Book of Revelation 2020 Video Series Thumbdrive, English Kong Hee

How do we make sense of life and how should we navigate through a broken-down world like ours? The Book of Revelation is our key to understanding how to live in the end times. This fascinating book explores the ongoing battle between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness in this present evil age, and how history will end when Jesus returns to this world in power and glory.

Revelation 1:3 says, “Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.” The Book of Revelation is the only book in the Bible that promises a special blessing for those who read and study it. As we spend time studying this book, may we experience that special blessing that Jesus has promised!

Jesus is coming back soon. The Parousia is near! He who has an ear, let him hear what the Holy Spirit is saying today!

SYNOPSIS FOR THE 9 PARTS

PART 1 – The Unveiling to the Seven Churches

00 Introduction

01 Lesson 1: Revelation of Jesus (Rev 1)

02 Lesson 2: Message to the Church of Ephesus (Rev 1-2)

03 Lesson 3: The Suffering Church (Rev 2)

04 Lesson 4: The Churches of Pergamos & Thyatira (Rev 2)

05 Lesson 5: The Churches of Sardis, Philadelphia & Laodicea (Rev 3)

Synopsis for Part 1

In this first part of the Bible study series, Pastor Kong Hee delves into the words of Jesus to the seven churches found in Revelation 1-3. Although these letters were specifically addressed to the churches of Asia Minor in the first centuries, they are powerful messages meant for all believers everywhere, in every generation.

PART 2 – The Study of End Times & the 1,000-year Reign of Christ

06 Lesson 6: Eschatology

07 Lesson 7: Millennialism

Synopsis for Part 2

In the previous part, Pastor Kong Hee teaches on the first vision that the apostle John saw in heaven (Rev 1-3). As a momentary break from the study of the Book of Revelation, he now gets into the very important doctrine of Eschatology (end-time events), looking into some major eschatological components like God’s plan as we inch closer to the end of time, the Antichrist, the abomination of desolation, the temple of Jerusalem, the Great Tribulation, the rapture, and the millennial reign of Christ. Understanding the eschatological views and the millennium doctrine will give us a clearer understanding of the entire Book of Revelation.

PART 3 – John in Heaven, the Opening of the Seven Seals & the Two Witnesses

08 Lesson 8: John in Heaven (Rev 4-5)

09 Lesson 9: The First to Fifth Seal (Rev 6)

10 Lesson 10: The Sixth Seal (Rev 6)

11 Lesson 11: The 144,000 (Rev 7)

12 Lesson 12: The Wrath of God (Rev 8-11, 15-16)

13 Lesson 13: The Two Witnesses (Rev 10-11)

Synopsis for Part 3

The Book of Revelation is a collection of four visions given to the apostle John on the island of Patmos. In Part 1, we have studied the first vision (Rev 1-3). After Jesus finished speaking to the seven churches, John received the second vision through a supernatural encounter in which he was taken to heaven “in the spirit” (4:2). In this part of the album, Pastor Kong Hee unpacks the “seven seals”, and also teaches on the “144,000”, “the great day of [God’s] wrath”, and the “two witnesses”. This exciting part will enable us to see how current world events are possibly playing out as the Bible has predicted.

PART 4 – Martyrs at Heart

14 Lesson 14: Why is Pretribulationism Unsound?

Synopsis for Part 4

In this part, Pastor Kong Hee deals with the topic of pretribulationism, and explains why it is not a sound doctrine. The underlying danger of pretribulationism is that those who embrace it will not be prepared to face the hardships of life, but be lulled into a false complacency. Through this teaching, may we find the courage to be “martyrs at heart”, living boldly for Christ and the gospel, and ever prepared for the sufferings and persecution of this present evil age.

PART 5 – The Church, the Martyrs, the Antichrist & the False Prophet

15 Lesson 15: The Woman & Male Child (Rev 12)

16 Lesson 16: The Antichrist & False Prophet (Rev 13, 17)

Synopsis for Part 5

Who is “the woman” in Revelation 12? Who does the “male child” refer to? What about “the Antichrist” and the “false prophet”? Over these two lessons, we will study these four characters mentioned in Revelation, and at the same time, Pastor Kong Hee will also be teaching us important doctrines like justification and sanctification, which are very important for believers to have a clear understanding on.

PART 6 – Are We Calvinists or Arminians?

17 Lesson 17: The Doctrine of Predestination (Part 1)

18 Lesson 18: The Doctrine of Predestination (Part 2)

Synopsis for Part 6

Pastor Kong Hee teaches on the doctrine of predestination, and explores the two opposing views on this doctrine, popularly known as Arminianism versus Calvinism.

PART 7 – Are You a Citizen of Mystery Babylon?

19 Lesson 19: The Two Harvests (Rev 14)

20 Lesson 20: Mystery Babylon (Rev 17-18)

Synopsis for Part 7

What are the “two harvests” in Revelation 14? Which harvest will we be a part of? What about Mystery Babylon? Is it a literal Babylon, or does it refer to the spirit of the world? Do we belong to Mystery Babylon or are we citizens of the New Jerusalem? By the end of these lessons, may we decide that while we are in the world, we will not be of the world!

PART 8 – Living with the New Heaven & New Earth in Mind

21 Lesson 21: The Marriage Supper of the Lamb & The Millennium (Rev 19-20)

22 Lesson 22: The New Heaven & New Earth (Rev 21-22)

Synopsis for Part 8

The Book of Revelation ends with great hope for the believer! As we study chapters 19 to 22 of the Book of Revelation, we will be filled with a sense of expectation for that day when we join in the celebration of the “marriage supper of the Lamb”, and when we are forever united with Jesus in “a new heaven and new earth”. What a day of rejoicing that will be! “Five minutes” after we die, we will realise that all the wealth, fame, and applause of this world mean absolutely nothing. “Five minutes” after we die, we will see with eternity’s clarity – we will know exactly how we should have lived. However, Pastor Kong Hee exhorts us to not wait until we die to know how we should live. God has given us the Book of Revelation to show us how we should live. Between now and the time we finally meet Jesus face to face, we must live ready for His return!

23 Lesson 23: Questions & Answers
