Prelude to Wrath

On Sunday morning’s we are continuing to study through the book of Revelation – one of the most fascinating books of the Bible. Firstly it is the only book that promises a blessing simply for reading it (see Rev 1:3). But this is a book that has been slandered, more I’m sad to say by […]

The Un-Holy Trinity

On Sunday morning we were looking at the last two of seven characters introduced to us in chapters 12 & 13 (If you haven’t already noticed, the book of Revelation is arranged around groups of 7). In chapter twelve we were introduced to 1) the Woman, who we saw was ‘mystical Eve’ carrying the line down […]

Man’s Greatest Opponent

What do the names dragon, serpent, beast, accuser & deceiver all have in common?  They are all names given to mankind’s greatest enemy – Satan. Satan, often simply called ‘the Devil’ used to be known as Lucifer, which means ‘light bearer’ (Isaiah 14:12). According to Ezekiel 28, he was once a stunningly beautiful super-angel, possibly […]

The Sound of Silence

Over recent weeks we have been journeying through the book of Revelation. After all the intensity and tremendous worship we have seen from chapters 4-7, with the great chorus of praise from the great multitude, the elders, the angels and the four living creatures, everything now comes to a screeching halt.  The suspense and anticipation of […]

Operation Rescue

Picture the scene: The war is almost over and all the soon-to-be victorious warriors have been air-lifted home. All that remains is for the heavy artillery to launch the final decisive blow on the enemy. However, there are a number of soldiers who had gone AWOL, disobeyed their General’s orders, and as a result had […]

This is just the beginning!

Much of the church today tends to ignore prophecy, or at least, put it to one side, deeming it to be ‘difficult’, ‘hard to understand’ or even divisive! In ‘The Purpose Driven Life’, a book embraced by many churches both in the UK and in America,  pastor Rick Warren made the following incredible statement: “When […]

The Title Deed of Earth

 Session 8 – The Throne Room of the Universe Pt2 In the previous session we saw a glimpse of Heaven as John is ‘caught up‘ and told “Come up here and see the things which must be ‘after these things’” – literally, things that are to occur after the church age. John is then ‘immediately’ […]
