Episode 71 - Revelation Made Relevant 3.1
Life comes with many trials and difficulties, and you find that out the moment you take your first breath on this planet. Most times we may be able to lean on our friends and family to help us get by, but sometimes we’re on our own, or we feel that way. In the moment, we may decide to give up, thinking there’s no end in sight. We may even doubt our beliefs. So, what is the secret to persevering through hard times? The answer can be found in Psalm 11 verse 4, “The Lord is in His holy temple, The Lord’s throne is in heaven.” This is what John witnesses at the beginning of his vision. There John sees, in the words of Daniel, “one like the Son of Man” seated on a throne in the middle of the golden lampstands. This means the one who loves us and died for us has indeed overcome the world, and now reigns in heaven, assuring us of our own victory over this world no matter how difficult our life gets.

Episode 70 - Revelation made Relevant Part 2.2
One of the many things to consider when studying the book of Revelation is how Jesus and the Father are presented. John is giving us a glimpse into heaven, a peek behind the veil to encourage us and confirm what we believe regarding the nature of God the Father and God the Son, Jesus Christ. The churches John was writing to were dealing with various issues, and some were enduring persecution. His account of what he witnessed, the revealing of what is truly real, was a sober reminder and warning to those in folly, and a cup of cold water to those faithful souls, wearied and parched. Today, we should draw encouragement from John’s witness, that everything, the entire universe and all that it contains, is held together by Christ, who is the Alpha and the Omega.
