Todd and Tyler continue in the Book of Revelation, with chapters 6 and 7. We cover the Seven Seals, the Four Horsemen, the 144,000 sealed of Israel, and the multitude from the great tribulation. Concluding with the opening of the seventh seal.
Todd and Tyler return to the Book of Revelation, this time moving into the visions in chapters 4 and 5. The throne, the 24 elders, the 4 living creatures, the scroll with 7 seals, the Lion of Judah who is also a Lamb, and the new song. We also begin to look at the opening of the seals in chapter 6 but mostly leave the 4 horsemen waiting in the wings until next time.
Todd and Tyler talk about the Book of Revelation. Or is it Revelations? Revelationses perhaps? We talk about the genre of apocalyptic literature and the vivid imagery taken from Exodus, Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel. The apocalyptic and supernatural worldview. The letters of John to the Seven churches. And the value of the book for spiritual insight as an “unveiling” of Christ’s mission and identity. In this first part we get through chapters 1-3. Later chapters will be taken up in future episodes.
Todd and Tyler talk about the Dead. What happens to people who died without knowing Christ? Do sinners get any more opportunity to repent after they die? Christian practices and doctrines like prayer for the dead and Purgatory. Latter-day Saint practices of baptism for the dead and other vicarious ordinances. The Harrowing of Hell. And the use of money for religious purposes.
