Subject: Teaching Bible Prophecy |
Bible Note: You really speak to where I am at in my Bible study right now. I am just completing a year-long in-depth study of Matthew, and will be starting an in-depth study of Revelation in a couple of weeks. This is what is currently impressing me the most is just what you said, Jesus on a donkey in Matthew, and on a white horse in Revelation. The risen Jesus of Matthew 28, the glorified Jesus of Revelation 1. The Saviour in Matthew, the Judge in Revelation. And of course, soooo much more!!! Comparing and contrasting Matthew and Revelation is amazing! It's totally exciting! It should be taught! People think of Revelation as a mysterious book of future prophecy that no one can really understand anyway, but the simple fact is, while it does contain some of that, what this book called Revelation is, is a "revelation of JESUS CHRIST, which God gave Him to show His slaves. . ." We can add so much to our understanding of Jesus by looking at these books. This is one of the many reasons I love my church so much, is that we simply go through the Bible, book by book, chapter by chapter, verse by verse, teaching all that is in there. Not following some "theological system" as some have said, simply teaching the Word of God, in its entirety. Its all given for our edification, to build us up in the most holy faith. We need to know all of it. So I'm with you, brother! Love in Christ, Mark |
