Revelation by James Rochford (2024)

For years, Hollywood has been producing movies about the end of the world. If only we could know what the future holds for us!  Fortunately, God has informed us of what the future holds for humanity.  He tells us in the book of Revelation.

In Chapter Two of Revelation, Jesus speaks to the church in Ephesus and challenges them to stop drifting from a lifestyle of love.  He calls them to remember, repent and to repeat.

James Rochford discusses the rescue of the church from the coming Tribulation period.  He argues that the rescue, or Rapture as it is known, will occur prior to the Tribulation.  God does not want anyone to live through this period and since He could return at anytime, are you 100% sure you are ready to meet Him?

Because the church in Laodicea was wealthy, they were deceived into thinking they had no needs, but Jesus rebukes them for putting their trust in materialism instead of Him.  

What right does God have to rule? He has the right to rule because Jesus is the only perfect ruler, He created and owns the world, and He gave His life for the world.

James Rochford unpacks the identity of the four horsemen unleased at the breaking of the Seal judgments.  They are identified as the Antichrist, warfare, economic collapse and disease and pandemics.

If the events of the Tribulation and all the incredible predictions are hard to believe, then consider how impossible it was to believe the nation of Israel would one day come back into existence in its own land. We can trust what the Bible says about the future because God has already fulfilled incredible predictions in the past.

The Apostle John describes the first four Trumpet judgments to befall the earth and its inhabitants during the seven year period of the Tribulation.

In this portion of Revelation, John describes demons who are permitted to torment humans, an army of 200 million people going to war and this army marching across the dried up bed of the Euphrates River toward Israel.
