Revelation 1:10-17

January 7, 2021

Someday, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, the Lord Jesus Himself will descend from heaven and with a voice that sounds like a war trumpet call His church from the earth to be with Him forever. Until that moment, Jesus is before God’s throne as our advocate, our Great High Priest. Come learn more from this passage Dr. McGee called “one of the most thrilling sections in the Word of God.”

Galatians Bible Companion
Get ready to fight the good fight against legalism in Galatians. When this letter was written, it defended the gospel of Christ from people who wanted to reduce it to rules. Not surprising, Galatians has provided the backbone for several great spiritual revivals around the world. Freedom, we learn, is a serious fight. Allow grace to revolutionize your own life through these seven lessons from Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

Want to read and understand the book of Revelation? Then you’ll be blessed! According to what we’ll study in these first verses, “blessed are those who read or teach and those that hear.” A three-fold blessing comes from reading, hearing, and keeping what you learn now from this magnificent book. And to find out what’s so special about the number seven—dive in!

The title of the book of “Revelation” (singular) points to a singular event: The uncovering, unveiling, or revelation of Jesus Christ. We met Jesus in the Gospels when He took on skin, but the Gospels only tell half the story. The book of Revelation completes the picture. Right here at the start, ask the Spirit to teach you what only He can explain.

“The book of Revelation is one of the most organized books in the Bible. It divides itself,” says Dr. J. Vernon McGee, our teacher. If you’ve tried to read Revelation but got confused by all the symbols, then come along for a carefully choreographed dance through the pages that describe how God brings everything to completion.

We live in difficult times that seem to have no solutions. But when it looks like the evil in this world is going to win, we can read this last book of the Bible and know everything is going to work out. But isn’t Revelation full of frightening events and pictures? Yes, but we’ll learn in this amazing study why we can put our confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ. (Hint: He wins.) Stay till the end.

The Sun of Righteousness in the Old Testament is also the Bright and Morning Star of the New Testament. Of course, that Star is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ—the focus and the “star” of the entire Word of God. This concluding study of Malachi examines God’s final words to Israel before a period of silence lasting 400 years.

Do you have a guest book for visitors in your home? Or do you use one for special events like weddings and parties? God also keeps a “book of remembrance,” and we’re included. Malachi tells us more about this book as he leads us into his important prophecy regarding the Day of the Lord and the Sun of Righteousness.

Malachi’s discussion of tithing continues as we explore the important connection between giving, fellowship, and worship. Will Israel heed these warnings? Will we?

The people are robbing God of tithes and offerings, so God’s rebuke of Israel (through the prophet Malachi) continues.  Join us as Malachi focuses on the uncomfortable subject of giving, and hear more about tithing under the Mosaic legal system and how it relates to us today. The answers may surprise you.

Malachi has spoken in depth about Israel’s social sins; next he addresses their idolatry, fascination with the occult, lying, and idol worship. Dr. McGee calls these “religious sins.” As the story unfolds, God attempts to detour Israel from destruction while the people continue to ask Him sarcastic questions and avoid repentance.

About Dr. J. Vernon McGee

John Vernon McGee was born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. Dr. McGee remarked, "When I was born and the doctor gave me the customary whack, my mother said that I let out a yell that could be heard on all four borders of Texas!" His Creator well knew that he would need a powerful voice to deliver a powerful message.

After completing his education (including a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary), he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, California. Dr. McGee's greatest pastorate was at the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles, where he served from 1949 to 1970.

He began teaching Thru the Bible in 1967. After retiring from the pastorate, he set up radio headquarters in Pasadena, and the radio ministry expanded rapidly. Listeners never seem to tire of Dr. J. Vernon McGee's unique brand of rubber-meets-the-road teaching, or his passion for teaching the whole Word of God.

On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. McGee fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior.
