Send us a text In this live classroom episode, we dive yet deeper into the heart of the dark deception of the second beast of Revelation 13:11-15. We take a close look at emerging AI systems and begin to ponder the question: "is AI a platform for the antichrist?" Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship th...

Send us a text In this live classroom presentation, we discuss the power of deception, self-deception and the decptive power of the beast system as symbolized by beast #2 as stated in Revelation 13:11-15 Revelation 13:11 Then I saw another beast rising out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb and it spoke like a dragon. 12 It exercises all the authority of the first beast in its presence, and makes the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose mortal wound was healed. 13 ...

Send us a text In this live session, we review the all-important idea of the two great beasts of Revelation, chapter 13. Revelation 13:1-10. 13 And I saw a beast rising out of the sea, with ten horns and seven heads, with ten diadems on its horns and blasphemous names on its heads. 2 And the beast that I saw was like a leopard; its feet were like a bear’s, and its mouth was like a lion’s mouth. And to it the dragon gave his power and his throne and great authority. 3 One of...

Send us a text In this episode, we marvel at the scene of the crystal sea that occupies John's great vision here in Revelation 15. The symbolism is very rich and encouraging. REVELATION 15:2 And I saw what appeared to be a sea of glass mingled with fire—3 And they sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and amazing are your deeds, O Lord God the Almighty! Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations! 4 Who will not fear, O Lord, and glo...

Send us a text IN THIS EPISODE, WE BEGIN TO CONSIDER Revelation chapter 15-16 which is the narrative of the Seven Bowls of Wrath. We notice the striking use of a narrative device that John employs, known as "Interlocking" his narratives. In this episode, we draw out the amazing significance of this narrative device. REVELATION 15:1 Then I saw another sign in heaven, great and amazing, seven angels with seven plagues, which are the last, for with them the wrath of God is finished....

Send us a text IN this episode, we consider the very sobering scene of the last day of earth's history, presented in the dual metaphor of harvest and vintage. This final moment of history brings us to the end of yet another of John's unfolding cycles of visions while on the isle of Patmos. Revelation 14:14 Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 And another angel came ou...

Send us a text In this episode, we consider more of Revelation chapter 14:6-13 "Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. 7 And he said with a loud voice, “Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.” 8 Another angel, a second, followed, saying, “Fallen, fallen ...

Send us a text In this episode, we consider more of Revelation chapter 14 "Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads" Why is that the Book of Revelation has two accounts of the 144,000, and how are they different? The comparison between the 144,000 of Revelation 7, and the 144,000 of Revelation 14 is the theme for this episode. If you wish to contact me with any comments, questions, sug...

Send us a text In this episode, we transition to chapter 14 of the book of Revelation. We begin our episode where the text does: "Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father’s name written on their foreheads" The obvious first consideration is, "What is Mt. Zion?" The subject of "Zionism" is extremely controversial in our culture today, so we tackle the biblical approach to the subject. If you wish to ...

Send us a text AI will quickly become a substitute for God on a very practical level in the culture of our day. But can there be any replacement for God at any level of the Christian life? One example is in the realm of communication with the Divine, otherwise known as prayer. God takes His time and answers in His way, while AI offers immediate answers (along with "emotion support" "relational interaction", etc). So many, especially youth will be tempted to trade off one f...

Send us a text In this brief "one-off" (away from our Revelation series) we examine the question: "Was the thief on the cross actually saved?" Jesus promises him a home in Paradise, so we certainly assume that he is a redeemed man. But can it really be as easy as all this? Is this not "easy-believism"? We address this perplexity in this episode. If you wish to contact me with any comments, questions, suggestions, etc please feel free to write to my email: jmrgrs9@gmail.com

Send us a text In the midst of dealing with the monsters of Revelation 13, there is also another monster who may abide yet closer and who haunts us by his constant, dark presence - that's the MONSTER OF SHAME- personal, whithering shame in our lives, as a result of previous, sinful behavior. Is shame to be eradicated from our lives altogether? Or is it possible that there is a beneficial, even productive result that can arise from the monster of shame? In other words,...
