Revelation Study
Welcome to our immersive journey through the Book of Revelation, where we move beyond common interpretations to find hope and ancient wisdom. Each lesson is crafted to reveal the beauty of the Apocalypse and restore our messianic expectation.
Study 1: The 7's
In this study, we explore why Jesus alone is worthy to open the seven seals, and how the trumpets and bowls are tucked within His unfolding plan. We’ll see that He Himself begins the end of this age by opening the first seal, and He brings it to a close by opening the final seal—a holy “moment of silence” that marks the completion of God’s redemptive work.
Study 2: Time Stamps
In this study, we’ll slow down and learn how to spot the “time stamps” of Scripture—those encoded words and phrases that quietly tell us which time period God is talking about. By the end of this study, you’ll start recognizing these clues for yourself, so the story of Revelation and the rest of the Bible becomes clearer, more ordered, and far less confusing.
Study 3: Realms
In this study, we’ll look at how the “realms” of history and Scripture help us make sense of Jesus’ return and the timing of key events. I believe this realm went right to work when the Millennial Reign began and the realms were closed off to each other—what we often call the Dark Ages—to create a version of history that wipes out Jesus’ second coming and throws off the timing of so much more, including Satan’s “little season” after his thousand-year binding. When Jesus says, “there will be some here that will not taste death before you see the Son of Man coming in His glory and kingdom,” we’re going to let His words mean exactly what they say, instead of forcing them into something else. In this session, we’ll see that there are two realms—and how recognizing them brings clarity to the true timelines and events prophesied in Scripture.
Study 4: Kings
In this study, we’re going to look at “kings” the way Scripture uses the word, not just the way our human minds picture it. We tend to imagine earthly rulers—men in crowns over physical nations—but the biblical picture is far richer and more layered. I’ll show you how the parabolic word “king” functions like a hybrid term, reaching across realms: the physical realm of the west where the temple is, the physical realm of the east where we are, and the unseen spiritual realm of Hades. These kings can belong either to Hades or to God’s army, and they can appear as men, as humans. Scripture also reveals tiers of angels with different titles. Michael and Gabriel—often called princes—are the kind of mighty angels we usually think of, with Michael among the most powerful. But there is also a group of angels who look like men, and in this session I’m going to walk you through the passages that show this. It may sound unusual at first, but stay with it—by the end, you’ll see how this changes the way we read kings, realms, and authority in the Bible.
Study 5 Part 1: Seed Lines
In this study, we're looking at the two seed lines of the harvest—the wheat and the tares - which all began in the garden. Not everyone belongs to the same seed line of man. I'm not talking about God's creation in general, but about the seed of Adam, the human family line. This is why God so carefully records the generations all the way to the Messiah, starting in Genesis—where the root word is gene.'
Study 6: The Letters
In this study, we’ll walk through the letters to the angels over the seven churches and see how they speak to more than just one moment in history. These messages go out to three people groups across two key time periods: Satan’s short time before the Millennial Reign, and Satan’s little season when he is released again. Together we’ll trace how these letters warn, comfort, and prepare God’s people in both eras, and how understanding their timing helps us read Revelation with greater clarity and confidence.
Study 7 Part 2: short time Beast
In this study, we continue exploring Satan's short time—this is part 2 of 3. In the first session, we looked at Seals 1–3 and Trumpets 1–4 and how they brought on the tribulation of this period, also called Jacob's Trouble. This tribulation took place primarily in Jerusalem, though believers in and around the Greek regions—the very churches that received the New Testament letters—were also affected. Satan's short time targets a very specific region and people. In this lesson, we'll dig into the parabolic language of beasts, kings, horns, mountains, and more, and see how God and Jesus use these images to speak to their sheep. You'll also notice how little direct information Scripture gives us about Satan's short time, and that the phrase 'short time' itself only appears twice. By the end, you'll have a clearer picture of this narrow but important window in God's timeline.
Study 8: The Millennial Reign
In this study, we dig into the Millennial Reign of Christ—what it is, when it happens, and who it is for. We’ll explore how Scripture describes a thousand-year period of peace and righteous rule, what it means for Satan to be bound during this time, and how the promises to God’s people find their fulfillment in this reign. By the end, you’ll have a clearer picture of how the Millennial Reign fits into the larger story of Revelation and God’s redemptive timeline - which has been changed by the enemy. Let's learn our true timeline and where we are in GOD's prophesies!
Study 10: The Two Witnesses
Welcome to an in-depth session where we’ll seek to uncover the identity, specific role, and powerful testimony of the Two Witnesses. We’ll look at how their unique ministry interlocks with the overarching timeline of Revelation, demonstrating how they fulfill the divine law of two or three witnesses in a profound way. By carefully comparing Scripture with Scripture, we will let the Bible define its own symbols and characters, providing you with a clear and inviting look at this pivotal prophecy. Join us as we find clarity through the Word together.
Study 11 Part 2: Satan's Little Season
There are three key players during Great Tribulation: Satan, the Beast and False Prophet. Join me while we investigate the Beast who is released in the 5th Trumpet: Abaddon or Apollyon in Greek! Let's dive into the characters of the 42 months or time, times and half a time that is set into place with Seal 4 (the Pale Horse of Hades and Death) with Trumpets 5, 6 and 7! Seal 5 is interesting - let's look at who is under the alter and told to rest through it all!
Study 11 Part 1: Satan's Little Season
This study covers the time frame when the Millennial Reign ends, Satan is released to deceive the world one last time, and the timing of the Beast and False Prophet who help. We'll walk through the timeline, characters, and key events. What has Satan been up to in the past 250 years - especially when he only has 10 left, out of the 260 years (of the 1,260 - minus the Millennial Reign that already occurred) to persecute GOD's people and deceive, if possible, even the elect?
Study 12: Seal 6 - Great Tribulation and Bowls
Let's dive into what happens during Seal 6! Jesus snaps this Seal INSIDE Bowl 6. This is when He comes as a ‘thief’ to those who did not believe or repent (Jesus doesn’t come a ‘third’ time - He just reveals Himself to everyone - the sky opens like a scroll). He is seen by all people, tribes, nations and tongues, and they hide themselves in the caves. We learned in past studies, Jesus is in the other realm, where it will be accessible again when the "Euphrates River" dries up and the passage is once again restored.
Study 13: Armageddon & GOD's Kingdom
Seal 6 continues with the final battle between good and evil. Jesus and His army are prepared and ready to go! Armageddon will happen and the Beast and False Prophet are thrown into the lake of fire as seen in Chapter 19. Everyone who belongs to GOD is in the New Jerusalem, (above - taken in the 7th Trumpet off the earth), for the destruction of the earth, and Satan surrounds the ‘beloved city’. GOD destroys him with his breath, and he is cast into the lake of fire where the Beast and False Prophet are! Let's study the end of this age - it's time for the Kingdom of GOD and every tear will be wiped away!
Study 5 Part 2: Seed Lines
This study continues the harvest and how the seed line of Cain jumped the flood that purified the earth of contaminated genetic codes!
The study sheets for this study are included in Study 5 Part 1!
Study 7 Part 1: Satan's Short Time
In this study, we're going to look closely at Satan's short time—the window between Jesus' ascension and His second coming for the Millennial Reign. In the book of Daniel, we're given three key numbers: 1,290, 1,260, and 1,335. These are all years, not literal days. Although many have been taught that the 1,260 days in Revelation are a 3.5 year 'great tribulation,' we'll see why that doesn't fit the scriptural pattern, where days are often equated with years, and a day is like a thousand years to God. In this session, we'll focus on the 30-year span revealed by 1,290 minus 1,260. This 30-year period stretches from Jesus' ascension to His second coming and marks Satan's short time to go out and persecute Jacob—what Scripture calls Jacob's Trouble. We'll introduce all three number groupings, but tonight our attention will be on understanding this crucial 30-year window.
Study 7 Part 3: Short Time Greece
In this study, we’ll look at why Satan’s short time is one of the most misunderstood periods in Scripture. From the pulpit, it’s often blended together with Satan’s little season—the end of this age when he is released from the pit. I believe we are living in that little season now. But there is another, earlier window that is frequently overlooked, with very little said about it in the New Testament outside of Revelation and Jesus’ own warnings to His disciples, because they were the ones who would live through it. He even tells them that some standing there would not taste death until these things were fulfilled. We’ll also consider John the Revelator’s role in this, and why I believe he was preserved on the island of Patmos in Greece during this time. Together we’ll dive into the Scriptures to unpack what Jesus really meant in Matthew 24—not through human opinion, history, or theology, but by letting the pure Word of God speak for itself.
Study 9: Mystery Babylon
In this study, we explore Mystery Babylon and where it is located. We will be looking at the ruler and the parabolic language of ships, merchants, horns, beasts and kings as revealed in the Book of Revelation. We will deconstruct the systems of interpretation to reveal the true identity and role of this mystery within God's redemptive plan.
Study 14: Matthew 24
Now that we have completed the study, let's look at Matthew with new eyes and break down Jesus's answer when He is asked when His second coming will be AND the end of the age! It's interesting how Jesus flows back and forth between the two time lines in His prophetic answer!
