Who Can Stand? The Church!, Part 2 (Revelation 7:9-17) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on May 21, 2023

A no-rapture, academically rigorous reading of Revelation. Life is hard now. It will be harder later, and Revelation prepares us to accept that, and to be faithful in tough times.

Last week, we worked our way through the first vision of Revelation 7, which describes the sealing of the 144,000, from the 12 tribes of Israel. I argued that this was a vision of the church. Israel, is the church. The church, is Israel. I gave a few arguments in support of this, but I left out ...read more

Why Satan Hates A Good-Looking Woman (Revelation 12:1-17) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Jun 30, 2023

Satan is a four-time loser, and he takes out his frustration on the church. The church lives in the wilderness, like Hagar, until Jesus returns.

Today, we have the privilege of working through Revelation 12. This chapter is going to have a different feel, than much of what we've read so far. We've gotten used to working with symbols, and images, and not taking things literally. And that hasn't changed. But what's ...read more

Nevertheless, I Have Somewhat Against Thee (Church Of Ephesus) Revelation #1

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Jul 15, 2025

If you had been living at the time of the writing about the seven churches of Revelation, and you wanted to live in the most exciting city in the world, you probably would have selected Ephesus.

Two hundred thirty cities dotted the coastline of Asia Minor, and many of them were great cities, but Ephesus was the queen of them all. Paul went to Ephesus on his third missionary journey. He stayed there two years. He had two things to say about those two years. Look at I Cor. 16:9, ...read more

Satan's Minion: Beast #2 (Revelation 13:11-18) Series

Contributed by Garrett Tyson on Aug 24, 2023

Beast #2 is designed to persuade people to be patriotic. 1st century, through the imperial cult. Today? Perhaps through mainstream media, and school systems. A no-rapture reading of Revelation.

It's quite possible this morning that I may offend some of you this morning. I'm a little nervous, to be honest. So I just want to say, up front, that I don't take any particular delight in anything I'm saying today. All I'm trying to do, is be faithful to the message of ...read more

The Church Of Philadelphia: Words Of Praise To A Faithful Assembly (Revelation 3:7-13)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jan 13, 2024

The sixth church that Jesus addressed received no words of rebuke or chastisement. It was faithful to the Gospel, open to opportunities, and be delivered from its enemies and the coming hour of trial upon the world.

The seven churches of Revelation 2-3 were literal, authentic, verifiable places of worship in the region of Asia Minor within the boundaries of the Roman Empire. These churches are not the product of allegory, nor are they tales of mystics and sages of ancient days. There is nothing written in ...read more

Unlocking The Seals

Contributed by Norman Bernad on Aug 20, 2024

I want to start with a question. Why study the book of Revelation? There is a lot of buzz around that says that Revelation is too hard to understand, it’s a prophetic book, there are too many symbols and no one really understands the book of Revelation.
