Deep Springs Baptist Church Sermon Series

In today's episode, we look at the first 8 verses of Revelation 21.  John receives a vision of the New Heaven and New Earth.  It's remarkable in its brevity and yet breathtaking to even think about.  Because it is so difficult to grasp with finite minds, John describes in terms of what is "not" in the New Heaven and New Earth.  This is the only place in the Word of God where we get a description of the Eternal State. 

In today's episode, we look at one of the most awesome and frightful passages in all of God's Word.  John sees the final judgment of all unbelievers.  It will be unlike any judgment the world has ever seen.  Heaven and earth pass away and there is nowhere to hide from a Holy and Righteous God!   Each one will stand before God and receive a fair sentence based on their works.  Those who are not in the Lamb's Book of Life will be cast into the Lake of Fire for eternity! 

In today's episode we look at the beginning of the Millennial Kingdom.  To begin with, Satan is bound for 1,000 years.  Then the saints of all ages are shown in places of authority and judgment over the world.  Jesus Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords ruling on this earth for a literal 1,000 year period.  After the 1,000 years, Satan is unleashed to lead one last rebellion of mankind.  God will quickly put an end to this and cast the devil into the lake of fire.  We will look at the various views on the Millennium and the idea of annihilation. 

We have finally come to the much anticipated theme of the book of Revelation!  Jesus Christ returns to Earth with the armies of Heaven accompanying Him.  He is coming to judge and make war in righteousness!  Those who return with Him will only be spectators.  He alone will destroy His enemies with the power of His Word!  No longer wearing a crown of thorns, He returns with man crowns (diadems) upon His head.  Appropriately, He is named the KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS!!! 

In chapter 18 and verse 20, the inhabitants of Heaven are told to rejoice over the destruction of Babylon.   Chapter 19 opens with a response of Hallelujah's!  This word "Hallelujah" (which means "Praise the LORD") occurs only here in the New Testament these four times.   We are also told the marriage of the Lamb has arrived.   An invitation to the marriage supper of the Lamb awaits for the blessed!   Finally, John does something for which the angel reproves him.

In today's episode we look at the destruction of political and commercial Babylon.   The Old Testament prophecies of the total destruction of Babylon are finally fulfilled.   God's call to His people in this chapter (and to all ages) is "Come out of her". 

In today's episode we do a full exposition of Revelation chapter 17.  John is given information by this "Bowl Angel" that explains the nature of the relationship between the Beast, the Ten Horns, and The Harlot.   They are able to coexist for a time. But in a dramatic twist, the 10 Kings turn on The Harlot and become the agents of her destruction.  Join us with an open Bible as we hear what the Spirit has to say. 

One of the angels who had the seven bowls/vials continues to explain to John the "judgment of the great harlot".  John was astonished to see this woman was "drunk with the blood of the saints".   The attention next turns to the Beast which John had already seen in chapter 13. There is particular emphasis on the fact that the Beast will apparently suffer a fatal would and have a miraculous recovery.  All whose names were not written in the Book of Life will worship this beast when they witness his reemergence. 

In today's episode, we look at one of the most difficult passages within the book of Revelation.  John is visited by an angelic interpreter who will explain to him the judgment of Great Babylon.   The first few verses give a description of this woman who "sits on many waters".   Old Testament prophecy and scripture will help us to interpret the symbolism. 

In today's episode, we come to the final series of judgments on the "earth-dwellers" in Revelation.  The 7 Bowl (KJV says "vials") Judgments especially target those who worship the beast.  They are unprecedented and unparalleled in their scope and destruction.  Despite the awful outpouring of God's wrath, men choose to blaspheme God rather than repent.   These judgments pave the way for the campaign of Armageddon, and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
