GOD’S JUDGMENT on an unrepentant world is the focus of this week’s New Testament study.
John was shown terrifying imagery of disasters so catastrophic that the earth is literally shaken to its core. But take heart — the church of Jesus Christ is not appointed to wrath, so if you have accepted Christ as your Savior, you won’t be here for it.
We discuss the first six trumpet judgments, speculate on why Dan is not among the tribes of Israel sealed by God during the Great Tribulation, briefly explain the 70 weeks of Daniel (Daniel 9:24-27), and explain why Joel’s Army (see Joel 2:1-11) is actually the horde of demonic locusts released from the abyss by Apollyon in Revelation 9.

Hey Derek and Sharon, love your Bible studies. Was listening to section about the tribes and which one, if any at all, the A/C would come from. You two have probably read this already, but in Irenaeus: Against Heresies, Irenaeus quotes him as coming from the tribe of Dan. I have read this verbatim, probably heard it first from Dr. Ken Johnson, I would imagine. Anyway, love you guys, and GOD Bless. You do a fantastic work for the Body of Christ.
SCI FRIDAY RULZ!
My apologies, I listened to the podcast again and this time caught where you mentioned that Irenaeus actually spoke about the tribe of Dan. Fascinating subject all the way around.
Thank you guys.
Your relationship with each other really helps me drive my relationship with my wife in the same way. We have a long distant relationship, hopefully we will be together very soon as we are going through the visa process as I speak. Your relationship with each other is what helps me to drive our relationship to be stronger in Christ and be a beacon of light.
Question from Revelation 8. I noticed that everything that was affected by these trumpets was one-third. Is there any significance to the one-third instead of one-half or one-fourth? Just something I wondered.
Thanks
I think we live on a dome .. flat earth if you’d like to call it but it’s more like a sphere and I don’t think you know any more than anyone . Sharon like to say she’s been studying Bible since she was 8 or 9 but dismissing a sphere is wron.. I think. I too have been studiing scripture since I was saved at 8. I learn from y’all but do believe we have four corners and do not live on around earth nor been to the moon etc. if you look how Sheol, tartarus, hades then the 3rd haven. It’s frustrating when Sharon come across like she’s the only one that knows scripture and Bible prophecy. I don’t know if any of us will really know until earths new Jerusalem comes
As for me I think the locusts are helicopters. John only had contemporary words to describe them.
Have you ever seen a helicopter standing? The rotor blades look like women’s hair, on the top it looks like a crown, the noise of their wings equal the noise of many chariots with horses (there was no more noise known at that time), and napalm or equal stuff comes out of … there was no other word than tails.
The horses in v. 17 are tanks. Camouflage colours, and John knew no other words than fire and smoke and sulfur coming out of their mouths.
Hello Brother Derek & Sister Sharon
First time emailing you.
It is October 5, 2023 and I am listening to Rev 7-9. Sharon stated that Joseph had 2 sons that were half Egyptian and Derek agreed. Can you provide me with a reference for that please? Love, love, love you both and your products. Wonderful.
I watch you and SkywatchTV on Roku. The content information that is provided does not all appear. I depress the “*” key to see more content and nothing comes up. Can you have your technicians look into this, please? The content works fine with all the other shows. [Content – information that tells you about the show you are going to watch.]
Hi, Alexa: Thank you for your kind words. We can ask the techs to look into that. Please note that the information is the same that you would find here at our website or at our mobile app.
Genesis 41:45 identifies Joseph’s wife:
On was the city of Heliopolis, which was the center for the worship of the sun-god, Ra.
Hello Sister Sharon & Brother Derek
When you mentioned that Joseph had 2 half Egyptian children, I thought you were refering to Mary’s husband Joseph, because you were talking about the lineage of Jesus and how the jews believe there will be 2 (Ben-David, Ben-Joseph). So yes, I am not confused anymore about Mary’s Joseph having other children.
Thank you for responding so quickly. Your look so happy and content. I am so glad that Our Lord joined the two of you together. He made you both so smart and confident. I am learning so much more because of your commitment. The prophetic books makes more sense to me now. I am not able to persuade my bible study friends to listen to you because of the way we were all biblically trained. But I see and am beginning to understand what God is saying. Thank you.
