This week on Tell the Truth, we dove deeper into the Book of Revelation, continuing our study of this profound prophetic book. It’s been a powerful continuation of our journey, and we’re grateful to have you join us as we unpack these important truths.

We’re now past much of the background building and diving into the heart of Revelation. As we mentioned on the episode, we’re able to move through this material more directly now, hitting it “hot and fast” because so many people have never heard these truths taught clearly. We want you to know what’s coming—not to scare you, but to prepare you and give you hope.

One of the most sobering realities we discussed is that nothing in God’s Word remains to prevent Jesus from calling His church home. The rapture could happen today, tonight, or tomorrow morning. As soon as the church is taken home, the seven-year tribulation will begin to unfold. This isn’t meant to frighten us but to remind us of the urgency of sharing the Gospel.

Even as we study these intense and difficult passages, we’re reminded that Jesus extends an invitation at the end of Revelation: “Come drink of the water of life without cost.” He’s inviting people right now, even as we discuss the seals, trumpets, and bowls of God’s judgment. Perhaps we all need to repeat this invitation after every judgment we study—He’s saying “come.”

This is why John cries out, “Come quickly, Lord Jesus!” When you understand the reality of what’s described in Revelation, you understand John’s urgency to get this thing done and move into eternity with Christ.

As we examined the sixth seal, we saw the sky split apart like a scroll, mountains and islands moved from their places, and people from every level of society—from kings to slaves—hiding in caves and crying out for the rocks to fall on them. They want to hide from the presence of Him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb.

Here’s what struck us: they know exactly what’s happening. They know who is doing this. And we’re only at the midpoint of the tribulation—three and a half years in with another three and a half years to go. The worst part hasn’t even arrived yet.

We’re sharing this material because we care about you and those you love. We want you to talk to a friend, to witness to someone who needs to hear that they can avoid what we’re studying. These are harsh realities, but there’s hope in Jesus Christ.

Join us as we continue this important study. Let’s learn together, grow together, and share the hope of the Gospel with a world that desperately needs to hear it.

See you next week!
