We praise God first for who he is, then what He has done and what is yet to come. Revelation is God's preview that any worldly system built on principles other than God's will go under and His Kingdom will come.
While scholars differ on the specifics of Revelation 20, the general message is clear. Christ will return and establish His kingdom, reward His people, and judge all that is unrighteous.
The document describes John's vision in Revelation 14 of 144,000 people standing with the Lamb of God in heaven who are redeemed from the earth. It provides both a positive reinforcement of the exuberant joy experienced by those who accept Christ, as well as a negative deterrent against worshipping the beast through warnings of God's coming judgment. The vision serves as a sneak peek and reminder from God of why one should remain faithful to Him through committed obedience rather than allowing the world to lead them into unfaithfulness and sin.
The document provides a summary of key events and themes in the book of Revelation:
1. John receives a series of visions from Jesus revealing future events including Satan's attacks on the church, God's judgment and destruction, and God and the church rejoicing in heaven.
2. Saints reign with Christ in heaven for 1,000 years before Satan's brief return and final destruction.
3. The righteous will dwell with God in heaven, where there is perfect fellowship, protection, and provision - represented by the holy city New Jerusalem descending from heaven.
4. The book emphasizes witnesses to its message - an angel, Jesus, John, and the Spirit and bride - and ends with final instructions,
The elder asks John who the people clothed in white robes are. John doesn't know, so the elder explains they are those who have come out of the great tribulation and have washed their robes white in the blood of the Lamb. They stand before God's throne serving him day and night in his temple. They will never be hungry, thirsty, or harmed by the sun again, as the Lamb will shepherd and guide them to springs of living water, and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.
Matthew 10, Disciples, Apostles, wolves, Fear God, Boasting, ss, Jesus Launc...Valley Bible Fellowship
Jesus calls his twelve disciples and gives them power over unclean spirits and to heal diseases. He sends them out two by two to preach about the kingdom of heaven. Jesus warns them that they will face persecution from religious and political leaders, and even from within their own families. He tells them not to fear those who can kill the body but cannot kill the soul, but to fear God who can destroy both body and soul in hell.

What did jesus mean by i beheld satan fall from heaven laindonPaul Fuller
Jesus was referring to Satan's original fall from heaven as described in scripture. When the 70 disciples returned from their mission announcing that even demons were subject to them through Jesus' name, Jesus saw this as Satan being cast down from heaven. He told them that while controlling spirits was significant, their true cause for rejoicing was that their names were written in heaven, referring to salvation. The document explores related biblical passages around demons, healing, and God's power over Satan.

The document argues that Mecca is the biblical Mystery Babylon based on several points:
1) Several prophets including Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel refer to Babylon being located in the desert regions associated with Edom, which is modern day Saudi Arabia.
2) Revelation describes Mystery Babylon as a great city by the sea that engages in great wealth and trade, fitting Mecca as a trade center on the Red Sea.
3) The religious practices of Mystery Babylon are described as "sexual immorality" and embracing false gods, which the document asserts applies to the religion centered in Mecca.
4) Bible prophecies foretell Babylon's eventual destruction by fire, linking to the potential future
A background look at the person (Daniel) and the circumstances surrounding his exile from Jerusalem to Babylon as well as a first description of the dream that forms the basis for Daniel’s prophecies.
O little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee to-night.
For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of his heaven.
No ear may hear his coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive him, still
The dear Christ enters in.
Where children pure and happy
Pray to the blessed Child,
Where misery cries out to thee,
Son of the mother mild;
Where charity stands watching
And faith holds wide the door,
The dark night wakes, the glory breaks,
And Christmas comes once more.
O holy Child of Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin and enter in,
Be born in us to-day.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel!
The document describes the war in heaven between Christ and Satan in which Satan was defeated and cast out of heaven down to earth along with his angels. It references biblical passages that describe Satan's fall from heaven as well as subsequent battles where Satan was defeated, such as the temptation of Jesus, Christ's death and resurrection, people becoming Christians, and Christians remaining faithful. The overall message is that Christ defeated Satan in the original war in heaven and continues defeating him through believers today.
The document summarizes events from the book of Acts surrounding Pentecost. It describes Jesus' disciples gathering in an upper room in Jerusalem and receiving the Holy Spirit, as described in Acts 2:1-4. It then quotes the prophet Joel about God pouring out His Spirit. The summary concludes by noting that about 3,000 people were baptized after Peter's sermon on Pentecost and the early church grew as people devoted themselves to fellowship and sharing possessions.
This document discusses the biblical story of Belshazzar seeing a hand write a mysterious message on the wall during a feast. It summarizes the key events and messages:
1) Belshazzar held a feast where he drank from holy vessels from Jerusalem, praising gods of gold. This angered God.
2) That night, a hand appeared and wrote on the wall in an unknown language. Daniel was called to interpret it.
3) Daniel told Belshazzar the writing said "God has numbered your kingdom and finished it." Belshazzar was killed that night and Darius the Mede took the kingdom.
The prophet Daniel interprets Nebuchadnezzar's dream that is a warning against his own pride. God uses Daniel for the purpose of getting through the king because that's what God does. God's purpose in the world is his own glory; that is, to make himself known, and he will involve his people in accomplishing that.
The passage from Malachi 3:1-5 describes how the Lord will send a messenger to prepare the way for him. When the Lord comes, he will purify his people like refining silver to remove impurities. Those who do not repent of sins like sorcery, adultery, perjury, fraud, oppression of widows and orphans, and injustice against foreigners will face God's judgment. The Lord calls the people to fear him and bring righteous offerings.

God created the earth and heavens before any plants had grown from the ground. At that time, the earth was watered only by underground springs. God then formed man from the dirt and breathed life into him. The Bible references God's gift of water throughout, describing how he provides water from springs, rivers, and pools to sustain life and symbolize salvation, forgiveness, and eternal life for those who believe. Water is freely given to those who are thirsty.
This document discusses what it means to be a disciple of Christ and follow Him. It states that disciples are slowly raised through trials, sufferings, and temptations. True disciples desire constant growth through studying God's word and spending time in prayer. Following Christ means choosing to follow His call no matter the cost, sacrificing ourselves, and being willing to confess Him even if it means we could be killed.
King Saul pursued David to kill him, and David found Saul alone in a cave where David had the opportunity to kill Saul but spared him. David then called out to Saul and humbly showed Saul the piece of his robe that he had cut to prove that he meant Saul no harm.

Jesus is our decoder pin. He is the interpretation of scriptures, the explanation of the Father, and our example for life. You may believe in Him, but how well do you believe Him?
The document describes passages from the Book of John about John the Baptist and his testimony regarding Jesus. It discusses how John the Baptist came to testify about Jesus as the light and to prepare the way for Him. John the Baptist said he was not the Christ or Elijah but was sent to baptize with water and bear witness to Jesus, who was the true light. The document emphasizes that John the Baptist knew who he was by knowing who he was not, and that God introduces Jesus through people who bear witness to Him in their words and deeds so that others may believe.
The passage describes Jesus teaching his disciples about forgiveness. When Peter asks how many times he must forgive someone, Jesus says forgiveness must be unlimited - up to "seventy times seven". Jesus then tells a parable about a servant who was forgiven a huge debt by his master but refused to forgive a fellow servant who owed him a small debt. The unforgiving servant was punished for his lack of mercy. Jesus' teachings emphasize that as those who have been forgiven much by God, his followers must in turn freely and generously forgive others.
The document summarizes several passages from Acts chapter 1 that describe Jesus' appearances after his resurrection and instructions to the apostles. It notes that Jesus appeared for 40 days, speaking about the kingdom of God and telling the apostles to wait in Jerusalem for the Holy Spirit. Jesus then ascended into heaven while the apostles watched. Two men told them Jesus would return in the same way before disappearing.
The church as "the temple of God" is called to be led by the Spirit, fed by God's Word, and offered up to God as a "living sacrifice" in daily service.
The document summarizes passages from Mark 3:20-30 about Jesus being accused of having an unclean spirit by religious leaders when he casts out demons. It discusses the unforgivable sin of blasphemy against the Holy Spirit and says opinions must be grounded in clear scripture. It argues that suicide does not fit the category of unforgivable sin based on the scriptures and that one's relationship to Jesus determines their fate, not dying in perfection.
The Five Love Languages God Speaks Your Language part 1 (words of affirmation...Network Bible Fellowship
The document discusses using words to build others up according to their needs and imitating God by living in love. It encourages avoiding unhelpful, bitter, or angry speech and instead speaking kindly, forgivingly, and affirmingly. Words have power and should be mastered to communicate love by intentionally building others up and asking if what one says is helpful before speaking. The overall message is about rejecting what destroys community and promoting compassion that builds community through thoughtful, purposeful communication.
Jesus appeared to the eleven disciples on a mountain in Galilee where he had told them to meet. When they saw him, they worshipped, though some doubted. Jesus told them he had been given all authority in heaven and on earth. He commanded them to make disciples of all nations by baptizing them and teaching them to obey all his commands. Jesus promised to be with them always to the end of the age.
This document contains passages from the book of John describing Jesus' teachings to his disciples about the Holy Spirit. It summarizes that Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit to teach the disciples and remind them of what Jesus had taught. The Holy Spirit would take the things of Christ and help the disciples understand and apply them, enabling them to know God's peace. The Spirit would build upon the foundations Jesus had already laid and lead the disciples into deeper truths.
The document contains passages from Philippians 3 discussing Paul's view that knowing Christ is more important than legalistic righteousness or confidence in the flesh. He considers his previous accomplishments as rubbish compared to knowing Christ. Paul's goal is to know Christ through sharing in his sufferings and resurrection in order to attain resurrection from the dead. The document encourages focusing on relational intimacy with Christ over religious practices and removing hindrances to spiritual growth like old ways of thinking.
The document contains passages from Matthew 24 describing signs that will precede Jesus' return, including references to the abomination of desolation, great distress for pregnant women and nursing mothers, the appearance of false Christs and false prophets performing signs and miracles to deceive people. It warns that when these signs begin to take place, Jesus' return is near, but notes that no one knows the exact day or hour of his return except God the Father.
The Five Love Languages God Speaks Your Language part 5 (Physical Touch)Network Bible Fellowship
The document summarizes a passage from the Gospel of Mark where Jesus teaches his disciples about letting children come to him. When the disciples try to stop people from bringing children to Jesus, he is indignant and says the kingdom of God belongs to those who have childlike faith. Jesus then takes the children in his arms, places his hands on them, and blesses them. The document uses this story as an example of how touch can communicate love and acceptance from God by noticing others, identifying with them, and conveying a blessing through physical contact.
Jesus attends the Feast of Dedication in Jerusalem during winter. When questioned by Jews if he is the Messiah, Jesus responds that his miracles show he is from God, but they do not believe because they are not his sheep. Jesus says his sheep listen to his voice, he knows them, and they follow him. He gives them eternal life and nothing can snatch them from God. The Jews try to stone Jesus for blasphemy for claiming to be God. Jesus refers to scripture that calls others gods and says the Father set him apart, so they should not accuse him of blasphemy for saying he is God's Son.
The document describes scenes from heaven and events leading up to Jesus's second coming as described in Revelation 19-20. It summarizes Heaven rejoicing over God's judgment on evil and the marriage of Jesus to his bride, the Church.

The document describes the four occurrences of "Alleluia" in Revelation 19, which signify praise for God. It discusses the two feasts that take place: the glory feast in heaven and the wedding feast of the Lamb. It also covers the second coming of Jesus Christ and the great supper of God, where birds will consume the flesh of those who fight against God.
The document discusses the three angels' messages from Revelation 14 and identifies Babylon as a religious system that influences worldwide nations and peoples. Babylon is represented by three unclean spirits - the dragon, beast, and false prophet - that work miracles to deceive people and unite the world against God. Babylon will receive God's judgment and fall as prophesied. The document urges people to not be associated with any religious organization that rejects God's truths and persecutes his people.
XXIII The Return of Jesus Christ in RevelationLenny Hoy
This document provides commentary on chapters 19-20 of the book of Revelation, which describe the return of Jesus Christ. It begins by summarizing the events in chapter 19, including the celebration in heaven over God's judgment on Babylon and the marriage supper of the Lamb. It then analyzes some elements of the text, such as the brevity of the description of Christ's return compared to the extensive coverage of Babylon. The document suggests the Bible may focus on what believers need to know rather than providing lurid details. It also notes patterns in how the Bible depicts Christ's return as establishing important facts rather than vivid pictures.
I. Heaven rejoices over the fall of Babylon, with a great multitude in heaven praising God and declaring His judgments as true and righteous.
II. Heaven prepares for the marriage of the Lamb, as a great multitude praises God and the marriage of the Lamb and His bride has come.
III. Christ appears as a warrior king on a white horse to make war and rule the nations with an iron rod, followed by the armies of heaven.
The beast, false prophet, and their armies gather to make war against Christ but are defeated, with the beast and false prophet thrown into the lake of fire and the rest killed by Christ's sword.
The document discusses the three angels' messages from Revelation 14:6-12. It summarizes the key points of each message: the first warns of God's judgment and calls people to worship the Creator; the second announces that Babylon is fallen for misleading all nations; and the third warns of receiving the mark of the beast. It analyzes the symbols of Babylon, the dragon, beast and false prophet representing world powers throughout history that have opposed God and persecuted his people. Babylon is described as a harlot that misleads the world through false teachings, in contrast to God's ideal of the church remaining faithful to Christ.
In 2007 the congregation read through "The Message" New Testament by Eugene Peterson. This lesson is taken from the assigned reading from September 2-8-07
The document provides commentary on Revelation 18 from multiple scholars.

In this section of our study, Pastor Mitch walks the group through Revelation 15-16. We view and discuss the 7 plagues poured from the 7 vials by the 7 angels.
This document provides an overview and analysis of Revelation 19-20 from a Bible study on the Book of Revelation. It summarizes the key events in these chapters, including the celebration in heaven over God's judgment on Babylon, the marriage supper of the Lamb, the rider on the white horse defeating the beast and false prophet, and Satan being bound for 1000 years while the martyrs reign with Christ. The document uses the biblical text to draw connections between the imagery in Revelation and other passages about Jesus and his victory.
The document provides an overview and analysis of the biblical book of Habakkuk. It summarizes that Habakkuk was a prophet who struggled with understanding God's plan to use Babylon to punish Judah, highlights several key themes and verses from the book, and analyzes how Habakkuk comes to a new understanding and finds assurance through rejoicing in God despite coming challenges.
The document discusses Jesus Christ's second coming as described in the Bible. It provides several passages that describe Christ returning from heaven on a white horse to judge the living and the dead. All people will be resurrected or gathered before Him and He will separate the righteous from the unrighteous, condemning sinners to eternal punishment but bringing the righteous into eternal life. The devil and those who follow him will be thrown into the lake of fire while Christ and His followers will begin their eternal kingdom.
A continuation of the decoding of symbolic language to tell the story of the church’s persecution by Rome in the first century and her eventual victory.
The document discusses the biblical doctrine of judgment according to three stages:
1) The investigative judgment occurs in heaven before Christ's return to determine who will participate in the resurrection. God reviews each person's life from the record of their deeds.
2) After the plagues, Christ returns to raise the righteous dead and rapture believers, known as the first resurrection.
3) The wicked are destroyed by God's wrath at Christ's appearance, unable to withstand His glory, and experience eternal destruction separated from God.
The document summarizes the events of the seven bowl judgments from Revelation 15-16. It describes each of the seven bowls being poured out by angels, bringing plagues of sores, turning oceans and rivers to blood, scorching heat from the sun, darkness, drying up the Euphrates river to prepare for war, and a final earthquake, hailstorm, and destruction of cities. Throughout these final punishments, people continue to curse God and refuse to repent, showing the justice of God's judgments.

To truly calculate the cost, you must consider both the cost of action and the cost of inaction not only for the near term but in the long term. Jesus calls us to a decision. Choose wisely.
Jesus warns his disciples about hypocrisy among religious leaders and tells them not to fear those who can kill the body. He instructs them not to fear people as much as God, who has authority over both body and soul. Jesus promises to acknowledge before God those who acknowledge him before men, but those who deny him will be denied. The Holy Spirit will give disciples words to say when they are brought before leaders to defend their faith.
Jesus responds to those accusing him of casting out demons by Beelzebul by pointing out the logical flaws in their argument. He lays out that a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand, and that if Satan is divided and casting people out of himself, his kingdom would collapse. Jesus further explains that if his exorcisms are by the power of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon them. He tells the crowds that whoever is not with him is against him. Jesus rebukes the generation seeking signs, saying the only sign given will be the sign of Jonah. He emphasizes the importance of hearing and keeping God's word for true blessing.
Jesus teaches his disciples about prayer in response to their request. He gives them a model prayer focusing on hallowing God's name, desiring his kingdom to come, and acknowledging dependence on him for daily provision and forgiveness. Jesus encourages prayer by reminding them of God's generosity like a father who provides for his children, and says God will give the Holy Spirit to those who ask. He emphasizes making prayer a priority and having the right priorities in prayer, such as honoring God and trusting in his provision.
Martha welcomed Jesus into her home but became distracted serving Him, while her sister Mary sat at His feet listening to His teaching. Martha complained to Jesus that Mary wasn't helping her, but Jesus said Mary chose the better part by spending time with Him rather than being distracted by many tasks. The passage emphasizes the importance of sitting at Jesus' feet to listen to Him over being busy doing things for Him without truly focusing on Him.
The seventy-two disciples returned from their mission joyfully saying that even demons were subject to them in Jesus' name. Jesus tells them that he saw Satan fall from heaven and that they have been given authority over all the power of the enemy. He says to rejoice not that spirits are subject to them, but that their names are written in heaven. Jesus rejoices that God has revealed these things to the disciples and not the wise and understanding. All things have been handed over to Jesus by God and no one knows the Son except the Father. Jesus tells the disciples that many prophets and kings desired to see and hear what they have seen and heard.
Jesus EXTENDS His ministry through those who answer His CALL. WHENEVER and WHEREVER He leads we go, WHATEVER His assignment we are to undertake. The mission was not LIMITED to the Twelve but EXTENDED through others. Anybody who responds to His call, ENTERS His MISSION.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
2 Peter 3: Because some scriptures are hard to understand and some will force them to say things God never intended, Peter warns us to take care.

After this I heard what sounded like the roar of a
great multitude in heaven shouting: ‘Hallelujah!

her the blood of his servants.’

Then a voice came from the throne, saying:
“Praise our God, all you his servants, you who
fear him, both small and great!’ Then I heard
what sounded like a great multitude, like the

shouting: “Hallelujah! For our Lord God
Almighty reigns.

For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his
bride has made herself ready. Fine linen, bright
and clean, was given her to wear.’ (Fine linen

6. Revelation 19:9-10
Then the angel said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are
those who are invited to the wedding supper of
the Lamb!’” And he added, ‘These are the true
words of God.’ At this I fell at his feet to worship
him. But he said to me, ‘Do not do it! I am a
fellow servant with you and with your brothers
who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship
God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of
prophecy.’

7. Revelation 19:11-12
I saw heaven standing open and there before me
was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful
and True. With justice he judges and makes war.
His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are
many crowns. He has a name written on him
that no one knows but he himself.
www.networkchristian.org
8. Revelation 19:13-14
He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his
name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven
were following him, riding on white horses and
dressed in fine linen, white and clean.
www.networkchristian.org
9. Revelation 19:15-16
Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with
which to strike down the nations. ‘He will rule
them with an iron scepter.’ He treads the
winepress of the fury of the wrath of God
Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has
this name written: King of kings and Lord of
lords.
www.networkchristian.org
10. Revelation 19:17-18
And I saw an angel standing in the sun, who
cried in a loud voice to all the birds flying in
midair, ‘Come, gather together for the great
supper of God, so that you may eat the flesh of
kings, generals, and mighty men, of horses and
their riders, and the flesh of all people, free and
slave, small and great.’
www.networkchristian.org
11. Revelation 19:19-20
Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth
and their armies gathered together to make war
against the rider on the horse and his army. But
the beast was captured, and with him the false
prophet who had performed the miraculous
signs on his behalf. With these signs he had
deluded those who had received the mark of the
beast and worshiped his image. The two of
them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of
burning sulfur. www.networkchristian.org
12. Revelation 19:21
The rest of them were killed with the sword that
came out of the mouth of the rider on the horse,
and all the birds gorged themselves on their
flesh.

13. Revelation is God’s
PREVIEW that the
worldly system will go
under.
Yeah but… is normally our EXCUSE to not obey
God.
14. Revelation has in fact provided
the port call of two ships to
two DESTINATIONS.
The way of the world promises HOPE but leads
to ruin; the way of God knows TRIBULATION but
ends in hope and glory.
15. Hallelujah means PRAISE
Yahweh, or praise the Lord.
We praise the Lord for WHO
He is.
If our praise is limited to what He does for us, then
what we have is not love, but a COUNTERFEIT.
Praise the Lord for WHAT He has done.
Praise the Lord for what is yet to COME.
Revelation is not about an ENDING as much as a new
BEGINNING (R.C. Sproul).
16. Evil will be OVERTHROWN as
in the end, Christ, and those
with him, will be victorious.
