Each of these visions show various details of what the Kingdom will be like. They also show the different jobs that the righteous will get to do as we prepare for the Kingdom and as we enjoy being in the Kingdom.

Second Kingdom Vision The Throne in Heaven Revelation 4 & 5 In this vision, we once again have the Son of Man, even the Lord Jesus Christ. This time, he is foreseen as sitting on the throne in glory. The nations are at peace and the Saints in Christ surround him. There is a scroll in this vision which has seven seals and as each seal is broken, more of the details are shown. Vv. 1-5 The twenty-four Elders 31.What did Christ show John? 32.What did John see while he was in the spirit? 33.What was around the throne? 34. The elders that were sitting and clothed in white raiment with crowns of gold on their head, represent a special group of people.

The faces listed there were the lion, the ox, the man and the eagle. In addition, according to Isaiah 6, the 6 winged creature was part of the seraphim who also stated the phrase holy, holy, holy. In this picture in Revelation then, we have not only the angels, but also a picture of the glorified and perfected saints of God. These people are redeemed and set aside to inherit places in the Kingdom of God which will be soon set up on this earth. 40. Where else in the Bible does it talk about these four faces?

Vv. 10-11 Worshipping the Lord who sits on the Throne 44.What happens when the beast gives glory & honor to him that sits on the throne? Rev. 5:1-4 Who Can Open the Scroll THE 11 TH VERSE OF THIS CHAPTER IS A WONDERFUL VERSE TO DISCUSS AN IDEA WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT BE FAMILIAR TO YOU: GOD MANIFESTATION. GOD HAS CHOSEN EACH OF US TO TAKE ON HIS NAME AND TO LIVE BY HIS WORD. IF WE ARE ABLE TO DO THAT, THEN WE ARE CHOOSING TO REFLECT OR MANIFEST HIM. THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF GOD MANIFESTATION IS THE LORD JESUS CHRIST BECAUSE HE LIVED A PERFECT LIFE AND SHOWED GOD S WILL WITH EVERYTHING THAT HE SAID AND DID. BECAUSE CHRIST WAS PERFECT, THERE ARE MANY PHRASES IN THE BIBLE THAT SEEM LIKE THEY COULD BOTH BE REFERRING TO CHRIST OR GOD. IN VERSE 11, IT SAYS FOR THOU HAST CREATED ALL THINGS AND FOR THY PLEASURE THEY ARE AND WERE CREATED. THIS IS NOT SAYING THAT GOD CREATED ALL THINGS, BUT RATHER, THAT ALL OF CREATION WAS DONE BECAUSE OF THIS IDEA THAT GOD WANTS A PEOPLE WHO WILL MANIFEST HIM, GLORIFYING HIM AT ALL TIMES. THE FACT THAT IT IS FOR CHRIST S PLEASURE THAT ALL THINGS WERE CREATED IS TRUE BECAUSE IT IS GOD S WILL THAT CHRIST AND ALL OF THE RIGHTEOUS SAINTS (THOSE WHO HAVE MIRRORED GOD TO THE BEST OF THEIR ABILITY - THOSE WHO HAVE MANIFESTED GOD), GET TO ENJOY THE EARTH THAT WAS CREATED BY OUR HEAVENLY FATHER. 45.What was in the right hand of him that sat on the throne and what was it sealed with? 46.What did the angel proclaim with a loud voice? 47.Who was not able to open the book or to even look on it? 48.

It is commonly known that the Lamb represents the Lord Jesus Christ. In the 6 th verse, we read of the lamb after having been slain, which is Christ after his crucifixion and resurrection. It reads that he had 7 horns and 7 eyes. We have already looked at the fact that the number 7 represents perfection. So what are the horns and eyes? Horns in scripture represent power and eyes represent vision and knowledge. Therefore, the resurrected lamb has perfect power and perfect knowledge. More common terms used for this are omnipotence and omniscience. The lamb with 7 horns & 7 eyes represents the Multitudinous Christ, which is made up of the Lord Jesus Christ and all those who are redeemed (the glorified Saints).

The second vial took place in 1798 when Britain used their fleet to take over Napoleon, the French Commander, causing his army to be isolated in Europe and to lose ground in the Middle East.

Use a concordance to look up the word Megiddo and list at least one of the passages in the Bible and who was involved in that battle. 254. The sixth vial takes place between 1820-the return of Chrust. It started with Turkey being weakened to the point that its size was very limited. During this time period, religious freedom was once again allowed. This freedom allowed for the founder of the Christadelphians, Brother John Thomas, to instruct others and eventually create the name Christadelphian in 1864. We do not know the end date of this vial, but we do know that it will be soon. With various wars caused by false doctrines and wicked intentions, the time will come soon when Christ and the Saints will go to war against the wicked armies of men in a battle that is known as Armageddon. Reference: Revelation 16:12 Marginal Note: To watch and keep our garments means to guard and stand up for the Truth as we are told to do in Gods word. The garments that we are to keep on are ones of righteousness, which is shown through our words and our actions. If we are naked it means we have taken the righteousness off and instead are choosing to do things that are against the will of God. 6th vial: 1820-the return of Christ - Turkey weakened, religious freedom allowed Vv. 17-21 Seventh Vial Victory Over the Nations 255.What did the voice say from the temple of heaven when the 7th vial was poured out into the air?

Pagan Rome and Her Wickedness Revelation 17 In the Bible there are two types of women - a righteous woman and a wicked woman. The righteous woman describes the ecclesia of the saints. The wicked woman, is called a whore in Revelation, and describes the churches that go against God. Instead of following Him, they come up with their own religions and do not follow the Truth as described in the Bible. In Revelation, the religion that is called the whore is Roman Catholicism. This is because Catholicism has turned a great deal of people away from learning the Truth, and instead taught a false religion that is against the will of God.

What is different about the beast in verse 11? _ The beast that is the eighth and is of the seven is a nation that was different because it started out under rulership that was against the Catholics. There was only a short time period that this happened though because the Gothics (a ruling nation) soon decided to follow after the Roman Catholic Religion once again. Therefore, this rulership is of the seven and goes into perdition. Marginal Note: wonder: to admire or to think highly of It is known that the city that sits on seven mountains is the city of Rome. Therefore we once again have the Roman Catholics presented as part of this latter day period where Christ and the Saints will have to overcome the beast and the Great Whore. 277.What do the ten horns represent? _ 278.What do these kings have together? 279.When they make war with the Lamb, who will win?

California Christadelphian Kids Camp Junior Workbook 2014 41
Verses 6-7 show that Babylon the Great (or rather the Roman Catholic Powers) would get their just rewards.

Vv. 20-24 Babylon is thrown down 309.What three groups would rejoice because Babylon the Great is destroyed? 1 hour is mentioned 3 times in this chapter. It is not talking about 1 actual hour in time. Instead, when it says 1 hour, it is saying that the city was destroyed very quickly. 310. If heaven is one of the three groups that rejoiced because the city was destroyed, is this talking about a group of people or is it actually talking about heaven? Explain why you chose your answer. 311.What did the mighty angel cast into the sea? 312.How would that great city Babylon be thrown down? 313.Would Babylon be found anymore after this time? 314.Where was the blood of the prophets and of the saints found? 315.What else was found in her?

Here, the remnant that is slain by Christ and the Saints are the wicked people who have chosen to follow after the false religions of the world. California Christadelphian Kids Camp Junior Workbook 2014 47
Chapter 20:1-6 Satan is Bound 353.What did the angel coming down from heaven have in his hand?

At judgment, there are two books that will be used to judge those that know the truth and are responsible. The 1st book has each person s works written in it. If there are good things written about you in the book of works it is because you have tried to be obedient to God by following the Bible. If this is the case, then your name will also be in the 2nd book, the book of life. If you just try to make yourself happy and do things for yourself instead of for God, then your name will not be found in the book of life. 372.What two books were the dead judged out of? 373.How was every man judged? 374.What is the second death? 375.Who else besides death and hell were cast into the lake of fire?

New Jerusalem California Christadelphian Kids Camp Junior Workbook 2014 50
Vv. 9-11 The Description of the Bride It is interesting that John was told he would see the lamb s wife, and yet he was shown the city Jerusalem. This is because the holy city is the lamb s wife. In the next few verses we have Jerusalem explained as a symbol of what the bride of Christ will be. The lessons we can learn from the description of the city teach us how to live our lives as we wait for the return of Christ to set up the Kingdom on this earth. 388.Who came unto John? _ 389.What was the angel going to show John? 390.What was John shown when he was carried away in the spirit?

Nothing that is wicked can enter this city. The same goes for us.
