REVELATION: THE KINGDOM YET TO COME STUDY SET
$36.99 by Jeff Cavins and Thomas Smith
The Revelations Study Set is essential for each participant. It includes engaging study “Questions” (with lesson summaries, home reading assignments, talk outlines, charts, diagrams, and more) and a set of suggested “Responses,” which are needed for home preparation, small group discussion, and lesson reviews.
Come and discover…
….the Old Testament biblical connections that illuminate the imagery of the apostle John’s visions in the Book of Revelation – a return to the central themes of Genesis, to illustrate how God will bring about a new creation and fulfill His covenant promises.
The opening salvo challenges one of the Churches not to “eat the things sacrificed to idols.” This needs to become our battle cry – for us not to be conformed to the world but to boldly hold to our allegiance to Christ – to join Christ and His Mother in rooting out and stamping on the head of our ancient enemy.
This course speaks to our turbulent times, offering hope but also a challenge. It focuses us on the triumphant return and Reign of Christ our King, God’s plan for a new creation, and the Marriage of the Lamb to His Bride.
