Revering the Word

Even in the Tribulation there is hope!!!

This is an important episode that reveals some significant evidence for why I don’t believe the church will experience the tribulation.

Some of the places we look to are Daniel 9 and 1 Thess 4 and 5 to show how this all fits together.

This is one of the most glorious scenes in all the Bible.  If you believe in Jesus I believe you will experience this.

There is no mention of tribulation prior to the rapture in

1 Thess 4
1 Cor. 15
Or
Rev 4

In both 1 Thess 5 and Rev 6 the tribulation is revealed after the rapture.  He loves his church, we are his bride and I believe we will be rescued from the hour of trial that is coming on “earth dwellers” as we have seen in prior lessons in Revelation.

Is the church in America luke warm?  Am I?  These letters do not carry the normal doctrine that is shared in the pews of most churches.  Could that be part of the problem.  Do we have a lot of Sunday only, do nothing Christians because we focus on a portion of the Bible that emphasizes over and over what we do doesn't matter?  After all, don’t we just have to (say we) have faith?

Jesus gives us some powerful teaching in these letters to the churches.  What would the letter say to your church?  What if you got a letter from Jesus?  Praise God for his grace through faith but true faith is supposed to be transformative.

The Jews are back in Jerusalem and they are praising God for His blessing.  Make sure to praise Him for how he has blessed you.

Humility and grace is needed in our study of Revelation.  I will be teaching from a Pre-millennial and Pre-tribulational viewpoint and do so both convincingly and also with respect for others who may believe a different view.

It would be such a blessings to hear from you.  This preacher teaches into a mic an awful lot and I don’t get to hear much from my audience.  Would you be willing to share a Revering the Word testimonial?  Please go to www.reveringtheword.com and click on the top bar text where it says testimonials.  Not only will this encourage me but  it will help other listeners and also be helpful to our donors. 

There is a great distinction between the future of the believer and unbeliever.  I look forward to skipping like a calf!

This is really a powerful chapter.  Did John the Baptist know about the great mystery of the Bible?  Do you?  

Other topics include:
Are you robbing God?
Having a proper fear of God?
Keeping your hope on the life to come.
The book of life and the reward for believing.

Have you made the decision to be a man or woman of God all the days of your life?

How does God feel about divorce?  How should we feel about it?

Malachi 1 What happens when spiritual leaders and then the people do not honor the Word.

600 years apart and you will find that the things Zechariah says echo what Jesus revealed to John in the book of Revelation.

In recent days and in the past year, two Godly women I know have committed suicide. What is happening?  What can we learn and how can we restore God’s perspective.

I hope this episode helps people see why it is great to hold a view but showing respect to others and having humility is important.

There is going to be a glorious day to behold one day.  It will be both sadness and regret but also utmost joy for those who finally embrace Jesus.

Psalm 145 Have you ever tried alphabet praise? Give it a try today.

In this difficult chapter to interpret there is also found a beautiful nugget of truth and evidence where God ties together thousands of years of history.

This is an update from Revering the Word ministry as we approach completing our first time through the Bible and look forward getting many more on board for January 1, 2027.

My Kingdom come, My will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Jesus came to usher in Gentiles, people like you and me into God’s family through faith in Him.  The Jews expected Jesus to restore them and their nation and their temple.  It may very well be that because they failed in welcoming Gentiles and because the failed to honor and worship Him rightly God brought about the first coming to welcome the Gentiles in  and he is waiting on his second coming to win more.  When He comes the second time he will restore Israel, Jerusalem and a remnant of Jews and we will also share in the blessi...

Just prior to Jesus’ ascension the Apostles asked this question.   Why?   This is a very important teaching in understanding Old and New Testaments.

Going to church, reading the word and obeying are all important but what God is really after is an authentic change in our faith and behavior because we are devoted to Him. Attendance and obedience are now byproducts of the authenticity.  Attendance and obedience without true change is not the goal.

Is it right for us to think that what God did for David He will do for us?

Which statement(s) is/are correct?

What God did for David he did do for David.

What God did for David he will do for me.

What God did for David he should do for me.

What God did for David He can do for me.

One day Jesus is coming back and He will restore Jerusalem.  Some people are taking an axe to the stump not realizing there is life in it.  

Zechariah 5 One day Babylon, which represents all whom are wicked, will be judged.  The way of escape is Jesus.

At times in life you may be called to something and the results may seem small.  Don’t give up when they are small and watch what God can do.

Satan wants to accuse you, discourage you and make you feel unworthy.  Don’t let him who has been rebuked win, in the thoughts of your mind. Christ died to forgive you and grant you new clothes of righteousness.

There is much controversy regarding Israel today.  However, many who debate it are not basing their view on knowledge of the Bible.

Zechariah was born in Babylon but is now back in Jerusalem serving as prophet and priest.  He is inspiring the people to continue to rebuild and has much to say about the future, the Messiah, and the restoration of Jerusalem.

Despite some of the sins and setbacks of David’s life we have much we can learn from his devotion to and relationship with God.

David was lonely and loneliness led him to God.  May grow stronger in God through loneliness.  Never forget his mercies are new every morning and the sun will come out tomorrow.

Haggai 2 We have a spiritual signet ring on our finger, yet God desires we would set our hearts to consider our ways.

Please take the time to evaluate this word and your life and put into action what God leads you to do.

Whether one experiences judgement of eternal life will all be base on whether they have trusted in Jesus.  Confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and God raised Him from the dead, get baptized and be saved.

If you want the historical context of Zephaniah please listen to the teaching on chapter 1.  

This is a rather short teaching.  In order to understand Zephaniah’s message please listen to the background given in chapter 1’s teaching.

In this chapter we go over an important review of Eschatology: The study of last things.  Zephaniah is speaking of God’s judgement not only upon Judah of his day but the future judgement that is coming upon our world. Will you escape it? How?

In this chapter Habakkuk writes a song about praising and glorifying God, even amidst trial and hardship.  It is a great lesson for us now or for preparation for our future.

In this chapter, God challenges Habakkuk to wait on God and live by faith, even amidst suffering.  One day God will restore. Until then he is to live by faith.
