Sermon by: Brian Birdow
The document provides an overview of the Bible, including its composition, transmission, and importance. It discusses the Bible as a collection of writings containing God's record and revelation of his interaction with mankind. It also examines perspectives on what the Bible is, how it was assembled and canonized, important translations, and why it is significant as a guide for faith, teaching, and living according to God's word.
What does it mean to be unequally yoked? I contend that, given the literary of cultural/historical context of 2 Corinthians 6:14, Paul is most likely telling the Corinthian church not to become partners with those who were engaging in idol feasts in pagan temples -- for they (the church) are the temple of the Living God (cf. 1 Cor 3:16, 1 Cor 6:19).
Though few worship idols at pagan temples in our society today, there are several idols that are certainly worshiped (money, power, sexual immorality, self, etc.). As in the first century, we in the 21st century should not join others in idolatrous practices.

Ezekiel was a prophet called by God to serve as a watchman for Israel. Through symbolic actions like lying on his side for 430 days and preaching, Ezekiel warned Israel of coming judgment for their sins and idolatry. He also had visions of Israel's future restoration, including receiving a new heart and spirit, dry bones coming to life, and the rebuilt temple. Ezekiel prophesied of a time when Satan will be bound for 1000 years and Christ will rule during the Millennial Kingdom before the final battle and judgment. The Minor Prophets also warned Israel and surrounding nations while offering hope for the future through messages focused on obedience, justice, and restoration.
Similar to Revelation Part 2 - The Eschatology Debates (20)
The passage discusses how through faith in Jesus Christ, believers have peace with God and access to his grace. It notes that believers find hope in suffering because it produces endurance, character and ultimately more hope, since God's love has been poured into their hearts by the Holy Spirit.
The sixth angel sounds his trumpet and releases four angels that were bound at the great river Euphrates. The four angels lead an army of 200 million horsemen who kill a third of mankind with fire, smoke, and brimstone that proceeds from their mouths. Those who survive do not repent of worshipping demons and idols.
The fifth angel sounds his trumpet, releasing locusts from the bottomless pit upon the earth. The locusts are given power to torment people for five months but not kill them, causing them to seek death but be unable to find it. Though the locusts plague the people, they do not repent of their sins. The locusts have a king over them, the angel of the abyss, named Abaddon or Apollyon in Hebrew and Greek. This is the first of three woes described in Revelation.
The document summarizes the events of the second, third, and fourth trumpets from Revelation 8:8-13. It describes a great mountain burning and being thrown into the sea, turning a third of the sea to blood and destroying sea life and ships (second trumpet). It then describes a great star falling from heaven and poisoning a third of rivers and springs, making the water undrinkable (third trumpet). Finally, it tells of a third of the sun, moon, and stars being struck so that a third of light from them was darkened (fourth trumpet). Biblical references are provided for further context.
The document describes events from the book of Revelation chapter 8. When the seventh seal is broken, there is silence in heaven. Seven angels are given seven trumpets. Another angel offers incense and prayers to God. The angel throws the censer to the earth, causing natural disasters.

The document describes two groups - Church Age Saints and Tribulation Saints. Church Age Saints are kept out of the Great Tribulation by the rapture while Tribulation Saints come out of the tribulation through martyrdom. Both groups are before God's throne in heaven clothed in white, but there are differences in their positions, crowns, and roles.
The document discusses the 144,000 witnesses described in Revelation 7 and 14. It describes how four angels hold back winds to prevent harm until the 144,000 servants of God are sealed. The 144,000 are 12,000 from each of the 12 tribes of Israel and are said to be redeemed from the earth and follow the Lamb without fault, having kept themselves chaste.
Revelation 6:9-17, Lesson 21 the Fifth & Sixth Sealsblackforestchapel

2) When the sixth seal is broken, there is a great earthquake, the sun turns black, the moon red, stars fall, and mountains move. People hide in caves and rocks, crying out for the mountains to fall on them to escape God's wrath.
3) These events parallel other biblical passages describing the tribulation, darkness, shaking of heavens and earth, and people seeking
The document discusses the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse described in Revelation 6:1-8. It summarizes that the first horseman represents conquest on a white horse, the second represents war on a red horse, the third represents famine on a black horse, and the fourth represents death on a pale horse, followed by Hades. The horsemen are part of the judgments that will befall the earth during the end times tribulation period described in Revelation.
The passage describes a scene in heaven where the Lamb (Jesus Christ) takes a sealed book from the one sitting on the throne. The four living creatures and 24 elders fall down before the Lamb and sing a new song praising him for being slain and purchasing people for God with his blood. They acknowledge him as making the redeemed people a kingdom and priests to God. A great multitude of angels join in worshipping the Lamb for being worthy to receive power, riches, wisdom and other attributes. All of creation is described as praising God and the Lamb forever.
The document discusses what the world would be like without God and Jesus Christ. It suggests that without God there would be no forgiveness, hope, kindness or love between people. The world would essentially be like "hell" without the presence of God and the salvation offered through Jesus. Several Bible verses are referenced that discuss mankind's sinful nature and need for salvation through faith in Jesus Christ.
The document discusses who Jesus is according to the Bible. It summarizes that Jesus is the Lord God Almighty, the Savior of the world, the Messiah, the Lord of all creation, the Son of God, and the Lord Jesus Christ.
The document discusses tithing and giving to the church. It provides biblical references that talk about giving a tenth of what one produces or owns to God. It also discusses passages in 2 Corinthians that encourage believers to give generously from what they have been given. The document emphasizes that tithing is about commitment to God's mission rather than personal finances or circumstances. It concludes by stating the vision for Black Forest Chapel is to worship and proclaim Christ to the community through preaching, worship, fellowship, and witness.
The document describes John's vision in Revelation of four living creatures surrounding God's throne. Each creature had six wings and eyes all over, and they took on aspects of a lion, calf, man, and eagle. They continually praised God as holy. Twenty-four elders also worshipped God, recognizing he created all things and deserves glory. The living creatures and elders modeled worship of the worthy God.
The document describes John's vision of the throne room in heaven as described in Revelation 4-5. In his vision, John sees a door standing open in heaven and is called up to see what will take place. He sees God sitting on a throne that resembles jasper and sardius stones, surrounded by a rainbow. Around the throne are 24 other thrones where 24 elders sit wearing white garments and golden crowns.
The seven sealed scroll in Revelation 5 represents a deed of redemption. Each seal that is broken reveals what must occur for the kinsman redeemer to repossess what was lost. No one was found worthy to open the scroll until the Lion from the tribe of Judah, Jesus Christ, was revealed as having overcome sin and death to redeem mankind. Jesus is described as both the sacrificial Lamb that was slain, referring to his first coming, and the Lion referring to his second coming as sovereign judge.
This document discusses the importance of faith and being spiritually awake. It references several Bible passages about waking up from spiritual slumber. It warns that non-believers are asleep without faith and believers can have a dead faith if they are not vigilant. The document encourages readers to revive their faith and be purified so they are holy in the sight of God.
Teaching Elder Duke Shelley of Black Forest Chapel continues a series on Revelation. Part 14 explores further the letter to the Church at Philadelphia.
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

PHASE-IV
The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.
PHASE V
From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.
Blink the eyes slowly, gently open the eyes and come out of meditation.
God calls us to a journey of worshiping Him. In this journey you will encounter different obstacles and derailments that will want to sway you from worshiping God. You got to be intentional in breaking the barriers staged on your way of worship in order to offer God acceptable worship.
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.
The Book of Revelation, filled with symbolic and apocalyptic imagery, presents one of its most striking visions in Revelation 9:3-12—the locust army. Understanding the significance of this locust army provides insight into the broader themes of divine judgment, protection, and the ultimate triumph of God’s will as depicted in Revelation.
