In this series you will learn:
Part 1: The Rings of Revelation
We look at an ancient form of writing called ring composition and how Star Wars can help us understand Revelation. We then turn to looking at the literary “rings” of Revelation and how this helps us understand what John is writing by pointing us to a central teaching of the book.
Part 2: Revelation and the Gospel of John
Building on the literary composition of Revelation as illustrated by Star Wars, we take a look at how John’s Gospel and Revelation are actually meant to be read as a single book with the same central teaching. This in turn helps us begin to understand the mysteries of the Apocalypse in surprising and staggering ways. We will focus at the end of the binding of Satan in Rev 20.
Part 3: Reading Revelation Part I.
Having the tools to see the central message of Revelation, we turn to the first half of the book and look specifically at some of the more supernatural elements found in its pages. We will look begin in Revelation 12 and the birthday of Jesus. We will look at the letters to the churches and how they relate to the planets in the sky and at the heavenly throne room with its four living creatures and myriads of heavenly beings present there.
Part 4 : Reading Revelation Part II.
We finish our study by looking at the second half of Revelation. We will focus our attention on the Four horsemen (Rev 6), the beasts from the pit (Rev 9), “666,” Armageddon, and the new Jerusalem.
