Presentation transcript:

Week 53 It’s the end of the world as we know it… …and I feel fine.

1 Peter (1631) “Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.” (1632)

1 Peter Christ, the perfect sacrifice (1632) Holiness because of said sacrifice Submission in Suffering What do you know about Peter that helps you understand 1 and 2 Peter?

How should we, individually, respond to persecution? No response; silence (Jesus?) Accept punishment gladly Passivity Pacifism Speak in self-defense (Stephen?) File suit back? Appeal? (Paul?) Affect community change to result? Middle Ground? Resist subversively (Rahab?) Resist violently – fighting against “evil” (Elijah?) Activism

Persecution Givens: Don’t be surprised. Don’t let it be because you’re an idiot. Or sinful. Don’t quit. Don’t be a martyr… Do trust God.

2 Peter: Are we there yet?? The Christian Graces (1637) – Faith – Goodness – Knowledge – Self-Control – Perseverance – Godliness – Brotherly Kindness – Love With? Not ineffective Not unproductive Without? Nearsighted, blind, forgotten forgiveness! Therefore, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

The End is Coming. Really. We’ve been singing “Jesus is Coming Soon” since 1942: before the end of World War 2. We’ve sung “Soon and Very Soon” for almost a decade longer than I’ve been alive. We’ve read “Yes, I am coming soon” from Revelation 22:20 at least since AD 90. How much longer? Maranatha! (1 Cor 16:22)

Revelation Matthew’s Principles: Revelation = Apocalypse = Unveiling Occam’s Razor Understand what we can. Just stinkin’ read it! Technically, the book’s name is Revelation. Please don’t call it RevelationS—because it annoys me.

Revelation Written either 69-70AD or 90-94AD by John the Apostle while exiled in Patmos. Designed to be relevant to the original hearers…like the rest of scripture!

Extremes Obsessive Left Behind Is this the end? Is this? How bout this? Dismissive Ingersoll: “the insanest of all books.” Jefferson: totally omitted “the ravings of a maniac” Luther: “an offensive piece of work” Calvin: grave doubts about value God’s patience is for man’s good!

Hebrews Author: Paul, (Luke Translated or Barnabas wrote), Apollos, Philip, Priscilla and Aquila, James Hinkle…? There’s something better (more, greater = 25x) Encouragement: there’s something that is really worth hanging on to! Don’t quit!

1-3 John: Love and Light and Life Love God. Love your brother, or you don’t love God. If you love the world, you don’t love God. If you love God, you don’t love sin. If you love sin, you don’t love God. Any questions?

Revelation “Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.” (Rev. 1:3 ESV)

Seven Benedictions Blessed is the one who reads aloud, hears, and keeps (1:3) Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord (14:13) Blessed is the one who stays awake, ready (16:15) Blessed are those invited to the Lamb’s marriage supper (19:9) Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the 1 st resurrection (20:6) Blessed is the one who keeps the words of this prophecy (22:7) Blessed are those who was their robes (22:14)

Matthew disagrees with this slide!

Four Approaches to Revelation Summary of Four Views on Revelation Thomas Nelson Publishers, Nelson's Complete Book of Bible Maps & Charts : Old and New Testaments., Rev. and updated ed. (Nashville, Tenn.: Thomas Nelson, 1996).

Millennialism? The “thousand year reign” referred to in Revelation 20:1-6 Premillennialism Postmillennialism Amillennialism I’m-making-up-new-words-millennialism- oscity-ness-ly

Postmillenialism The world is getting better, for a literal or figurative thousand year reign before Christ returns.

Premillennialism Most common (still not my belief), but with many variants: (pre-tribulational and post- tribulational views) Church will be raptured prior to great year tribulation, then 1000-year earthly reign in Jerusalem, followed by futile revolt, then final judgment and eternal reign. “Futurist” reading of Revelation More exciting doctrine. ;-)

Premillennialism

The Rapture When we’ll be called up to Christ…meet him in the air, etc etc. Yes, we believe in it. Rapio = Seized (1 Thess. 4:13-18, etc.) The question is it’s timing. – We will all be caught up together, I believe.

Amillennialism God reigns through his church already (Acts 2:33-36) and Israel and the Church are already united in that kingdom. The reign is figurative, and is now. (Idealist, preterist, and historicist)
