We moved forward in our study of the book of Revelations (of John).
- Rev. 20:1-10
- Rev. 19: 19-20
- Rev. 20: 11-E
- Is. 24:1-6
- Jer. 17:1-10
- Is. 24: 6-E
- Rev. 19:11-16
- 2 Tim. 3:1-7
- 2 Tim. 4:1-18
- Philip. 3:8...
- IS 52: 6-E
- Philip. 3: 9-E
A study of the events occurring at the start of the Millenium, (Christ's return; His vengeance poured out; 'Satan' bound; encouragement to 'Sacrifice for eternity' = give up claim to all you hold dear on this earth); and glimpses of life here during the Millenium, and then the foolishness of rebellious man, that brings 'the ages to come'!
Particular note: '...his visage was so marred...', (v.14), does not mean his actual form or how he looks, (usually thought to mean: what he looked like after his punishment, and as he hung on the cross). A 'visage' is the image people have of a thing. Therefore, this specifically refers to the mental image, the idea, the 'persona', the characteristics people attribute to Christ, and ultimately, to God. Whether it be a 'chore-boy', a god who does things for you, or an idea of a loving god who overlooks repeated faults, (sins), or who gives every(/any-)one a 'free pass' just for speaking a 'sinner's prayer; this is an image of god that does not match His Word.
