In this message from Joel 2:10-18, Pastor Raul Granillo shares about how our persepctive of God affect how we respond to him. Many, both in the world and in the church, view God as a "judgmental bully" and misunderstand what it means for him to be jealous.

In this 47th, and final lesson, we will review the entire book of Revelation.

G. K. Chesterton once quipped that “though St. John the Evangelist saw many strange monsters in his vision, he saw no creature so wild as one of his own commentators.”

My prayer has been that this study would clarify some of the obvious misrepresentations of John's vision as well as to equip you with hermeneutical tools to help you better read, interpret, and apply the Word of God.

Perhaps most importantly, we will discuss that Jesus' final statement describing himself is as “The bright morning star” points to the hope for the breaking of dawn during the darkest moment of night.

In our next, and final lesson, we will overview the entire study.
