Description: The future of the non-believer unfolds in John’s vision.

Key Text: Revelation 14:1-5
Description: Ever wish you could see into the future?
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.

Key Text: Revelation 13:11-18
Description:
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.

Description:
Scandia Host: The antichrist — a fascination for many people.
Average Guy: For sure.
Scandia Host: But did you know that while it’s a popular theme in books and movies, the term never appears in the book of Revelation?
Average Guy: Huh???
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.
But what does the Bible say about the antichrist? …And how does that relate to what we read in the book of Revelation?

Description: The Cross of Jesus Christ silenced the mouth of Satan before the throne of God and forever removed him from the court of heaven.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and shows us that with Satan unable to accuse believers before God, he turned his attention to the church on earth.
And it is for or this reason, the church on earth has been called The Church Militant… for it is THE CHURCH AT WAR!

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.

Then the seventh angel sounded; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying,“The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever.”
—Revelation 11:15
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.
For the goal is that Heaven and Earth are one and that God’s temple fills the earth… and the final destruction of all His enemies is seen.

Description: Even in the midst of terrible things, God is at work safeguarding His people.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and explains that the protection God affords His people is the point that chapter 10 and 11 make.
For the church follows after her Lord as faithful witnesses who are persecuted even unto death …and yet just like Jesus, God’s people will one day see the resurrection, restoration, and victory.

Key Text: Revelation 11:1-2
Description: A new temple in Jerusalem will be constructed and temple sacrifices reinstituted. …Or will they?
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?

Key Text: Revelation 11:1-2
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.

Description: Have you ever lost hope?
Peter knew what it meant to lose hope.
Today on this Easter Sunday Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao opens the book of 1 Peter to show us that hope fled from him when he watched his Lord die but his hope returned with the resurrection — and he freely shares this hope in his book with discouraged gentile believers — because it was a living hope.

Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues our study in the book of Revelation in which witness right along with John… 
And yet, as breathtaking as this image is… this amazing being is just simply one of God’s servants do His bidding.
But through this vision, we capture a glimpse of God’s amazing sovereignty over a seemingly chaotic world which will one day come to an end — when the mysteries of the Lord Almighty will be revealed in the renewed world that awaits.

Description: Sometimes Judgment doesn’t come as we would expect.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and asks would we still consider it “Judgement” if God brought forth an event so dramatic that it rivaled Sodom and Gomorrah, but instead of fire and brimstone, there was deception and idolatry?

Key Text: Revelation 9:1-12
Description:
The skies over the Euphrates swarm with airborne military weaponry: helicopters, jets, and drones crowd the air. And like metal locusts equipped with rapid fire guns in their mouths and bombs in their tails, they have orders to incessantly attack and destroy.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation in which we turn our attention to chapter 9 — a chapter that has has certainly captured the imagination of Bible interpreters from around the world — with interpretations as varied as an invasion of Apache helicopters to an army of genetically modified locusts who prey on flesh instead of vegetation.
But, are these interpretations in line with what John is trying to communicate? … or have we moved away from the purpose of the book?

Key Text: Revelation 8:7-13
Description:
And the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared…to sound them.
The first [angel] sounded, and there came hail and fire….
The second…and something like a great mountain burning with fire was thrown into the sea….
The third…a great star fell from heaven, burning like a torch….
[And with] the fourth…the sun…the moon and…the stars were struck, so that a third of them…darkened….
Rev 8:6-12
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation in which we see the first four Trumpet Judgements unfold.
And what we’ll find is that like the first four Seal Judgments, the first four Trumpet Judgments come as a set — a set that, astute readers will recognize, comes out of Israel’s great period of redemptive history…the Exodus.

We’ve tackled the topic of who they are, and what the seal on the forehead means.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation (and chapter 7) to help us make sense of how this chapter fits in with everything else in the book we’ve learned so far. For we now know the numbered people are seen as an innumerable multitude, and the fullness of God’s promises are seen to His glory.
