The Mysteries of the Apocalypse by Christophe Hanauer,Jean-Marc Thobois Pdf
Inspired by the complimentary feature film documentary series, The 7 Churches of Revelation, The Mysteries of the Apocalypse by Jean-Marc Thobois and Christophe Hanauer looks at the book of Revelation through the lens of biblical history, archaeology, and culture, giving readers a more accurate—and fascinating—understanding of the end times. The book of Revelation, written by the Apostle John, opens with a set of seven letters sent to a community of seven churches located in present-day Turkey. The term apocalypse has acquired a negative connotation over the centuries that has taken it away from its original meaning to evoke a cataclysmic and destructive event. This word has become popular for the wrong reasons. In Ancient Greek, it means a disclosure or revelation of great knowledge. The first key to better understand the mysteries of the prophecies of Revelation is to refer to Old Testament scriptures. In order to understand the New Testament, one should ask how the people of Israel understood and interpreted the teachings of Jesus and the apostles in their day. The second key is to consider the historical and political context of the time of writing of the text. In the first century, the Roman Empire persecuted, sometimes with extreme violence, the followers of Jesus Christ. Finally, the third key proposed is to regard the book of Revelation as a sort of synthesis, a summary of eschatological prophecies present throughout the Bible. Far from claiming to provide absolute truth, these three major keys help to decipher the true meaning of the text and better grasp its allusions and other symbolisms. Thus history, archeology, and culture anchor the book in reality. This unveiling gives context that speaks with great interest to our generation.

Mystery of the Seven Golden Candlesticks by Doug Gilworth Pdf
John the Apostle was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and he heard Jesus speak as the voice of a trumpet. When John turned to look, the first thing he saw was "seven golden candlesticks" and Jesus in the midst of them. What are these "seven golden candlesticks" John heralds to us in the first chapter of the book of Revelation? Bible scholars and students have speculated on this topic for almost two thousand years. Some suggest a deeper meaning of the seven golden candlesticks is they represent seven periods of the church, seven personality types within the church, and seven types of churches, among others. But no widely held view exists. An angel explained to John deep spiritual truth pertaining to the seven golden candlesticks, giving the seven churches: Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamos, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea as the answer, but is that all there is to it, or did the angel tell John more? Did the angel tell John something in which he was instructed not to write, because it was for the end-times? Most believe there is a deeper meaning; otherwise there would not have been so much conjecture over the years. And it is called a mystery for a reason. Seven messages to the seven churches occupy two full chapters in the preeminent end-time book of prophecy, undoubtedly for an important purpose, certainly adding fuel to the fire of grandeur. The ultimate meaning of the mystery of the seven golden candlesticks is what this book possibly divulges, and along with it the understanding of who the seven stars in Jesus's right hand are, the unfolding of the righteous experiencing victory over death, the judgment seat of Christ, the kingdom of heaven, and many other things revealed by the understanding of this mystery.
