THIS STUDY deals with the last nine books of the Bible, and wraps up the twelve-part series unpacking the entire Bible. When people hear “The Last Word” anticipation for the mysteries of Revelation rises, but there is so much great stuff before we even get to the book of Revelation! Starting with Hebrews, this course brings you through the 5’s: the supremacy of Christ, the snare of apostasy, the superiority of Christianity, the standard of Christian behavior and supplication. Overall, we find out that Jesus is the best thing to ever happen to any religion, any person, anywhere in the world. You just cannot do any better than Jesus Christ.
THE GRAND FINALE in this series is the most mysterious and perhaps most misunderstood book of the Bible. Yet, Revelation is the only place in the Bible that promises a blessing to the reader. It’s a book written to encourage, not terrify the Church. Dr. Alan Meenan helps us to make sense of the saga of human history, which reaches back into the past, describes the present, and points to the future — to the glory, majesty and magnificence of a God whose kingdom rules overall and forever. We are reminded that God is in control. Evil may appear to have the upper hand, evil may appear to be strong, but Revelation points out again and again that evil can only operate within the confines that God has set. This is a word of encouragement to Christians both then and now.
Life is so uncertain and troubled and threatening, and we don’t know what the future may hold. This holds true for us today, does it not? There is a need to recognize the things that can’t change and embrace the things which must change. The grace of Jesus Christ is with us all.
