    S9E9 Revelation 19

    In this message from Revelation 19, the pastor John Jenkins explains why this chapter is the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan and a promise to followers of Jesus. He starts with 2 Peter 3:9 and God's patience. He then reads Revelation 19:1–10, covering what John hears: the praise in heaven and the wedding feast of the Lamb.Along the way, he connects Revelation 19 to Psalm 23 and John 14. He walks through the three phases of a Jewish wedding (arrangement, betrothal and celebration) as a picture of Christ and His church. He also talks about humility versus pride, using Peter as an example, and about preparing as the bride of Christ using Ephesians 5. He closes with a personal story about reading Psalm 23 and John 14 to his mother, and with a call to read God's promises and stand with courage when Jesus returns (1 John 2:28).Next week's message continues with what John sees, the return of Jesus on a white horse.

    S9E8 Revelation 18

    Babylon is not just a place on a map. It is a spiritual system of deception, greed, and rebellion hiding in plain sight—and this episode shows why that matters for you, your family, and the church right now. Much of what people think they know about Revelation is upside down. Instead of treating it like a timeline puzzle or a chart of future events, the episode reframes Revelation as a call to see the unseen—the spiritual battle underneath politics, religion, culture, and daily life. You’ll discover: Why Babylon in Revelation 17 and 18 is presented as a spirit, not just a city How Daniel 10 pulls back the curtain on the “prince” behind earthly kingdoms Why faith requires seeing beyond what is visible What “come out of her, my people” means for believers living in the world How greed, lust, and consumer Christianity quietly shape the church The episode also confronts the ways Satan targets the next generation, from the rise of cell phones in the hands of ten-year-olds to the collapse of innocence and the spiritual cost of cultural compromise. It is a sobering reminder that the battle is not mainly against flesh and blood, but against a real enemy who prepares for war by deceiving hearts, distorting worship, and training people to love the world. If you have ever wondered how to understand Revelation without getting lost in charts and speculation, this teaching offers a bracing, biblical reset. It challenges comfortable assumptions, calls believers to holiness and generosity, and makes the case that the church must stop blending in and start shining. Essential listening if you want a clearer view of the spiritual battle behind the headlines—and a stronger reason to pray, stand firm, and stay faithful until Christ returns. 00:00 Revelation 17–18: a message for the world we live in now01:58 Revelation taught from an earthly perspective03:01 Satan's use of religion and false teaching04:38 Faith and the unseen06:10 Seeing the spiritual world (Elisha and his servant)07:12 Discerning the times08:55 Satan amassing an army, and angels as warriors10:31 How much evil has increased in the last ten years12:02 The statistics on kids, phones, and baptisms13:37 Babylon as a spirit of deception, not a place14:13 Daniel and the physical Babylon16:19 Darius and Persia17:21 Daniel 10: the spiritual battle behind the kingdoms19:43 Reading Revelation 1820:45 "Come away from her, my people"22:23 Colossians 3: putting to death greed and idolatry25:31 2 Corinthians 6: come out and be separate26:33 In the world, not of the world28:11 The call to live as light and fight for the next generation

    s9E1 Revelation 15

    Revelation is not mainly about the end of the world - it is about Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, and the way God saves. Pastor John pulls back the curtain on Revelation 15 and shows why the book's hardest chapters actually point to the same unchanging God you meet in Exodus, Genesis, and the cross. If you've ever heard Revelation treated like a puzzle about timelines, dispensations, and escape plans, this teaching challenges you to think biblically first. Pastor John traces the storyline from the burning bush to the Red Sea to the Lamb on the throne, connecting the song of Moses in Exodus 15 with the song of the Lamb in Revelation 15. Along the way, he explains why God's character never changes, why that matters for how you read prophecy, and why Revelation is ultimately a revelation of Jesus, not a spectacle of catastrophe. You'll discover: Why Revelation 15 marks the completion of God's redemptive call How the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb mirror each other Why the Exodus plagues and the bowl judgments are meant to be read together How the Bible itself shapes the debate over the church, tribulation, and Christ's return Why Joseph says followers of Jesus will not taste God's wrath This episode also confronts common assumptions about Revelation 4-19, the rapture, and the millennial reign, while keeping the spotlight on the bigger picture - God is consistent, Christ is coming again, and the only safe place is under the blood of the Lamb. Essential listening if you want a Christ-centered, Bible-first reading of Revelation that replaces fear and speculation with confidence, hope, and urgency. If you've been confused by end-times teaching, this message will challenge you, steady you, and point you back to Jesus.
