How to live in the last days? (Reading Revelation Responsibly)
Pastor Tony Liuzzo (Lead Pastor) - Revelation (Luke 17:26-32 & 34-36; 1 John 2:15; Ephesians 6:10-12; 2 Thessalonians 2:3; 2 Timothy 3:1; Genesis 13:11-13; 19:1-8, 12-16 & 24-29; Proverbs 4:23; 2 Corinthians 6:16-18)
Are we living in the last days?
There are so many signs that point to this being true. If we are living in the last days, what should we do?
The world is so corrupt, but we can't just run and hide. The Bible gives us the illustration of last days through the story of Lot. We can learn a lot from this story on how to live in the last days.
Bible Study Description:
Women riding many-headed beasts? Talking eagles? Many-faced creatures that sing on a sea made of glass? The Book of Revelation can be confusing, and even a little frightening.
Although we often focus on the prophetic nature of the Revelation, it is meant to give hope to believers in every age. Let's study this often-misunderstood part of the Bible.
