Genesis 18 – 1:15 . 

Genesis 19 – 7:42 . 

Genesis 20 – 14:43 . 

Genesis 21 – 18:58 . 

Psalm 6 – 24:14 . 

Psalm 7 – 25:35 . 

In today’s episode, the Lord visits Abraham by sending three messengers to his home. He reveals that in a year’s time he will give Abraham a son through his wife, Sarah. He also reveals that he is sending his messengers to Sodom and Gomorrah, because the wickedness of the people has grown so severe that it calls for complete annihilation. Before they are sent out, Abraham pleads with the Lord to spare the righteous and the Lord finally agrees that if even ten righteous people are found there, he will not destroy it. The angels rescue Lot, but as we will soon see, sin continues to flourish. Later, a son is born to Abraham and is named, “Isaac,” which means, “He laughs.”

Genesis 14 – 1:17 . 

Genesis 15 – 5:34 . 

Genesis 16 – 9:09 . 

Genesis 17 – 13:20 . 

Psalm 5 – 18:50 . 

Today we get to see the Lord’s faithfulness to a sinful man who doubts, who wavers, who makes poor decisions, but who ultimately responds to the Lord’s instruction. It would be hard to argue that the Lord chose Abram because of his upstanding moral qualities, however, as his flaws aren’t covered up or diminished. Instead, in God’s own kindness, He makes promises to Abram, promises that will last from one generation to the next, on and on through the ages. The Lord makes these promises, not because Abram deserves it or because His holy hands would be tied without Abram’s cooperate; instead, through his work in Abram’s life God will show the world his steadfast love and sovereign provision.

Genesis 10 – 1:11 . 

Genesis 11 – 4:42 . 

Genesis 12 – 9:35 . 

Genesis 13 – 13:03 . 

Psalm 3 – 16:11 . 

Psalm 4 – 17:20 . 

After we wade through genealogies of Noah’s sons, we encounter the tower of Babel, a monument to man’s rebellion against God. Being made in the image of God, these men imitate their creator by creating, which is all well and good, except that they defy God’s command to fill the earth and attempt to rob God of glory by making a name for themselves. God graciously uses language to scatter them so they can see the expansive majesty of His Creation rather than stare at the cute little tower they’ve made. In time, Abram is born, and God makes great promises as He calls Abram to follow His commands.

Genesis 6 - 4:56 . 

Genesis 7 - 9:35 . 

Genesis 8 - 13:42 . 

Genesis 9 - 17:24 . 

Psalm 2 - 22:07 . 

Noah is often portrayed as a cartoonish old man surrounded by cute animals all smiling happily from their little boat; but the reality of the flood was far more grueling than the nursery murals suggest. Imagine what it would be like to survive an apocalyptic flood where almost everyone you know is destroyed and you’re stuck in a crowded, floating menagerie. Noah is rightly credited as brave and faithful to the Lord, but the Bible doesn’t allow us to think that the flood has solved the problem of sin. Even faithful Noah, who diligently constructed a massive vessel and survived destruction, was imperfect and flawed.

Genesis 1 - 1:12 . 

Genesis 2 - 7:13 . 

Genesis 3 - 12:10 . 

Genesis 4 - 18:11 . 

Psalm 1 - 23:20 . 

So much could said about these first four chapters as Genesis 1-4 lays a foundation for the rest of Scripture. We learn about a God who creates all things out of His own volition in a way that is well-ordered and executed simply by proclamation. Special attention is given to the creation of mankind in God’s own image and God’s generous provision for man both before and after sin. Here, too, we see man’s relationship with God fall from one of peace, unity, and harmony into one of disorder and division as man rejects God’s good design and sins against His Maker.

Revelation 19 - 1:11 . 

Revelation 20 - 5:50 . 

Revelation 21 - 10:22 . 

Revelation 22 - 15:!5 . 

Psalm 150 - 19:49 . 

On today’s episode, there is celebration in heaven over the just destruction of Babylon, the great prostitute. By contrast, the marriage supper of the Lamb is announced, and His bride is dressed in fine linen, representing the righteous acts of the saints. The beast, the kings of the earth and their armies, and the false prophet are all thrown into the lake that burns with sulfur. Satan is bound in the abyss for a thousand years, then released in order to deceive the nations and gather them for battle against the saints, but they, too, are handily defeated. After the great white throne judgment, John sees the New Jerusalem, a city of glorious prosperity and security, illumined by the glory of God.

Revelation 16 - 1:!2 . 

Revelation 17 - 5:14 . 

Revelation 18 - 10:26 . 

Isaiah 66 - 16:57 . 

As God’s wrath is poured out in seven phases, you’ll be reminded of the plagues poured out on Egypt when pharaoh refused to let God’s people leave and go to the Promised Land. Water turns to blood, the people are stricken with sores, demonic spirits appear like frogs, enormous hail stones fall, all under the direction of God Almighty and his angels. Following the seventh bowl of God’s wrath, we’ll read a post-script that section that tells us more about the great city named “Babylon,” her relationship with the beast, and the nature of her sins against God.

Revelation 11 - 1:08 . 

Revelation 12 - 5:20 . 

Revelation 13 - 9:05 . 

Revelation 14 - 14:10 . 

Revelation 15 - 19:01 . 

Isaiah 65 - 21:09 . 

Revelation is full of imagery and symbolism that continues to spark discussion and debate among believers, but the overall impression that we should get from these prophecies is that the end is under God’s full control; in his sovereignty and power He will execute his just wrath upon those who oppose Him, and those who trust Him are secured eternally, though not without temporary hardship. The beast will oppose God’s witnesses and deceive many. The dragon, Satan, will fight for glory and wage war against God’s people. Even so, neither the beast, nor the dragon, nor their followers will escape God’s justice and wrath. God’s faithful ones will be avenged and delivered.

Revelation 6 - 1:14 . 

Revelation 7 - 5:18 . 

Revelation 8 - 10:07 . 

Revelation 9 - 13:09 . 

Revelation 10 - 17:23 . 

Isaiah 64 - 20:02 . 

In our last episode, Jesus appeared to the apostle John with instructions for seven churches. After this, John sees God seated on His throne, attended by four living creatures and 24 elders in white robes. One like a slaughtered lamb appears in the midst of the throne to open a scroll that has seven seals. In today’s episode, the lamb begins to open those seals. The first four seals release riders on horses, each with a different supernatural task. The fifth seal prompts the souls of those slain for their faithfulness to cry for justice. The sixth seal induces chaotic natural catastrophes and reveals those coming out of the great tribulation. Finally, the seventh seal prompts seven angels with trumpets.

Revelation 1 - 1:08 . 

Revelation 2 - 5:28 . 

Revelation 3 - 12:50 . 

Revelation 4 - 17:55 . 

Revelation 5 - 20:37 . 

Isaiah 63 - 24:00 . 

Sometimes when you’re studying the Bible you can get so deep into study that you miss the forest for the trees. Such is often the case with the book of Revelation, as we try to peer deeply into symbolism and the order of events to decipher what the end of days will look like. One big takeaway that we ought not miss is this: Jesus is absolutely glorious and eternally victorious. Take notice of the sheer amount of text used to describe the glory that John sees and the ways that those in heaven acknowledge King Jesus. Be encouraged by this simple, yet profound truth: Christ reigns with authority and power over the heavens and over all creation.
