1 SERIES: What's Next? MESSAGE: What's Next? SPEAKER: Skip Heitzig SCRIPTURE: Revelatin 1 MESSAGE SUMMARY Peple have always been fascinated with the future and what's next. As we study prphecy, we can't help but wnder if current events play int an end-times scenari. The bk f Revelatin is Jhn's written accunt f the spiritual revelatin he received frm Gd abut the future return and reign f Christ. As Pastr Skips examines Revelatin 1, he encurages us t lk at the future with faith and hpe. STUDY GUIDE Cnnect Grup Recap: January 10, 2016 Speaker: Skip Heitzig Teaching: "What's Next?" Text: Revelatin 1 Path Peple are fascinated by the future. The ancients sught mens and peple tday pen hrscpes and read palms. But nly Gd knws the future. Pastr Skip began a new series thrugh the bk f Revelatin a wrk by the apstle Jhn, revealing what's next in Gd's timeline f future events. Here is his utline f Revelatin 1: Pints I. This Bk Predicts the Future (v. 3) II. This Bk Prmises a Blessing (v. 3) III. This Bk Prtrays a Persn (v. 1) IV. This Bk Prduces a Respnse (v. 17) This Bk Predicts the Future (v. 3): The bk f Revelatin is a bk f prphecies. It predicts future events, giving mre detail abut Jesus' return than any ther bk in the Bible. It amplifies in great detail the seven-year tribulatin, the Antichrist, the rapture, the secnd cming f Christ, and ur eternal state. Prphecy shws Gd's mniscience: He knws all things, frm beginning t end. Prbe: Pastr Skip mentined that sme peple are afraid f r dn't like prphecy. What was yur attitude twards prphecy befre cming t Christ? Why is prphecy imprtant fr demnstrating the reliability and trustwrthiness f Scripture? What's Next? - Revelatin 1 SkipHeitzig.cm/3953 Page 1

2 This Bk Prmises a Blessing (v. 3): The bk f Revelatin is the nly bk in the Bible that attaches a specific blessing t its reading and study (see Revelatin 22:7). By nt reading r trying t understand it, yu are rbbing yurself f jy. Even with all the pain and destructin detailed in the bk, jy is t be fund. Why? Satan lses; Gd wins. Prbe: Why d yu think Gd's peple are blessed when they read, understand, and keep the bk f Revelatin? What perspective d we gain frm reading it t the end? What prmises and cmfrt d we find? The Bk Prtrays a Persn (v. 1): Cntrary t ppular Prtestant leaders such as Martin Luther and Jhn Calvin wh felt that the bk f Revelatin had a lw view f Christ Revelatin puts Jesus at the center f histry, bth past and future. The Greek wrd fr revelatin is apcalupsis, which means an uncvering r unveiling. The revelatin is nt s much frm Jesus as it is abut Jesus: Chapter 1-3: Jesus superintends and evaluates His church as exalted, priestly King. Chapter 4-5: Jesus is seen in heaven as the glrified Lamb f Gd and Lin f Judah. Chapter 6-18: Jesus will be the judge f all the earth. Chapter 19: Jesus will return as King f Kings. Chapter 20: Jesus will reign n earth as bridegrm with His bride, the church. Chapter 21-22: Jesus will illuminate the eternal state and New Jerusalem. Prbe: Using the nly physical descriptin the Bible gives f Jesus (see vv ), cmpare and cntrast Jesus' first time n earth (humbling Himself) t the secnd time (His millennial reign). What differences and similarities d yu see? The Bk Prduces a Respnse (v. 17): As Jesus is revealed in this bk, ne f ur main respnses shuld be wrship. As we read and heed the truths presented, we will learn t trust mre in Jesus. Prbe: Pastr Skip reminded us that every tmrrw has tw handles: ne f fear and ne f faith. Read vv. 5-6 and Hw des the visin f Jesus prduce faith, giving us cnfidence in Gd's plan and purpses fr the future? Practice Cnnect Up: Read Jude 1:17-18 in the ESV. Hw can prphecy draw yu clser t Gd? What des fulfilled prphecy tell yu abut Gd's prmises and purpses in the wrld? Cnnect In: Read 2 Timthy 3:16. Hw des prphecy help build and guide the bdy f Christ? Cnnect Out: Read 1 Peter 4:11 and 1 Crinthians 14:1-3. Hw can prphecy help yu witness t a weary wrld? Discuss ways yu can use the prmises f prphecy t evangelize and explain the gspel.
