Reflections On Revelation: Part Ii - The Seven Seals

This is the second book in a three-part study of the book of Revelation. Part I covered the first three chapters of Revelation, Jesus and the seven churches. It included good salvation theology and teaching about how we can live as individuals as well as the way the Church really should be. Part I may be the easier portion of Revelation to study because there is so much practical application without as much need to analyze symbols and what is happening. Part II enters into the second portion of the book of Revelation that few people study because there are many symbols and varied views of how to interpret them. Part II covers John's vision of heaven with the glory of God followed by the opening of the seven seals of the scroll resulting in much destruction on the earth. It ends with chapter 14, just before the seven angels pour out the seven bowls of God's wrath. This book includes another thirteen lessons for one quarter of study. It will cover Revelation 4 through Revelation 14 concluding with the harvesting of the earth. About the Author Ray Ruppert and his wife Terri have been life group (home Bible studies) leaders at Canyon Hills Community Church in Bothell, WA for nineteen years. They are currently serving as flock leader for four life groups. For several years, Ray has been writing questions for the church's life groups. The questions are based on the sermons at CHCC. Ray has a MA in theological studies from Liberty University. He has been a long time student of prophecy since becoming a Christian in 1974. Forward by Dr. Dwaine Braddy - Retired professor of Bible and Pastoral Ministries for 26 years at Northwest University, Kirkland, Washington. Mr. Ruppert has produced an effective study of the Book of Revelation as his use of questions followed by answers engage the student or group studying Revelation. He emphasizes the key principle of what the text meant THEN before what it means NOW, which I believe are crucial to understanding Revelation. The outline he used for the messages to the 7 churches is the same as I used when I taught Revelation at Northwest University. While I did not do an exhaustive evaluation of his studies, his interpretation corresponds to mine in areas such as the first seal in chapter 6 and the two witnesses in chapter 11. I commend Mr. Ruppert for the research, time and I'm sure, prayer that he has put into these three study guides, which I believe can lead one, whether a new believer or an "old-timer" in the faith like me, to desire to study this book that deals with lessons for today's church and events leading up to Christ's 2nd Coming, God's final Judgments, and the New Heavens and the New Earth! If he is able to present this class at our church, I for one would attend it. Shalom good friend and Maranatha, even so come LORD Jesus!
