I was in conversation with a friend one day about fellowship with God when, mid-conversation, the Lord began to reveal to me a simple yet profound truth. “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” — John 10:27 (KJV) So many in the Body of Christ confess a desire to hear God’s voice. They seek out teachers to show them how to access God in ways they believe others can. There are conferences, seminars, courses, and streams dedicated to “hearing God.” Yet Jes

Seal 3: The Black Horse — Famine and Economic Collapse The black horse rider presented in Revelation 6 is relatively straightforward and easy to understand. Things to Remember About the Horsemen Before examining the third seal, it is important to recall several foundational truths about the horsemen: They are “the four spirits of the heavens” who go forth from standing in the presence of the Lord of all the earth (Zechariah 6:5). They patrol the earth (Zechariah 1:10). They a

In our previous blog, we identified the white horse rider. We now move on to the second seal. Things to Remember About the Horsemen Before examining the red horse, it is important to recall several foundational truths about the horsemen: They are “the four spirits of the heavens” who go forth from standing in the presence of the Lord of all the earth (Zechariah 6:5). They patrol the earth (Zechariah 1:10). They are not symbolic figures, but real spiritual entities vested with

Seal 1 – The White Horse and Its Rider Revelation 6:1–2 - 1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seals, and I heard, as it were the noise of thunder, one of the four beasts saying, Come and see. 2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. When the first seal is opened, John hears the thunderous voice of one of the four living creatures (first introduced in Revelatio

Revelation 6: The Seals as Revelation, Not Execution Revelation 6 is quite the wonder, presenting vivid imagery and riveting themes that move believers to ponder and prepare for the things that will unfold upon the earth in times to come. However, before we explore its verses, we must first remind ourselves of several key points learned in the previous blog . The seals conceal the writing on the outside of the book in God’s hand. Because John is in a vision, when a seal is op

Many people fear studying the book of Revelation - not simply because it contains frightening or troubling imagery, but also because it can be confusing at times. However, once the structure of the book is understood, Revelation becomes surprisingly simple to read. From my experience teaching the book of Revelation, chapters 5 through 7 are the area that often stumps readers before they even realize it. Yet if you can understand the structure of these three chapters, you will

Understanding the Book with Seven Seals There is considerable confusion surrounding the Book of Seals in Revelation 5, especially its purpose, function, and the meaning of each seal. Many, in trying to discern our current place on the Bible prophecy timeline, focus on the seals and ask: “Which seal are we currently at?” In this blog, I aim to dispel that confusion once and for all, allowing the Scriptures themselves to unveil the truth about the book that was in the Father’s

Revelation 5:5 - And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. In the verse above, John hears reference to “the Lion of the tribe of Judah,” a title loaded with meaning but left unexplained. This language reaches back to Genesis 49:9–10, where Judah is first associated with the lion and enduring authority. To understand why this title appears in

Revelation 5 — The Sealed Book and the Worthy Lamb Revelation 5–7 are of great significance. These chapters often cause confusion and stumbling as readers seek to understand the Book of Revelation. However, there is no need to fear them. We will examine these chapters carefully and seek God’s enlightenment so that His Word may be rightly understood.
