As Jesus taught His disciples about divorce, He not only wanted them to understand God’s view of divorce but also how that view would be completely counter-cultural. For those who profess Christ, our view of divorce will be very different from those who advocate for divorce on demand.

As Christians, we must always ask, “What does the Bible say?” And what the Bible teaches about divorce must be our belief and practice. In this series, Tom explains from Scripture that God hates divorce and will not allow it among His people, with only two exceptions—we’ll discover those exceptions in this series

At an appointed time in the future, Satan, his demons, and the unbelieving world will magnify their hatred and rejection of God as they continue to freely sin against Him. But such a dark and unthinkable time provides every generation of Christians with many timeless truths about God and the urgency to preach the gospel to our lost world.

The Bible teaches that God is not the source of evil, nor does He tempt or force anyone to do evil. This is a critical doctrine to understand, because in the book of Revelation, the apostle John describes how wickedness and evil will run rampant during the future tribulation period.

Since the beginning of time in the Garden of Eden, Satan has opposed God’s plan and His people. In the future, according to the book of Revelation, his murderous desires will escalate as he seeks to blind people from the truth of the gospel and keep them enslaved in their sin.

The apostle John describes the sixth trumpet judgment as a plague of locusts fueled by Satan and his demons. It will bring catastrophe to the unbelieving and unrepentant world.

In these profound chapters, the apostle John describes several judgments of God unleashed on the unbelieving world during the seven-year tribulation period. As these inevitable realities unfold, God continues to show His unmatched holiness and perfect justice. At the same time, His mercy continues with the gracious invitation to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of sins and salvation.

The trumpet judgments described in Revelation 8–9 are a series of judgments God will unleash on the unbelieving world during the future seven-year tribulation period. These judgments are similar to the 10 plagues in Egypt during the time of Moses, and they are described by many Old Testament prophets.

Revelation 8–9 describes God’s judgment and wrath being poured out on the earth during the second half of the Tribulation. And it will fall in direct response to the prayers of God's people. These amazing chapters teach us that God hears the prayers of His people and is eager to respond according to His will.

Revelation 8 starts by highlighting the truth that God hears the prayers of those redeemed through Christ during the tribulation. This is a powerful reminder that our great God hears the prayers of His people, no matter the situation.
