The 2012 Northern Virginia Conference was on The Mountaintops of Scripture, giving a dispensational overview of the Bible.
The goals of this study are three-fold: first, to help the Bible student “think through” the Bible story along the lines of God’s promises and their fulfillment in the Person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ. The second objective is for us to gain a sense of how to “rightly divide” the Word of God, according to its own inherent pattern. In so doing, we are able to see its unity and minimize supposed contradictions. Finally, this overall grasp of Scripture will enable us to “tell the story” to others, keeping the focus where it belongs—on Jesus Christ the Savior.

Revelation #1 (Rev 1:1-3)

Revelation #1 (Rev 1:1-3)

The purpose of the book of Revelation is to reveal Jesus Christ as the victor in the spiritual conflict and explain what was, what is now, and what is to come in history. The greatest assurance that we have as believers is that Jesus Christ controls history. Heb 1:2. This lesson gives us an introduction to the book, an overview of chapter 1 and an outline of the entire book. The foundation for understanding Revelation is to understand 5 works the Holy Spirit performs in relationship to the Bible. There is a blessing of the book that can be obtained only by those who have trusted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. This blessing is obtained by hearing the book taught and reading the book, but these two acts must be accompanied by the application of what we’ve learned to our life. Rev 1:3. This blessing represents the 1st of seven beatitudes found in the book of Revelation. Other doctrines introduced in the teaching of this 1st lesson are the Incarnation of Jesus Christ, the Deity of Christ, the Inspiration of the Word of God, the Rapture of the church, and the Tribulation. The ultimate challenge of the book of Revelation is to live in the expectation of Christ’s return. 1Ti 4:8
