Revelation 12 june 24 2012 sermon slides
“Apocalyptic literature is a
special kind of writing that
arose among Jews and
Christians to reveal certain
mysteries about heaven
and earth, humanity and
God, angels and demons,
the life of the world today,
and the world to come.”
Apocalyptic literature
“reveals” these mysteries
   through the use of
   visions and highly
  symbolic language.
Our Guiding Principle

       Don’t miss the forest
        for the trees! Let’s
        not get lost in the
       details and therefore
         miss the message
         Jesus has for us!
Chp. 1     Chp. 2-3             Chps. 4-22


  “Things
   which    “Things
                        “Things which will take place”
 you have    which
   seen”      are”


  Vision of Christ        Vision of Consummation

If the world hates you, know that it
has hated me before it hated you. If
you were of the world, the world
would love you as its own; but
because you are not of the world, but
I chose you out of the world,
therefore the world hates you.
John 15:20
Remember the word that I said to
you: ‘A servant is not greater than his
master.’ If they persecuted me, they
will also persecute you.
2. We should expect persecution …
   if we are living for Jesus Christ!
