 and the martyrs worship the Lamb
In Revelation 7, John is given two visions of the future–the first one causing and resulting in the second. The 144,000 of the twelve tribes of Israel are sealed for the tribulation period as God’s servants, who lead a multitude from the nations to believe. They have all missed the rapture and the opportunity to be part of the Bride of Christ, but they are saved.

Our ongoing study of the book of Revelation reaches chapter 6 and the beginning of a period of time perhaps soon to come. A time which was outlined in prophecy by Daniel in the Old Testament. Today we look at Daniel 9 and see what the Lord made known.

Revelation 5:1-10 – “After we rise” part 2 – We return to our look at the throne room of heaven after the rapture to see what happens to set in motion God’s judgment upon the earth. The worship service there intensifies and becomes all the more meaningful when we see the Lamb Who was slain, now forever glorified and ready to act to prepare His chosen nation and the world for His soon-coming Kingdom on earth, as it is in heaven.

Revelation 4 – After We Rise, pt 1. When Christ comes and raptures us from this earth into heaven, what will we see, what will happen, and what will it be like? This passage of scripture tells us, from what the apostle John wrote when he was allowed to experience the vision of this event in advance in the Revelation of Jesus Christ. This message is part of an ongoing apocalyptic series on “The End of All Things,” a verse-by-verse study of the book of Revelation.

“The Sword and the Priest,” a message from Hebrews 4:11-16. All of us who have become children of God by faith in Christ Jesus are taking a test. Jesus, the Savior Who will evaluate us at His judgment seat, is helping us with the test when we turn to Him, and He has already given us the book by which we’ll be evaluated, so that we can be growing stronger in the faith each day until then. He also functions as our priest before the Father, and seeks to help us live victoriously now, for our benefit both now and in eternity.

As modern Christians sometimes we live in a stupor, greatly underestimating how much is riding on our faithfulness or lack of it toward the One who saved us. This message looks at a passage in Hebrews that warns us and exhorts us to persevere and obtain all that a good God wants us to have in His eternal kingdom when we get there.

Jesus, the Proven God.

In Christ’s resurrection of Lazarus, He proved Himself and proved the veracity of His promise to be resurrection and life to all who believe on Him. An Easter Sunday topical look at John 11.
