Mastering the New Testament – Page 4

Day 231

Abyss releases more trumpets Revelation 9 Key Verses: 1, 4, 7, 16, 20, How can a physical star fall from the sky and then be given a key? Obviously the image that John saw lacked adequate language for him to understand exactly what he saw and what it meant. We do know the starContinue reading “Day 231”

Day 230

Yoke of four trumpets Revelation 8 Key Verses: 1, 4, 5, 13 Silence and heaven usually don’t go hand in hand. This is a stark contrast to the worship that has been taking place as the scroll has been taken up by Jesus and unrolled. And it stands in contrast to the trumpets thatContinue reading “Day 230”

Day 229

Crowd coming from tribulation Revelation 7 Key Verses: 3, 4, 9, 14, 16, 17 This chapter starts with Jewish believers being sealed for protection from the coming wrath. For those who think Jewish people have no place in the future, it looks like they do. There are Jewish believers even today, but there willContinue reading “Day 229”

Day 228

Each seal is broken Revelation 6 Key Verses: 1, 4, 6, 8, 10, 14, 16 Trying to understand what John saw can be very difficult. He used his language and visual experiences to record what he saw. We use our language and visual experiences to interpret what we read. And these two datasets areContinue reading “Day 228”

Day 227

Holy Lamb is worshiped Revelation 5 Key Verses: 1, 3, 9, 12, 13 Double sealed scrolls were used in the ancient world to protect the most important documents. It was like an ancient firewall for the information contained in the scroll. So I want to paint a brief picture of how this was doneContinue reading “Day 227”

Day 226

Picture of God’s throne Revelation 4 Key Verses: 1, 8, 10, There is that door again! Doesn’t heaven have any security system? You can tell John is struggling with words to describe what he is seeing. God’s throne really is beyond human description. We run out of words long before its beauty, majesty andContinue reading “Day 226”

Day 225

Other three churches rebuked Revelation 3 Key Verses: 1, 3, 5, 7, 12, 15, 18, 20 Zombies are real. Maybe not the way the movies portray them, but when you claim to be spiritually alive in Christ, but you life shows no signs of life, you are a zombie. Often people start the walkContinue reading “Day 225”

Day 224

Rebuke of four churches Revelation 2 Key Verses: 2, 4, 9, 14, 20, 29 There is no hiding from God. He knows it all. Even the things we do “in secret”. Nothing is secret with Him. No “In Private” living allowed. And that is what Jesus says to each of these churches. Jesus noticesContinue reading “Day 224”

Day 223

Patmos vision of John Revelation 1 Key Verses: 3, 10, 14-15, 20 Have you had an angel talk to you? This kind of event is extremely rare. God does not tell us the future as a regular course of events. So when John was shown what he was shown, by an angel none theContinue reading “Day 223”
