Studying the book of Revelation will challenge you.  It is not easy to comprehend. You must exercise and discipline your mind in the study of scripture.  In fact, a major key to unlocking the mysteries of the book of Revelation is to know and understand many of the other 65 books of the Bible.  We must look to scripture to help us interpret scripture and not the opinions of people. Dr. Betters continues in this message to critique and challenge the second major view of Christ’s second coming.  Open your Bibles and follow along closely as we listen carefully to what scripture tells us about Christ’s second coming.

The second coming of Jesus is foundational to the Christian faith.  You cannot call yourself a Christian without believing that Jesus is coming again for His people.  The Bible clearly teaches it. However, someone who holds a different eschatological view on the second coming of Christ does not mean they are not a Christian.  There are Christians who have differing opinions on the timeframe, events, and framework of the second coming. In this message, Dr. Betters will begin by examining two of the four major views.

The book of Revelation is an enigmatic book of the Bible for many people. It is filled with end-time prophecy cloaked in symbolism and allusions.  Many Christians find it hard to understand and avoid studying it altogether. It’s beauty, supreme importance, and distinctive relevance is sadly missed by many.  Come journey with Dr. Betters as he builds the context of this amazing book from the prophecies of the Old Testament along with the major themes of the Bible to unveil the mysteries and reveal the culmination of God’s redemptive plan.  You just may be tempted to think of Revelation as a book of new beginnings as much as one of end times.
