Jesus will appear before He returns. We have a couple of hints in Scripture that Jesus will be seen before His dramatic arrival triggering the battle of Armageddon. For example, in Revelation 14 we see the "144,000" standing on Mount Zion... standing with the Lamb. That seems to be about the midpoint of the Tribulation. Jim will give us some scriptural background to help us understand these events in Part 2 of Firstfruits out of Troubled Times. We'll pick up in Revelation 12.

When Satan rules the world, God will still be saving people. When we dig deep into the book of Revelation - as we'll do again today - we start to see that, even when the devil and the Beast are doing their worst, God is spoiling their plans. Besides the 144,000 Jewish believers, the Almighty will protect some others. We'll be turning some pages today as Jim connects several passages in the middle part of John's Apocalypse. The message is called Firstfruits out of Troubled Times. And here's Jim with Part 1.

To "read the handwriting on the wall" means to realize that the cause is lost, the party's over. This happened literally to a man we'll study today. Belshazzar was his name, a descendant of Nebuchadnezzar. And he really should have known better than to mock the God of Israel and desecrate His temple vessels. His sudden and complete ruin would cause men to say, "Babylon the great has fallen!" - say it for the first time. But we'll start in Revelation 13, where yesterday Jim focused on the word "authority."

"You, O king, are the king of kings...." Daniel said that, to Nebuchadnezzar! That ruler of ancient Babylon opened the Time of the Gentiles with his world domination. His distant descendant, Nebuchadnezzar, Junior, will close that age. We call him the Antichrist or the Beast. And these two have a lot in common, as Jim will point out on today's program. We're in Revelation 13 for Jim's message, The Other King of Kings.

Jesus said several times, "I'm coming quickly." That was 2,000 long years ago. How do we explain that? We'll need to understand who the Lord was speaking to, and how to make distinctions between similar words like "soon," "quickly" and "imminent." But do we really want Jesus to return today? Do we hear that as a promise, or as a threat? He's going to mess up our plans if He comes back right now! Today's program is a bonus bit added to our Revelation series. We'll be in chapter 22 with Pastor Jim.

It will be hell on earth for three-and-a-half years, and heaven will not intervene. Only those with confidence in God would dare defy the Antichrist and his master, the devil. And that faith is what Jesus was talking about in Matthew 25, with The Sheep and the Goats. We'll will pick up Jim's message there. Here's Part 3 of Who is Like the Beast?

Maybe you've asked yourself this question: If the devil knows he's going to lose, why does he keep fighting? We talk a lot about God's plan, but Satan has a plan, too. And it ends with him hurting the Almighty by destroying those whom God loves. He won't rule them - that's the cartoon devil - but he will deceive and damn them. The King among the devil's chess pieces is the Antichrist. Here's Jim with Part 2 of Who is Like the Beast?

Satan covets human worship...and he will have it! There are Satan worshipers today, of course - including the "rock 'n' roll" variety who may not be as serious as they pretend to be. But Revelation chapter 13 shows us a time when almost the entire planet will worship the "Dragon." After the exodus of the 2 Witnesses, and after the Abomination of Desolation, the devil and his human puppets will run the show. Pastor Jim has some insights in Part 1 of Who is Like the Beast?

The Prince and the Dragon. It's not a fairy tale - it's the future. Today we're closing the sermon, The Time Has Come. We'll be looking at Revelation 12, where John records the "great signs" of a Dragon, a Woman and her Son. We saw the beginning of this drama in Eden - now we get to watch how the play ends. But we need a little background, and for that, Jim takes us back to Daniel chapter 9, verse 26.

The nations are angry. God is angry. Whose anger will be satisfied, I wonder? Revelation reveals God as something other than the big Santa Claus in the sky. His holy rage at sin will not simmer forever. In our study we're in the middle of the Tribulation, and Jim will give us a recap to open his sermon, The Time Has Come.
