Two Chapters 15 & 16

John uses a combination of Daniel 7 and Psalm 110:1The Son of Man “I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And came near before Him. And to Him was given dominion, Glory, and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations, and men of every tongue Might serve Him. His  dominion is an everlasting  dominion Which will not be taken away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed. Daniel 7:13-14Yahweh says to my Lord: “Sit at My right hand Until I put Your enemies as a footstool for Your feet.” Psalm 110:1 (most quoted OT verse in NT)

Eternal Gospel, Day of the Lord, Wine of Wrath

And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, that they be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,  and that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.  Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of man; and his number is 666. Revelation 13:16-18

The Beast! What or Who is it?

Revelation 12 Final Conclusion. We look at this chapter in a different way.

Moving to Ohio. Raising Adults. Breaking Down your New Testament Reading Plan.

Read your Bible in a year with me! Here is a breakdown of the Old Testament. Don't give up when you hit "boring" passages. We can do it together.

Why are we so afraid of dying? What is a MPOA & Living Will? Most Important: What is Fly Fishing???

The Author: Father Richard Rohr (Franciscan Friar). Franciscans are a religious order within the Catholic Church. The Book: The Universal Christ: How a Forgotten Reality Can Change Everything We See, Hope For, and Believe NY Times Bestseller Richard Rohr is referred to as one of the world’s most influential spiritual thinkers. Let's take a closer look into this man and his work.

This episode is a sermon I was able to deliver earlier this year. Colossians 1:15-23.

We cover the entire 6th trumpet and jump to the last (7th) trumpet. Revelation 9:3-5, 7-11; 11:15-19

Revelation 9 Trumpet Five. Who is Abaddon/Apollyon? Refresher on the bottomless pit (Abyss). What are Demons? Believe it or not, we discuss Greek Mythology.

Revelation 8:6-13 describe the first four trumpets. Watch for the similarities between these and the plagues of Egypt found in the book of Exodus. Remember that the plagues were directed to the Egyptian gods. A “third” is used in Zechariah but not in the same way as its use in Revelation. The star is called “Wormwood”. This star strikes a third of the water which because “wormwood” leading to the death of those who drink it.

We discuss Revelation 8:1-5 The Lamb opens the 7th (final) Seal on the Scroll. The scroll could not be opened until all the seals were broken. Silence in Heaven (several interpretations) Who are the 7 Angels that Stand before God? Not the 7 angels of the 7 churches. Why? Prayer as incense in the OT is prayer accepted by God Revelation 8:3-5 is somewhat modeled after Ezekiel 10:1-7.

Rev. 7  Who are the 144,000? How do we understand the Great Tribulation? God’s people are to be marked and set apart from the destruction of God’s wrath. What does John Hear then See?

Revelation VI: 4 Horsemen, 7 Seals, Divine Warrior, Blood Altar, Black Sun, Blood Moon & Falling Stars This episode is packed full of information John uses from the Old Testament. Warning: lots of notes!

Revelation 5: Scrolls, Seals and the Lamb 

Part III  An Astral Interpretation to Identifying the 24 Elders. 

Part II: What is gemstone terminology? Who are the 24 elders? Why so much thunder, fire, lighting, clouds, mountains trembling and much more. 

Underworld: Who are the spirits in Prison? Where did Jesus go when he died? Who bows down at our feet? God writing a new name on us. 

What did Jesus mean when saying that He holds the 'Keys of Death and Hades' and the 'Keys of David'?

OT in Revelation Series: In this episode we are in Revelation 3 and will be discussing - White Robes, Soiled Garments, Walk with God, Conquering, the Book of Life and being Blotted Out, also being Naked and Ashamed.

Current Series - OT in Revelation: As we wrap up chapter two, these questions will be answered. What does Manna have to do with Heaven? Who receives the White Stone and what is written on it? What happens at the Heavenly Banquet? What is Name Theology? What is the meaning of the Morning Star? All this and more in this episode of the Book of Jude. 

What was the Church of Ephesus' first love? I've changed my mind on this teaching. We need to be more specific about what we mean when we reference their "first love". What is significant about removing the lampstand? What does the Church of Ephesus and Pergamum have to do with Old Testament characters, Balaam and Jezebel?  Answer: sexual immorality and idol worship.   

In this episode we discover John's intent to overlay titles for God the Father (YHWH), to God the Son (Jesus). Who is the 'Cloud Rider'? What does Baal have to do with it? All this and more in the fourth episode of season three.  

In this episode we explore John's use of the OT by connecting multiple dots. John uses "7" a lot: Seven Spirits, Seven Lampstands, Seven Stars, Seven Churches, Seven Torches, etc. We will break down each mention of the "sevens" and produce a clear mosaic in our minds at the end.   

John's use of the Old Testament in the book of Revelation. In this episode we look at chapter 1 verse 4a and 8. John uses bad grammar on purpose to point his readers back to the OT. Exodus 3:14 is the verse John uses as a source text to make his point. 

Welcome to season three. Welcome to all of our new listeners! Chaplain Jude shares a little about himself and the mission of the podcast. We also begin a new and exciting series titled: Old Testament in Revelation. Forget everything you think you know about the book of Revelation. Things you do not need: Eschatological Presuppositions. Things you do need: Bible. Pen and paper to take notes. Let's have some fun! 

Season Finale: We close with major NT variants, resources used, and plans for the future. My hope is that you have become more knowledgeable of the Bible. That your confidence in God's Word has grown and matured. The Old and New Testament can and should be trusted. I pray now you are more equipped when confronted with supposed contradictions. This series was long, boring at times, but well worth it. Thank you for your support. 

Variants, variants and more variants! We discuss the New Testament manuscripts that differ from each other. Will these differences change your theology? Will they hurt your faith in God and trust in His Word? 

This is the second installment of episodes dedicated to the New Testament. We take a closer look at each book and the authors behind them. We debunk some so-called contradictions along the way.  

We have arrived at the New Testament (NT). In this episode, Chaplain Jude, discusses the reliability of the NT. Can we trust it? Is it God's Word? 

In this episode we look at different articles pertaining to textual editing. Yes, the Bible has gone through some changes. But don't worry, your faith will be strengthened. We'll take a closer look at the two scrolls of Jeremiah, Bible 'contradictions', and much more. 

Chaplain Jude explains all things Apocrypha. Why does the Roman Catholic Church have them? Why don't Protestant Bibles contain them? All this and more...
