    Revelation 12 | The Woman, The Dragon, and The Child

    A radiant woman cries out in labor. A great red dragon coils to devour her child. Then, in a single sweeping line, the child is caught up to the throne, and the accuser is hurled down. Revelation 12 compresses the story of salvation and the shape of our struggle into vivid symbols that still read like headlines for every age. We walk through the woman, the dragon, and the male child with careful attention to Scripture’s echoes—from Joseph’s dream to the Exodus to the cross—and trace how these images ground our hope and recalibrate our expectations. We dig into the details that matter: why the woman most clearly represents Israel and, by extension, God’s people; what the seven heads, ten horns, and diadems signal about counterfeit power; and how the stephanos crown points to promised victory for those who overcome. We explore the fall of a third of the stars as angelic rebellion, the war in heaven led by Michael, and the thunderous verdict that silences the accuser. Most importantly, we center the gospel: believers conquer by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, not by moral polish or cultural dominance. The wilderness scene becomes a field guide for discipleship—1,260 days of tested endurance, eagle’s wings of providence, and floods of deception that God neutralizes. Expect opposition; discern propaganda; hold fast to obedience and witness. The dragon is furious and his time is short, but the Lamb has already won. Join us as we read Revelation 12 not as code to crack, but as courage to carry: stand firm, stay clear-eyed, and live like people whose verdict is already “no condemnation.” If this encouraged you, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review to help others find the show.

    Revelation 11 | The Two Witnesses

    We trace Revelation 11 from the measuring of the temple to the seventh trumpet, weighing literal and symbolic readings of the temple, timeframes, and the identity of the two witnesses. The story moves from sackcloth and scorn to resurrection and reign, asking where our allegiance rests. • symbolic versus literal readings of the temple • meaning of measuring and the unmeasured outer court • forty-two months, 1,260 days, and time, times, and half a time • identities proposed for the two witnesses • olive trees and lampstands as church imagery • the beast’s war, public scorn, and refused burial • resurrection, ascent, earthquake, and fear • seventh trumpet, kingdom transfer, and eternal reign • judgment of nations, reward for servants, small and great • opened heavenly temple and unveiled ark Intro music - Toby Mac Outro music - Zach Williams Support the show

    Revelation 10 | The Angel & The Little Scroll

    We walk through Revelation 10: the mighty angel, the little scroll, the seven thunders sealed, and the oath that there will be no more delay. We weigh whether the angel is Christ, why some revelation is withheld, and why God’s word tastes sweet and bitter at once. • administrative update and how to contact us • recap of trumpets five and six and their symbolism • the mighty angel’s imagery and global authority • the little scroll debate and prophetic purpose • seven thunders sealed and reasons for restraint • is the angel Christ or a representative messenger • oath of no more delay and the fulfilled mystery • eating the scroll, sweetness and bitterness of truth • global scope of the prophecy and faithful witness • prayer, endurance, and sharing the word despite opposition Pray for the podcast, that it might reach people who need to hear the truth of the gospel, and that God would then work in their lives to bring them to a saving faith in Christ.

    Revelation 9 | Demonic Locusts & the Angel of the Abyss

    The trumpets of judgment continue to sound in Revelation 9, unveiling horrors that challenge our modern sensibilities and spiritual complacency. As the fifth angel's trumpet pierces the apocalyptic air, we witness the unlocking of the bottomless pit—the abyss where evil entities are imprisoned—releasing demonic locusts that torment humanity for five excruciating months. These aren't ordinary locusts. With human faces, women's hair, lion's teeth, and scorpion stings, they embody something far more sinister than anything in nature. Under the command of their king—Apollyon, the Destroyer—they inflict such agonizing torment that people desperately seek death but cannot find it. Yet remarkably, those bearing God's seal remain untouched, protected in the midst of chaos. When the sixth trumpet sounds, the spiritual warfare intensifies. Four angels bound at the Euphrates River unleash a demonic cavalry 200 million strong that kills one-third of humanity. The scale of this judgment is unprecedented since the Great Flood, yet the survivors stubbornly refuse to repent, clinging to their idols that "cannot see or hear or walk." This chapter forces us to confront uncomfortable questions about what we truly worship. Do we prioritize career, materialism, politics, or social media above our relationship with God? As the ancient wisdom states, "The soul becomes dyed with the color of its thoughts"—we inevitably become like the gods we worship. God's judgment reveals both His justice and mercy. Even amidst the devastation, two-thirds of humanity is spared, given another opportunity for repentance. The message resonates beyond ancient apocalyptic literature into our daily lives: where do our affections truly lie? What occupies our time and attention? When we honestly examine our priorities, we often discover that "God's just not on the daily schedule." Take this moment to consider what holds the throne of your heart. Does Christ have the rightful place He deserves, or have lesser gods quietly usurped His position? The time for genuine repentance—a complete reorientation of heart, mind, and behavior—is now, before the final trumpet sounds. Intro music - Toby Mac Outro music - Consumed By Fire Support the show

    Revelation 8 | The Seventh Seal

    Dive into Revelation Chapter 8, where the Lamb opens the seventh seal, ushering in a profound silence in heaven and the beginning of the seven trumpet judgments. Join me as I explore the eerie calm before the storm of God’s divine judgment, drawing parallels to the plagues of Egypt and the undoing of creation itself. From hail and fire mixed with blood scorching a third of the earth to a blazing mountain turning the seas to blood, and the bitter star Wormwood poisoning the waters, these vivid images paint a sobering picture of devastation. We’ll unpack the symbolism of the seven archangels, the golden censer, and the prayers of the saints rising like incense, while reflecting on what this silence and these judgments mean for humanity today. As an eagle cries, “Woe, woe, woe,” signaling worse to come, this episode challenges listeners to confront the reality of sin and turn to the hope and salvation found in Jesus Christ. Don’t miss this powerful study of Revelation’s call to repentance and faith! Intro music - Toby Mac Outro music - Toby Mac/ Zach Williams Support the show
