Revelation 6:1

January 28, 2021

Revelation 6 is a dividing line in the book of Revelation. Now we see what’s going on back on earth without the Church (now with Jesus in heaven). The drama continues as the Great Tribulation unfolds in orderly progression—seals, trumpets, bowls of wrath, judgement, ending the Tribulation. Then comes Jesus Christ to earth for the second time to execute God’s will. You won’t want to miss one thing.

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.

Have you ever thought about just what you’ll be doing in heaven? You won’t be bored, that’s for sure. In this study of Revelation 4 we get a look into the throne room of heaven and catch a glimpse at some of the ways we’ll spend our time in God’s presence. We’ll hear about the first great worship scene in heaven—and about four living creatures, 24 elders, and a book with seven seals.

Now in our continuing study of Revelation, the scene shifts from earth to heaven. Jesus is central, directing all events as the Lamb who died for the sins of the world; He is now the Judge at the throne of God. Only the Holy Spirit could describe what we read about heaven in this passage. Get ready for awesome things.

In this, the final study in the seven churches of Revelation, invite the Holy Spirit to teach you this special message from the Lord Jesus to all the churches. Enjoy the picture of fellowship as the Lord Jesus knocks at the heart’s door of the sinner. If you open the door to let Him in, “I will come in and dine with him.” Come feed on the Word of God and get to know Christ better.

The church at Laodicea was rich and in a rich city. Money was important to them. They were self sufficient. Worldly wealth was their measuring rod for success while spiritual values were ignored. Find out how Jesus described them (it’s not pretty) and take to heart His charge to turn back to Him and get on fire for God.

An onsite visit to the church in Laodicea explains why Jesus had only condemnation for this church. “Lukewarm” described their water system and their compromised devotion of Him. How could they be so half-hearted towards Jesus, the Alpha and Omega, the Faithful Witness, the Amen Himself? Listen with your whole heart to discover how not to lose your fervor for God.

In this study of Revelation 3, Dr. J. Vernon McGee tells us about a church that was true to the Word of God. The church of Philadelphia represents all churches the world over that remain true to preaching and living out God’s Word. Dr. McGee loved one verse in this passage so much it became Thru the Bible’s theme verse.

If you visited the church of Sardis in the first century, you could only get in the city by one entrance. The city itself was on the top of a mountain, secure unless the guards fell asleep. To this church, the Lord says, “Wake up and watch out! Don't you go to sleep!” If you feel a little drowsy, dive into this study of Revelation 3 with Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

The letter to the church in Thyatira was a warning. Jesus is judging His church. He is pictured with eyes like fire, searching them out. His feet are like burnished brass, representing judgment. But Jesus also commended them for their love for Him and how it prompted works of service, faith, patience, and endurance—all produced by the Holy Spirit. A practical study from Dr. J. Vernon McGee on this fifth church of Revelation.

Did you know Satan has a base of operations on earth? Jesus revealed through the apostle John where Satan’s headquarters were in the early days of the church in this study in Revelation 2-3. Dr. J. Vernon McGee reminds us today that even though Satan is loose and ruling like the prince of this world, Jesus promised He was greater than any spiritual enemy. We know who wins.

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.
