Series: Revelation
Key Text: Revelation 19:1-10
Description: As we near the end of the Bible, the fate of two women hang in the balance.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation in which we are introduced to two women who will be be judged very differently: the harlot and the bride.
The harlot — the great prostitute and idolatress of Babylon — has been corrupting and poisoning the earth with her adultery, and now must face the fierce outpouring of the wrath of the Lamb.

While the the Bride of Christ has been redeemed and is permitted to dress in fine, dazzling white and clean linen — signifying the righteous and moral acts of the saints — as she readies herself for her groom… who is also the Lamb.
For one will stand as recipient of His wrath, the other, His love.

Preacher: Monty Simao, pastor
Series: Revelation
Key Text: Revelation 18
Description:
Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place of demons and a prison of every unclean spirit…
And the kings of the earth, who committed acts of immorality and lived sensuously with her, will weep and lament over her when they see the smoke of her burning, standing at a distance because of the fear of her torment, saying, “Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For in one hour your judgment has come.”
It’s the funeral of Babylon the Great…the funeral of the Harlot.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation in which we see in chapter 18 the world watching from a distance the funeral service of Babylon, lamenting that their cash cow has met her demise.
“Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had ships at sea became rich by her wealth, for in one hour she has been laid waste!”

But the saints are also watching, and they are rejoicing that God has judged the city that has made itself drunk on the blood of the martyrs.
Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced judgment for you against her.

Description: The river seems so inviting and the falls seem so far away… but once the current ensnares you, there is no possibility of escape!
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation to show us that there are some things in life which have the appearance of safety, but are actually extremely dangerous.

Such is the reason that the enticement of this world is symbolized as a harlot: Her seduction is the path of doom for she draws her strength from Satan, himself.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and shares that this it is one of the most difficult things about self defense.

With all the subterfuge out there, how do you defend yourself against something whose aim is not to be recognized? Or what happens if your enemy is actually luring you into a trap and leading you down a path that can only end to destruction?

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and points out that though God’s judgement and wrath may not be subjects people flock to, the Bible mentions them very clearly… and often.

Key Text: Revelation 15:1-8
Description: Have you ever had a dream in which you were being pursued? Have you ever awoke in a cold sweat because you were almost caught?
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation in which he teaches that the feeling of being pursued is one the ancient Israelites knew well, as God brought about a great deliverance in the Exodus.

But as great a picture as the Exodus is in showing us God’s deliverance, the Bible speaks of an even greater “Exodus” with a freedom that comes from One who is greater than Moses.

Key Text: Revelation 14:16-20
Description: Fire and brimstone preaching… a style that has certainly has fallen out of contemporary fashion. And yet, the Bible is chock-full of explicit and implicit warning against the coming wrath of God.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and points out that whether the message is read from the Bible, or preached from the pulpit, countless people hear it and delay bowing the knee before God in repentance.

The day is coming, however, when it will be too late to repent… and both the believer and the non-believer will be harvested: one to eternal reward — the other, eternal damnation.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao shows us that our study Revelation this time around allows us to do just that: giving us a glimpse of God’s people, without question, triumphantly standing with the Lord Jesus on Mount Zion.

In addition, we can’t help but marvel at the depth of God’s faithfulness on display — not even one saint lost, all are known and accounted for.

666
… a number in the Bible that for many strikes fear.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and shares with us the irony in that while the being afraid of six-six-six (hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia) is a real thing (as is the word to describe it), its placement in the Bible is not so that we recoil in terror, but rather that we see the POWER of God in all things.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and explains that the antichrist has captured the imagination of people everywhere — churchgoer or not.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and introduces us to a woman, a dragon, and a child — three signs that not only point us to this battle but help us understand and gain a perspective that nothing the Dragon (Satan) does, or will do, can stop God’s providential purposes.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation where we see the Trumpet Judgments come to an end in much the same way as the Seal Judgments — with images representing the final Day of Judgment and the consummation of Christ’s kingdom.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and shows us how the beginning of chapter 11 draws our attention back to the eschatological temple that Ezekiel prophesied of. 
But what is this temple? Is it going to be just like before with animal sacrifices and everything? Or, rather, was Ezekiel’s vision a picture of something greater which finds it’s fulfillment in Christ?

Description: Most people think the end game of the Bible (Consummation) is for God to bring man back to The Garden.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation, and teaches us that in the story of Redemption, that line of thinking is simply NOT TRUE. 
No, Consummation will bring us back to a state far better than Eden…far better than anything we can imagine!
For sin will be no more, righteousness will reign, and the garden will have been expanded to the ends of the earth…where God will dwell with us.
