'We must be well-grounded in plain truths and duties, and those must first be well-digested, before we dive into those things that are dark and difficult -- many run themselves into confusion by beginning their Bible at the wrong end.' - Matthew Henry
This sermon series incorporates the historic Protestant interpretation of the book of Revelation, which is rarely preached or studied today. For most people, this will be the first time they have heard it.
What you think the book of Revelation teaches and when you think it was written, determines how you live your life -- are we to conquer the world for Christ or tread water until He rescues us on the last day? -- and what you think the headlines mean. Do events in the Middle East prove we are on the brink of the end times? Is Antichrist about to be revealed? Is Armageddon around the corner?
This generation of Christians has been taught Futurism; that most of Revelation describes end-time events.
Futurism is a late 16th century Roman Catholic invention that was crafted to defend the Papacy against the claims of the Protestant Reformation. Sadly, most fundamentalists and evangelicals are unknowingly parroting Roman Catholic propaganda.
The historic Protestant view is that Revelation is a panorama of world history from the first century to the end of time. It reveals the rise and fall of nations, of Papalism and Islam, of a future New World Order of one government and one religion imposed upon the world. But it also reveals the final triumph of the Lord Jesus Christ and the Christianization of all nations BEFORE the end of human history.
