In this episode, we'll jump straight into the heart of the gospel itself, the heart of the book of Revelation, and the interpretive lens through which to understand the rest of the book. Revelation 5:1-10 will be our passage, and we'll see the power of apocalyptic language once again push us into new worlds of thinking and just how it is God intends to both judge and save the world.

In this episode, we'll wrap up our look at Revelation 4, paying particular attention to the repeated adjective "holy" to describe the Lord God Almighty. We'll see why God as Creator is a fitting reason for worshiping the one who lives forever and ever as well as why God alone is at the center of all worship.

In this episode, we'll continue our look at Revelation 4, noticing all of the images and creatures being described that surround the throne. We'll also look at David's Song of Deliverance from 2 Samuel 22 to consider just what it might mean that lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder are coming from God's throne (Rev. 4:5).

In this episode, we'll continue our look at Revelation 4, paying particular attention to its focus on thrones and why the church would find such a vision significant. We'll compare Revelation 4 with Revelation 13 and discuss how both God and Rome lay claim to a throne, to power, to authority, and to the right of worship. The church's success as faithful witnesses depends heavily on who they will choose to believe is really on the throne.

In this episode, we'll look at Jesus' words to the church in Philadelphia from Revelation 3:7-13. Despite their smallness and seemingly insignificant influence, these Christians are deeply loved by the Holy One of Israel himself, Jesus Christ.  This week's Unbound Truth: God's protection and blessing come to those who faithfully witness to Jesus.
