Series: Revelation
Key Text: Revelation 20:1-3
Description: The opening verses of Revelation 20 are by far the most argued and most contested verses in this entire last book of the Bible.
Today on Scandia Bible Church, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and explains that the differing end-times positions we see in the church today are largely defined by how one views the millennial period mentioned in this chapter.
But this needn’t be a passage of confusion. We can make sense of what God is showing us in these passages, for though at first glance they may seem daunting, clarity and understanding awaits, from Him.

Key Text: Revelation 19:17-21
Description: It’s a feast! But there’s more than one…
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and explains that at the end of chapter 19, we are provided with an image of two different feasts.
The first is a beautiful banquet of the Marriage supper of the Lamb — the second, a grotesque gorge, that is even difficult to read about.
God’s judgment and eternal damnation is a difficult topic, but it’s one that Christ and His apostles spoke often of, and therefore, requires our attention.

Key Text: Revelation 19:11-16
Description: Everyone of us pictures Jesus in some way in our minds. Oftentimes, though, these pictures come more from pop culture than they do Scripture.
Today on Scandia Bible Church Podcast, Pastor Monty Simao continues with our study in the book of Revelation and shares that no matter what your picture of Jesus is, it likely falls short of the vision John received in chapter 19.
You see, if your picture of Jesus is “Jesus meek and mild,” then you might do a double take when He — the mighty Warrior King — comes galloping into battle on His white horse with robe dipped in blood.

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.

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?

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.

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.

… 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.
