APOCALIPSIS 10:1

Revelation is not only a forecast of the future. It spoke to the church in John's day. It speaks to the church in our day. Revelation has a meaning and a message for us every day. This study will explore Revelation 8-11.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ is a book about what will happen in the future; but perhaps more importantly, it’s a book about who controls the future. More than sixty years after Jesus rose from the dead, He appears once again to His disciple John to tell him about the things to come. John sees Jesus in a whole new way: He is now risen, glorified, and clearly in charge of the universe. Jesus is Lord of everyone, everywhere, forever. The question for you and me is whether we will trust Him with our lives, believing that He holds both the present and the future in His all-powerful and loving hands.

Exiled on the island of Patmos, John wrote the book of Revelation to seven churches in the Roman province of Asia. The book opens with encouragement and warnings for the seven churches and is followed by a series of end-times visions. Revelation’s powerful imagery assures believers of Jesus’ coming return, His triumph over all His enemies, and the establishment of His kingdom that will know no end.

“There will be no more delay… the mystery of God will be accomplished!” That enigmatic promise in Revelation 10 is delivered by a mighty angel. But what does it mean? In Part 4 of Revelation Explained, Kris Langham guides us through chapters 9-12, as the seven-year Tribulation reaches the halfway point. Join us as we follow the clues and unravel the mystery of God’s big plan.
