Revelation: An Image-Rich Ancient Book of Comfort
 There
has always been an infatuation with the book of Revelation. Full of vivid and
perplexing symbolism, this book has been interpreted in various ways since it
was first circulated among the seven churches in Asia Minor. If you were alive
in the first century and a member of one of these seven churches, what do you
think this book would have spoken to you? To the uninitiated modern reader the
imagery is often read in a very literal way. To the ancient reader the imagery
spoke with power and brought understanding and comfort in the face of
persecution. Today, we debate more about the smaller issues of the book which
often blur our attention to its major themes. What is the prophetic word of
Revelation for today? There is one and we will share that message with you in
this study.
I invite you to join us. There's
NO COST to join this
study. Just
fill in the information
below. BTW: We do not share our eMail list with anyone, so it is safe with
us.
Here's How We Will Study Revelation Together
- Each Saturday, I will eMail you the lesson for the
week. Then you can read the Bible passage and use my notes to help you
understand the text better and read the questions to interact with the
text.
- These lessons are presented in a blog format. You can
respond to the questions in each lesson using the Comment section below the
lesson. That allows you to comment as well as read other's comments about the
lesson. I encourage you to comment as often as you wish to do so. There are
some guidelines for using the Comment section. At the bottom
of the comment page there is a check box, if you click it you will receive an
email to alert you that someone has made a comment. It is my hope that you will
use this opportunity to focus on "living in God's EPIC Advanture."
- Each lesson will have an audio presentation that
sums up the lesson. Some who learn better from hearing than from reading only
find this helpful.
- Then on Saturday, I will send you the next
lesson.
Why don't you sign up today — and then encourage
some of your friends to sign up and study along with you. Go to the
Sign Up box below and
leave us the requested information.
You will receive the first lesson on the next
Saturday after you register and each Saturday thereafter until its
conclusion. There is no
cost to participate in the study, though
donations are encouraged so I can create more studies
and reach more folks just like you. We respect your privacy and never sell or
rent our lists. Please do not sign up
for your friends; let them decide for themselves.
