    Revelation: The Wrath of God (The Bible in Its Context - Part 49)

    Revelation: Seals, Trumpets, and Bowls (The Bible in Its Context - Part 47)

    The seals, trumpets, and bowls form the major framework of the book of Revelation. As wild as their content may may appear on first reading, each of them have deep biblical roots and cultural foundations which help us understand John's apocalyptic narrative. Join us for this exciting review of these iconic symbols in their context.

    Revelation: Apocalyptic Imagery (The Bible in Its Context - Part 46)

    In this exciting episode, we examine the purpose and message behind apocalyptic imagery. If the Bible was a bookstore, Revelation would be found in the fantasy section. Seeing it as such is not seeing it as unreal or untrue but seeing it as it was intended to function for its original hearers and, subsequently, for us. Buckle up for a mind-stretching ride into the heart of our Savior and the end of history as we know it.

    Revelation: Patterns and Promises (The Bible in Its Context - Part 45)

    Revelation, though apocalyptic, still holds to whole-book context. In that this "book" of the Bible is a letter to the churches, it should not surprise us to find interpretive clues to the imagery at its end within the beginning messages to the seven churches. Join us as we incline our hearts to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches and the tremendous promises our Lord gives to those who conquer.

    Revelation: A Study in Seven (The Bible in Its Context - Part 44)

    From the beginning - in its address, greeting, and initial vision - seven features prominently in the book of Revelation. Why seven? What is its significance in the context of the one who wrote the vision and those who received it? Join us as we step back through millennia to see numbers as the ancient near east did and the various ways they were used to communicate.

    Revelation: An Overview (The Bible in Its Context - Part 43)

    In this episode, we examine the symbolic visionary nature of apocalyptic literature and how Revelation served to encourage and strengthen the saints facing persecution that was only going to intensify. When read in its context, Revelation can serve us in the same way, empowering us to remain faithful in the face of opposition and staying true to the Lord who loves us and freed us from our sins.

    Revelation: An Introduction (The Bible in Its Context - Part 42)

    Revelation, an apocalyptic prophecy written as a letter, presents particular challenges to the modern reader. Unfortunately, the proliferation of end-times speculative writing have only heightened our challenges in understanding this text as the original recipients would have heard it. Join us as we humbly begin our journey into the most unique text of the New Testament canon and endeavor to hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches.
