Gilbert House Fellowship #155: Revelation 10-13
TIMES WILL be hard during the seven-year period called the Great Tribulation. You don't want to be here for it.
This week, we discuss the two witnesses, the dragon and the rumble in the parking lot of heaven, and the beast that emerges from the sea in Revelation 13. The identity of the Beast has been the subject of speculation for two millennia, so we're not going to solve it here. The takeaway from the study of this book is that God has an endgame strategy and it will succeed. Please -- be on the winning side.
Here is the link to the video Derek mentioned, Dr. Michael Heiser explaining the astral prophecy of Revelation 12 that identifies the birth date of Jesus as September 11, 3 B.C. Mike's presentation is based on the work of E. L. Martin’s The Star that Astonished the World (which can be read for free).
