We have heard about the glorious wonder of our soon-to-be future in the New Heavens and the New Earth; and it captivated our hearts. But when we look at the world as it is now, we see a different reality. So as John rounds out the account of his vision that he will send to […]
Many people have a vision of Heaven that is ethereal, like sitting on a cloud with a harp. As we come near to the end of Revelation, John is shown a vision of our future that blows this white cloud idea out of the water. Join us as we unpack the glorious wonder of our […]
The question of the Millennium for many Christians is one of confusion, controversy and division. For others it is the critical issue in studying Revelation. As we work our way through this tricky passage, we will see that this 1000 year reign has far more to offer than controversy.
