Today’s episode will focus largely on the 4 living creatures around the throne of God. John sees the 4 living creatures flying around the throne who are singing Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come. They have 6 wings and eyes all around even under their wings. Each one has a different face. One has the face of a lion, another has the face of an ox/ calf, another has the face of a man, and another has the face of an eagle. These 4 beings are a special order of angels, and there is much to be said about them. All of it of course serves to show the glory of God and the masterpiece that is His plan.

Today we will take a look at the first part of chapter 4 verses 1-6. John gets a glimpse of Heaven and the most detailed description in all of scripture of the throne room of God. No one has ever seen face of God, so John is given imagery that he can comprehend. We will discuss the significance or meaning of the description of God, the 24 elders, the 100% presence of the Holy Spirit, and how this first part of Chapter 4 indicates that the church is in Heaven during this time. With that said…let’s jump into Revelation chapter 4 and see what comes next!

Today we're going to take a look at chapter 9 in the book of Daniel, and pay special attention to the 70 weeks that Daniel refers to regarding Israel’s punishment. Daniel reads the prophecy in the book of Jeremiah regarding the 70 year period that the Jews would be put out of their land so that it could rest, but at the end of that 70 year period they would be allowed back into their land to rebuild. Daniel connects that to the scripture regarding the land covenant and to the statue in Nebuchadnezzar’s dream regarding the Age of the Gentiles and concludes that the 70 year period of captivity by the Babylonians is the entire Gentile Age. God decides to send the angel Gabriel to help Daniel out with his timeline, and he gives Daniel more insight into the actual timeline for the Age of the Gentiles. The 70 weeks is actually 490 years because each week represents a 7 year period of time, and there are 70 seven year periods of time. That is what we are going to discuss today.

Based on our study of the first 3 chapters in Revelation we already know the we are in the Church Age, and that we are in the last period of the church age. However, we are also in the Age of the Gentiles. These 2 ages are currently running simultaneously, but he Age of the Gentiles started way back with Nebuchadnezzar and the Babylonian Empire during the time of Daniel. The Church Age began with the Apostles after the resurrection of Jesus. For us to truly understand the times we are in, how they come to an end, and how we transition into the “Things that take place next” (covered in Revelation starting with chapter 4)…we must visit Daniel chapters 2, 7, & 9. With that said let’s jump to the Book of Daniel and unfold the details pertaining to the Age of the Gentiles.

Today we are going to take one final look at the 7 churches and the letters written to them. These letters may have been written to 7 individual churches at the time, but they were circulated among all the churches for teaching and edification. To this day, the lessons learned from these 7 churches still have merit, and are still relevant. Join me as we take a look at all the churches and what they teach us about the Church Age.

Today we will take a look at the seventh and final letter that John writes to the church of Laodicea. The meaning of Laodicea can have a few variations, but ultimately it comes from 2 greek words…one meaning people and the other meaning just, or justice. It is a term used primarily in relation to legal jargon like a lawsuit. So, you could say that Laodicea means a people of justice or fairness. This city was prosperous and strong economically, and so was the church. They needed no help from any outside sources. They were self sufficient and self-reliant. They wanted for nothing. So why are they the only church of the 7 that gets no praise from Jesus? All they get is one big rebuke. Let’s find out what went wrong in this church that seemed to have everything.

Today we dive into the 6th letter that John writes to the 7 churches, and it is written to the Church of Philadelphia. We know that the name of this city is no secret or mystery. I means brotherly love, and was founded by King Eumenes II of Pergamon in 189 B.C. It was named Philadelphia because of his love for his brother and successor Attalus II. Today the city is known as Alasehir and is located in Turkey. This was a difficult place to live during the ancient times because of the repeated earthquakes that devastated the city. For those that stuck around it helped develop a sense of determination and perseverance that become important to living there. The Church of Philadelphia was persecuted greatly like Smyrna, but they remained true to the mission of the Church and like Smyrna they receive no rebuke. Let’s see what we can learn from the letter written to this small but mighty church.

Today we jump into the 5th letter that John is told to write, and it is written to the Church of Sardis. The meaning of this name is difficult to confirm, but some scholars believe it is translated as “Those Escaping” or “Remnant”.  Which will make sense when we talk about its correlation to church history. This city was a strong fortified city at one point but is in ruins today. It lies approx. 60 miles northeast of Smyrna. The Church of Sardis was all about faith, but had no works. Jesus has a stern warning for the churches like this that have faith without works. As always, these rebukes are to the collective whole of the church and not the individual per say. Jesus is clear that those who are believers have nothing to fear. He will not blot their name out of the Book of Life. Let’s jump in and see what we can learn today from the 5th letter to the churches.

Today we will take a look at the 4th letter written to the church of Thyatira. In this letter we see another description of Jesus that John used in chapter 1. He is described as the The Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like burnished bronze. Remember this indicates the piercing gaze of Jesus, that He sees all and nothing is hidden from Him. The feet of burnished bronze represents the fires of judgement. Like metal that is put through the fire to test its purity. Jesus praises them saying…I know your deeds, and your love and faith and service and perseverance, and that your deeds of late are greater than at first. However, the rebuke to this church is probably the lengthiest one of all the letters. Let’s jump in and see what we can learn from this letter to Thyatira.

We continue the journey through the Book of Revelation today by picking up with the 3rd letter written to the Church of Pergamum. This letter mirrors the 3 period in Church History. The persecution of the church by the Romans ends as Constantine makes Christianity the state religion. This introduces new problems that are covered in the letter to the Church of Pergamum. Jesus says these problems must be addressed or He will come with the 2 edged sword from His mouth (the Word of God) and He will wage war against those causing these problems. Let’s take a look this interesting letter and see what we can learn from it today!
