John describes the bottomless pit in great detail.

Horses rushing to battle, scorpion tails that sting, and mankind being hurt for five months.

He talks about the Army from the East, two hundred million with breast plates the color of fire and of hyacinth and brimstone.

Those who were not killed by the plagues would not repent of their sins.

John tells of Six Seals being opened:

The Rider on the White, War, Famine, Death, Martyrs, and Terror.

The 144,000, Twelve thousand from every tribe of the sons of Israel:

There will be multitudes from every nation and tribe praising The Lord. They will be before the throne of God, serving Him day and night.

These are the ones who came out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes made them white in the blood of The Lamb.

God will wipe every tear from their eyes.

Theme song by I-Movie, Narration

There is a scene in Heaven that opens this chapter.

The sound of a trumpet is heard and a voice tells John to "Come up here."

There was a rainbow around the throne, like an emerald. There 24 thrones and 24 elders sitting.

Worshiping the Creator. The elders will worship Him who lives forever and ever, and will cast their crowns before the throne.

Because He is worthy to receive glory and honor and power.

Theme music by IMovie, Narrative

The writer starts off with a letter to Sardis, telling them that their deeds are not complete.

The Sardis Church is told to remember what they have received and heard, to keep it and to repent.

They are told to wake up.

The message to Philadelphia has been kept from the hour of testing, because they have kept His word.

The message to Laodicea  was told that they were neither cold nor hot.

They have no idea that they are wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked. They too are told to repent.

He who has an ear, let him repent.

Themes music also by Scott Holmes, (Together We Stand)

The book of Revelation reminds us of our reward and as it also reminds us where we need to repent.

We cover the first four churches in this episode:

Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum and Thyatira.

Even though we hate evil, we must not forget our first love and how we were so happy and joyful when we first became a believer.

We will be tested, but hold on until the end, it is but for a little while. We will be given the crown of life.

Stay away from idolatry and immoral acts.

We are warned, even though we do good deeds and they are greater than at first, we must not tolerate false teachings.

We are to hold fast to our believe until the end.

Theme song (Together We Stand)

John is on the island of Patmos and sees a vision from the Lord.

Johns writes that blessed is the one who reads and hears the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it, for the time is near.

He is told to write down what he sees and send it to the seven churches: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia and Laodicea.

He sees lamp stands that are representations of the seven churches.

Intro and outro (Corporate Uplifting)

Theme song (Together We Stand)

Paul is so inspired by Philemon's faith and love. He appeals to him to accept a former slave back and forgive an debt owned by the slave Onesimus.

He appeals to Philemon's genuine love of Christ to let this brother in the Lord be useful to him now, whereas he wasn't before.

He doesn't demand this, but ask Philemon to consider, with mercy, how he was in debt to Paul, for his belief in Christ as well.

Paul says, he believes Philemon will do more than asked.

Theme music by P C lll, Music for a Weary World Vol 1, The Rest Album

James reminds us that as small as our tongue is, it can do so much danger, if we don't think before we speak.

Reminding us that good and bad shouldn't come from it.

Wisdom comes from above and we aren't to look to the world for instructions. God's wisdom is pure.

Furthermore, there are things we should avoid. Lusting for things and being envious about what we cannot obtain.

If we draw near to God, we will be exalted by Him.

Our lives are but a vapor, so let's remember to always say, if the Lord will, I will do this or that.

Music by Scott Holmes, intro and outro, (Corporate Uplifting)

Theme music by Borrtex, (You Are Not Alone)

James tells us to count it all joy when we are being tested because it will produce endurance within us.

We are to ask God for wisdom because He gives it to us generously and without reproach.

We must believe it though.

We will receive the crown of life if we persevere.

James tells us that every good thing comes from above.

James puts emphasis on works alone side our faith, because faith with works is dead.

Abraham was justified by works by offering up his son, Isaac.

Theme song by Scott Holmes (Together We Stand)

The writer of Hebrews reminds us that Jesus is the example, nothing or no one else.

That Jesus endured the hostility, so we should not grow weary.

He will discipline us because He loves us and wants to give us eternal life.

Therefore we must respect Him and obey His word.

We are to help those who are weak among us and live a sanctified life.

The writer reminds us that Christ does not change.

We aren't to fornicate or live an adulterous life. We aren't to be lovers of money and be content with the things we have need of.

He will never desert or forsake us.

Finally, don't listen to strange teachings
