EPISTLES OF THE NEW TESTAMENT
REVELATION
Reassurance: God's Plan and Promises
SEVENTH TRUMPET OF NEW
TESTAMENT
JUDAISM GIVES BIRTH TO CHRISTIANITY
12:1-2 This
woman clothed with the sun, the moon under her feet, and with a crown of 12
stars:
Ezekiel
16:1-42 tells of God's love affair with the Israelites/Jews, starting in their
infancy until he made them his bride.
In 16:8 he said, "I covered your nakedness...and you became
___________________________. In 16:10
he said, "I _____________________________ you with embroidered dress...in
fine ______________________________.
In
Hosea 2:19, God said to Israel, "I will ____________________________ you
to me forever...in _________________________________,
____________________________, ________________________________,
________________________________________.
In
Isaiah 54:5-6, God said, "For your _________________________________ is
your _______________________________ ....The Lord will call you back as if you
were a _________________________.
Thinking
in terms of the Jewish age (12 tribes of Israel) and the Christian age (12
apostles), it seems here that which age is giving birth to which age?
_______________________________________________________________________________
12:3 This
occurred at the time of the beast with ten horns exactly when Daniel had
predicted it would happen years earlier.
A son was born to rule all nations - the Son of God. Daniel 7:23 says this is the fourth kingdom
from the time of Babylon that will rule (devour) the world.
12:5-6 These
two verses occurred simultaneously.
Jesus' ministry lasted 1260 days, 3-1/2 years. During that time, Jesus preached in relative peace from the
Romans. Then came the crucifixion, but
rather than destroy him, he was "snatched up to his ___________________
(12:5)." The Jews, too, had
relative peace from the Romans during how many days? ______________________________
12:7 Verse
12:3 identifies the red dragon with ten horns being the Romans. But during that same time there was
________________________ in heaven.
Michael fought the dragon, which now is identified as who? _________________
12:9 What
happened on earth at the end of that 3-1/2 years regarding Satan, the prince of
this world (see John 12:31-32)? _____________________
______________________________________________________________________________
12:10-11 Satan is called the
________________________ of the brethren, but he was overcome by the
______________________ of the lamb who became our forgiver.
12:14 Again
it is repeated that the woman, the mother of Christianity, was protected for a
time (a year), times (2 years) and half a time (1/2 year) = 3-1/2 years.
12:17 This
woman later had other offspring - those who _____________________ God's
_________________________________ ~ Christians.
DURING THE TIME OF ROME AS PREDICTED
13:1,4 The
beast of the sea is identical to the dragon, though made by the dragon. The dragon with ten horns (12:3) is the same
as the dragon identified as Satan (12:9); therefore the beast of the sea with
ten horns is identical. This would lead
us to understand that those worshipping Roman Caesars as god at that time were
actually worshiping who?
__________________
13:8-10 Inhabitants of the earth will worship the
____________________ (Rome) but do not have their names in the book of ____________
______________________________________.
But the saints (end of verse 10) are to be willing to go into
_____________________ (prison) or be ___________________________ to keep their
names in that book.
DURING THE TIME OF PAGANISM'S HEIGHT
13:11,14 Yet another beast that seemed peaceful
like a _________________________ but spoke like a ___________________________
ordered people to ________________________________ the beast, and even set up
an _________________________ in is honor.
This indicates that the pagan priests endorsed worship of Caesar as god.
13:18 Look
at the chart on symbolism of numbers.
What does 6 mean?
______________________________________
How does Romans 3:23 define sin?
_________________________________________________________________________________ Therefore we have 6 mentioned three
times. Three means what? _______________________. Therefore, we have sin passing itself off as
God.
GOOD JEWS OF O.T. ASSURED OF SALVATION
14:1 Jesus
wants to include all good Jews in his plan.
If they're among those who have been _________________________________
from the earth (v. 4), they will be one of the 144,000 safe on Mount Zion. Again, according to the chart on numbers,
what does the 144,000 mean (12 x 12 x 1000)?
__________________________________________________________________________________________
14:7-8 When
the hour of judgment comes, who will fall?
_________________________________________________ They've been discussing the Roman Empire,
but when it falls, paganism will fall and paganism is represented. Babylon did fall after the Jews were freed
to return to their Promised Land (a form of heaven). This is a quote from Isaiah 21:9: "Look, here comes a man in a chariot...and he gives back the
answer:
__________________________________________________________!" Indeed, Daniel 5:2, 30-21 says the king of
Babylon was slain and Darius the _____________________ took over the kingdom. Media was later called Persia.
14:12 Another
reminder. Stick with it. Your tormentors will be tormented some
day. So, the saints must have patient
____________________________.
14:15 Jesus
said at the beginning of his ministry in John 4:35-36, "Look at the
fields! They are ripe for harvest. Even now the _____________________ ...harvests
the crop for eternal life."
14:19-20 Those thrown into the winepress of God's
wrath for tormenting his children on earth shed blood 1600 stadia. The form of measurement itself doesn't
matter. The key is the number. According to the chart explaining numbers,
what would 1600 mean (think 4 x 4 x 100)? ______________

JESUS’ TRIUMPHAL ENTRY INTO JERUSALEM
15:3 When
Jesus entered Jerusalem and the people tried to make him king, the whole crowd
of disciples began joyfully to ___________________________ God in loud
voices" (Luke 19:37). The saved
sang the song of what two "men"?
___________________________________________________ They represented the saved of which two
eras?
_____________________________________________________________
CRUCIFIXION
15:5 Hebrews
9:11-12 says that on the cross Jesus entered the more perfect

Since the temple is in heaven, should we try to
rebuild the temple on earth?
______________ In your opinion,
why? ______________________
