Experiencing the Manifold Grace of God
Once Christ returns and the Tribulation ends, there is an interval of 75 days. Hitchcock says, "Books about the end times frequently overlook the interval of time between the second coming of Christ and the official inauguration of the millennial kingdom" (The End, p, 393). “The existence of this interval is demonstrated in Daniel 12:11-12" [...]
Revelation 16 introduces us to the seven bowl judgments. "The seven angels to whom were given the seven plagues symbolized in the seven vials [bowls] are now commanded to pour out their divine judgments upon the earth" (Walvoord, The Revelation of Jesus Christ, p. 231). Precept Austin adds, "As each bowl is poured out, those [...]
As I have spent some time reflecting on the past 18 weeks of our End Times study, I am amazed at all we have learned and the many truths that have been clarified for me, personally, along the way. For those following along, we are taking a pause for the summer, and I want to [...]

Each set of judgments (seals, trumpets, and bowls) get progressively worse. Fruchtenbaum divides the tribulation into 4 quarters and places the [...]

And it was granted to the one who sat on it to take peace from the earth, and that people should kill one another; and there was given to him a great sword."Revelation [...]
As we move into this part of our study, I want to remind you of a couple things that will already be happening on earth before the tribulation starts. The first is the ministry of Elijah the Prophet (Malachi 4:5-6), and second is the government of 10 kings/10 kingdoms. This government must be in place [...]
Last week's study on Rev. 4 & 5 was such a blessing to me. It’s comforting to think of the Throne of God, and when no one else was worthy to open the scroll, the Lamb was found worthy! If there's anything God is teaching me through this study, it's that He is in control! [...]
