Synopsis
If you have ever been afraid to study the book of Revelation because the prophecies and the symbolism are too confusing, then this series of studies is for you. The prophecies and symbols will be studied in conjunction with the rest of the Bible so that you will learn from the Bible what God has to say in the book of Revelation. The objective of this study series is to bring you closer to Jesus and give you hope for the future. In doing this you will know Him more and will be able to serve Him better regardless of your circumstances. This study is not designed to tell you when, where, or why some country is going to invade Israel. It will not tell you when the rapture is going to occur but it analyzes Scripture so you can have an informed theology of the end-times.This is part one of a three-part series. This study includes thirteen lessons for one quarter of study. It will cover Revelation 1 – 3, Jesus and the seven churches. About the AuthorRay Ruppert and his wife Terri have been life group (home Bible studies) leaders at Canyon Hills Community Church in Bothell, WA for nineteen years. They are currently serving as flock leader for four life groups. For several years, Ray has been writing questions for the church’s life groups. The questions are based on the sermons at CHCC. Ray has a MA in theological studies from Liberty University. He has been a long time student of prophecy since becoming a Christian in 1974.Forward by Dr. Dwaine Braddy – Retired professor of Bible and Pastoral Ministries for 26 years at Northwest University, Kirkland, Washington.Mr. Ruppert has produced an effective study of the Book of Revelation as his use of questions followed by answers engage the student or group studying Revelation. He emphasizes the key principle of what the text meant THEN before what it means NOW, which I believe are crucial to understanding Revelation. The outline he used for the messages to the 7 churches is the same as I used when I taught Revelation at Northwest University. While I did not do an exhaustive evaluation of his studies, his interpretation corresponds to mine in areas such as the first seal in chapter 6 and the two witnesses in chapter 11.I commend Mr. Ruppert for the research, time and I’m sure, prayer that he has put into these three study guides, which I believe can lead one, whether a new believer or an “old-timer” in the faith like me, to desire to study this book that deals with lessons for today’s church and events leading up to Christ’s 2nd Coming, God’s final Judgments, and the New Heavens and the New Earth! If he is able to present this class at our church, I for one would attend it. Shalom good friend and Maranatha, even so come LORD Jesus!
