The Season of Epiphany or of the Revelation of the Messiah begins with the Journey of the Magi, priests of the Zoroastrian faith from the Medo-Persian empire, who set out on a journey to find the promised Messiah, the King of the Jews. In this message Michael N. takes us on a journey through history, geography and the prophets, to a promised prophetic highway that will be a blessing on the Earth (Isaiah 19). It's fulfillment is part of the good news of the Kingdom that brings Jews and Gentiles together in Messiah that has implications on how we live our lives in this present evil age as we long for HIs appearing.

As we step into a new year, we're asking an honest and important question: What does it really mean to follow Jesus? In this sermon we'll look at Jesus' words to the church in Laodicea in Revelation 3—a loving but challenging call to move beyond comfortable, halfway faith and into a life of full surrender. Whether 2025 was a year of joy, struggle, growth, or disappointment, this message speaks directly to where we are and where Jesus is inviting us to go next. Following Him was never meant to be "part-way"—it's an all-in invitation to real transformation, freedom, and life with Him. You'll hear a hopeful and grace-filled reminder that Jesus doesn't walk away from us when we struggle—He stands at the door and knocks. He offers forgiveness, clarity, rest, and renewal to anyone willing to open the door and follow Him fully. If you've felt spiritually stuck, lukewarm, or ready for something different this year, we would love for you to give a listen to this encouraging and challenging teaching about what it means to really follow Jesus.

Genesis 2:10-15; Revelation 22:1-5 We have been through death and come alive again. We need to be cleansed, cradled, and renewed by the living water of God's love. We are at the river, the source of life abundant. And in these passages, we are at the rivers of the garden. We are back around, ready to be companions of God once again.
In Chapter 11 of Genesis we read, “now the whole earth had one language and the same words” [v.1] and they said “let us build ourselves a city and a tower … lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth” [v.3,4]The Creators' reaction to this is recorded as being, “Behold the people are one people, and they have all one language and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.” [v.6]So the LORD confused the languages so that they could not understand one another. As a result they scatter “over the face of all the earth” [v.9] It is interesting that the Hebrew word for confused sounds like Babel (ESV footnote) and the Greek word for Babel is Babylon!Now, as we have seen in Revelation, Babylon is the key word used to symbolise an evil power. It is also interesting to note that the Name of God is apparently very similar in many languages, implying a common origin for this fundamental word.We note that God said, having a common language would be ‘only the beginning of what they will do.' Now, in this 21st Century, the world is extensively overcoming the language barrier.. The Internet provides automated translations, also education is world-wide and more and more in every country can read and understand basic English: when I was in Russia all the young people at the Bible School appeared to be able to do so.Another challenging thought; just before the flood, “the wickedness of man was great … every intention of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually” [6 v.5]. How comparable is this with the situation today! We should therefore anticipate eventual action by God again – as Bible readers know, the teaching of Jesus and his followers include such predictions.They built a ridiculously high tower in Dubai that is 860 metres tall – a modern tower of Babel. A comment has been made that it is built near a fault line! Such locations are more prone to earthquakes. Note the prophecy in Isaiah 2 v.15 that “every high tower shall fall” at the time of God's judgements? And how many high buildings are there now in the world? Most are claimed to be built so as to withstand earthquakes! Reflect on what you read in Isaiah 29 v.5-7 and Revelation 16 v.18 and similar passages..Our Psalm reading today states,, “The fool says in his heart. ‘There is no God.' They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds … The LORD looks down from heaven … to see if there are any who understand, who seek after God.” [14 v.1,2] We pray that includes us and that all who read these words seek after God – and find him.

And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life."2 Thessalonians 1:9 (Paul on the fate of those who do not obey the gospel):"They will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might."Mark 9:43-48 (Jesus on Gehenna):"It is better for you to enter life crippled than with two hands to go to hell [Gehenna], to the unquenchable fire... where their worm does not die and the fire is not quenched."Revelation 14:9-11 (spoken by a third angel as part of a series of angelic proclamations):"If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on their forehead or on their hand, they, too, will drink the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment will rise for ever and ever. There will be no rest day or night for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name."
The title of the book of “Revelation” (singular) points to a singular event: The uncovering, unveiling, or revelation of Jesus Christ. We met Jesus in the Gospels when He took on skin, but the Gospels only tell half the story. The book of Revelation completes the picture. Right here at the start, ask the Spirit to teach you what only He can explain.
In this conversation, Mike and Tim explore the significance of God's name, particularly in the context of the Lord's Prayer. They discuss the cultural understanding of names in ancient times, the meaning of the Tetragrammaton, and how God's name reflects His character and covenant with His people. The conversation delves into the implications of misusing God's name in modern contexts, the nature of God's jealousy, and the relationship between God's name and humanity. Ultimately, they emphasize the importance of honoring God's name in worship and daily life.

Biblical prophecy reveals specific signs that indicate Christ's return is approaching, including widespread deception, wars, natural disasters, persecution of Christians, and the cooling of love among believers. Jesus described these signs as labor pains that intensify over time, culminating in a seven-year period called the Great Tribulation. The Antichrist will rise as a false peacemaker before demanding worship, and Christ will return visibly and victoriously. Israel's rebirth as a nation in 1948 represents a significant prophetic milestone. Rather than trying to predict dates, believers should focus on being ready for His return through salvation and faithful living.

As Grace City Church steps into 2026, Pastor Josh McPherson launches a six-week series called The Consecrated Life—a call to pause, realign, and return to what matters most before charging the next hill. Teaching from Revelation 2, Pastor Josh warns that a church can work hard, endure opposition, and do good deeds—yet still drift from its first love. This message calls believers to stop being busy for God while growing distant from God, and instead embrace a life of consecration.

From Project Genesis of the White House, which held a special meeting with 33 technology heads in late 2025, to the Quantum Genesys music event in Egypt and Henry Kissinger's book titled “Genesis”; and from the Big Beautiful Bill's AI moratorium to Samsung's 6G Project and a recent White House report on “Winning the 6G Race,” the sudden explosion of an AI arms race has largely been obscured by the very people who once attempted to expose its dangers. Elon Musk and his desire to have a legion of children is suddenly acceptable because he crossed the political dividing line. Now if the richest man in the world wants to run the same breeding program Jeffrey Epstein was working on, or take away employment and money in exchange for automation and UBI, he is cheered a hero of team-humanity. Perhaps Musk wants you to have more children for the data, or perhaps the goal is to replace older generations with a new, and final, human generation that will be subservient to the technocratic monarchy of Curtis Yarvin, JD Vance, and Peter Thiel. Interestingly, Yarvin said the Trump administration had failed in its goals after the invasion of Venezuela, mostly was the president wasn't authoritarian enough; he fell into the trappings of checks and balances and allowed Democrats to remain in power. This is precisely the same argument Alex Jones made to “dismantle the deepstate.” Under the guise of defeating Democrats, the entire system must be collapsed so that it can be replaced by technocracy while people's minds are hijacked by Musk's brain implants. The goal seems to be a rebranding of the ultimate conspiracy, including the media, great resetting of society, secret societies, etc., and the production of a new man in the Omega generation. From Alpha to Omega, Revelation to Genesis. It's therefore no coincidence that the biggest names in genetics, including 23 and me and ancestry.com, are so connected to the church of Latter-day Saints, synagogues, and the Catholic Church along with companies like Google and Blackstone. The eschatological component of the new world and new man are as religious as they are anti-human, spiritual as they are dark occult.

As we head into 2026, let us consider a simple invitation from Psalm 34: Taste and see that the Lord is good. From Genesis to Revelation, the scriptures demonstrate God inviting us to receive his wonderful love in tangible, authentic, and embodied ways. Through Jesus, the hard work has been completed, and our job is to receive from him. What gets in the way of us “tasting and seeing” the goodness of God? Let us run (with abandon) into the perfect Arms of love as a community this year. By Nelly D'Alessandro
and in the middle of the lampstands I saw one like a son of man, clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and girded across His chest with a golden sash – Revelation 1:13
The Vision - Genesis thru Revelation
Send us a textChapter 22 concludes the Revelation of Jesus Christ and in it we are warned that He is coming soon. Living our lives being ready for the day when we meet Him should motivate every believer to stay faithful to Jesus and obey the Holy Spirit day by day ensuring our lives are used for the glory of His Kingdom.
As I take this year off from weekly Monday Musings, our world is still living in such tumultuous times. I pray that this study this year is one you can really dig into. So many are afraid of the book of Revelation in the Bible, but if we truly realized how it reveals Jesus to us, we may see it in a totally different way. I pray your heart is encouraged this year and I pray you grow deeper in love with Jesus and His Word.
In Part I of this two-part series, we focused on the magnificent gift that we as Christians are given when we accept the redemption for our sins available through Jesus' sacrifice. We talked about the magnitude of this gift and how true disciples of Jesus are also required to give back as a result of receiving this gift. According to Scripture, the action of “giving back” is accomplished through our responsibility to reverently care for it. This care is clearly identified by how we choose to live our lives as genuine followers of Christ. Fortunately, we have clear and concise instructions waiting for us in the Scriptures! Part I established the “required care focuses” from Romans 12:1—recognition, awe, gratitude, humility, intentional self‑denial, adopting a new mindset and full engagement. These attitudes prepare believers for the deeper work of transformation highlighted in the next verse. Romans 12:2 introduces two essential components of discipleship: NOT conforming to the world Being transformed by the renewing of the mind. Additionally, we suggest Christian non‑conformity has two "levels:" We must be OUT of alignment with the world's values We must walk away from our own internal habits, desires and emotional patterns. Jesus modeled this non‑conformity through his kingdom‑focused life, and his disciples were called to leave behind their former identities and occupations to follow him. The result: a "new creation" Transformation in Christ cannot begin until non‑conformity has intentionally been chosen. 2 Corinthians 5:14–17 and Philippians 3:13–15 reveal that transformation involves seeing others—and even Christ himself—from a spiritual perspective rather than a fleshly one. The Greek word for “transform” (metamorphoō) indicates a complete change of form, illustrated by the transfiguration of Jesus and the believer's gradual change “from glory to glory” through the spirit. This transformation results in becoming a “new creation,” something entirely fresh and never before existing. This process is lifelong, requiring perseverance, repeated decisions and reliance on God's strength. Ultimately, transformation leads to receiving a “new name” and full acceptance by God, symbolized in Revelation 2:17. True discipleship is radical, intentional, and deeply rewarding, culminating in participation in God's future work of blessing all humanity. A Few Key Takeaways True transformation begins only after intentional non‑conformity to the world. Discipleship requires daily self‑denial, a renewed mindset and full engagement. Transformation is a gradual, spirit‑driven process that reshapes identity and purpose. True believers become a “new creation,” ultimately receiving God's full approval and a symbolic “new name.”

*Listen to the Show notes and podcast transcript with this multi-language player. Summary The discussion focuses on becoming living epistles—believers whose lives and words embody the living Christ. Using the parable of the wise and foolish virgins as a foundation, the speakers emphasize that maintaining the oil of the Spirit is essential to engage with the Bridegroom. True transformation and ministry flow not from intellect or revelation alone, but from impartation—the living Word of Christ spoken through a heart filled with the Holy Spirit. The group also reflects on building upon the true foundation of Christ, allowing the Spirit—not human leadership—to guide this maturing movement. The conversation concludes with an acknowledgment of God's love, grace, and free will given to all, highlighting that every person is being drawn to deeper relationship and maturity in Him. Show Notes • The parable of the five wise and five foolish virgins illustrates spiritual readiness through maintaining the anointing (oil). • Revelation is valuable, but the goal is relationship and impartation, not just knowledge. • Living epistles are those who speak Christ—their words create, impart, and transform. • The true Word of the Lord brings fruit; if no fruit appears, it's time for growth, not condemnation. • Foundation in Christ remains essential—believers must build upon it, not start over. • The movement today is leaderless in human terms but guided by the Spirit of Christ, the true Apostle and Head. • As each person matures, roles shift—sometimes shepherd, sometimes sheep—all under grace. • Even those focused on basic salvation messages have their purpose in God's plan. • Spiritual growth comes through hunger and choice—a willingness to move beyond the familiar. • God's plan is inclusive—He gives everyone opportunity to come into the knowledge of the Lord. • We are living in the day of impartation, where transformation happens through the Spirit's presence and spoken Word. Quotes • “Without the oil—the anointing, the Holy Spirit—there's no connection.” — Ken • “The true living epistles aren't revelators or expositors. They are those who speak Christ in the earth.” — Ron • “If a true living epistle speaks to you, you're going to change if your heart's open.” — Ron • “Be careful how you build on that foundation.” — Ken (quoting Paul) • “We're leaning on the Spirit to lead us. The true apostle is Christ Himself, the Head.” — Mike • “It's because we're solid in that foundation that we can go higher in revelation.” — Lois • “Every heart has to decide—am I hungry enough to seek out something different?” — Ron • “This is the day of Spirit—the year of Spirit—we are there.” — Ken Scriptural References • Matthew 25:1–13 — The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins; keeping oil (the Spirit) to engage the Bridegroom. • 2 Corinthians 3:2–3 — You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men... written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God. • John...
In this episode we compile chapters 4, 5 and 6 of the Book of Revelation into one easy volume.Have you ever wondered what happens when ancient religious texts and hallucinogenic experiences collide? Our latest deep dive into the Book of Revelation might just convince you that John of Patmos was experiencing something far more chemical than divine. Taking you straight through heaven's door in Chapter 4, we explore John's fantastical descriptions of beings that shine like precious stones, a floor made of glass "like unto crystal," and creatures covered in eyes with faces of lions, calves, men, and eagles. We compare these vivid visions to documented medical cases of hallucinations, including a fascinating 2022 paper describing patients who see "colourful crystal sheens" during altered states of consciousness. The parallels are undeniable and hilarious. The biblical connections run deep as we trace John's inspiration to earlier prophets like Ezekiel and Isaiah, showing how he borrowed elements from their visions while adding his own psychedelic twist. We dissect the significance of jasper and sardine stones, analyze the mysterious sea of glass (with at least six competing interpretations), and question whether eternal existence spent repeating "Holy, holy, holy" truly represents paradise. Our irreverent analysis adds yet another theory to what Revelation might actually be – beyond prophecy, coded rebellion literature, xenophobic propaganda, or incel manifesto, we now must consider "hallucination dream journal" as a strong possibility. Whether you're a skeptic, a believer, or somewhere in between, our comedic breakdown offers fresh insights into this ancient text that continues to fascinate and perplex readers across millennia. Listen now, and remember – as we always say at the end – that's why Satan is my superhero.In Chapter 5 YHWH clutches an unreadable book, a slain lamb shows up with seven horns and seven eyes, and a countless horde of angels simps hard for the apocalypse. Also featuring: thoughts and prayers (now available in jar form), David Koresh laying down the rules, and Jesus—just a lonely guy looking for love.Expect savage biblical satire, original comedy sketches, and even some punk rock as we question the foundations of Christian prophecy, Heaven, and the entire end times narrative. Whether you're into religious history, skepticism, or just love blasphemous comedy, this deep dive will crack you up and crack the seals wide open (you see what we did there...).And finally in chapter 6 The Four Horsemen arrive and one of them might be riding a green My Little Pony named Minty. Join us as we plunge headfirst into the book of revelation 6, where John of Patmos takes a break from persecution to write the wildest fanfiction in biblical history.Expect plague balls, Elon Musk jokes, martyrs begging God for blood vengeance, and the rich elites hiding in caves — some things never change. If you've ever been cast out, laughed at, or told you're going to Hell—welcome home. Made for the misfits, the weirdos, the godless and the damned—Satan Is My Superhero is your unholy sanctuary.

LEVITICUS 10 — YAHUAH'S FIRE, PRIESTLY RESTRAINT, AND ACCOUNTABILITY AFTER REVELATION“Authorized Worship, Discernment, and Survival Near the Fire”Teacher: Kerry BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyThis message continues the Torah teaching sequence following Leviticus 9, where authorized fire came from before Yahuah and His standard for acceptable worship was revealed.Leviticus 10 moves from approval to accountability.This chapter establishes:Who defines acceptable worshipHow priests must respond after revelationHow leadership is judged when failure occursThis is not emotional teaching.This is covenant instruction.WHAT WE COVER IN THIS MESSAGE1. Unauthorized Fire After the Standard Is RevealedLeviticus 10:1–2Nadab and Abihu act without command after Yahuah has already revealed authorized fire. This section establishes that silence from Yahuah is not permission and that innovation at the altar becomes rebellion once the standard is known. Proximity increases accountability, not protection.2. Yahuah Is Qadosh and Judgment Is ImmediateLeviticus 10:2–3Fire comes from before Yahuah and consumes the disobedient priests. Aaron's silence is recorded as submission, not weakness. This section explains why restraint and fear of Yahuah preserve life when judgment is righteous.3. Grief Does Not Override Covenant AssignmentLeviticus 10:4–7Aaron and his remaining sons are commanded to remain at their post. Personal loss does not suspend priestly responsibility. Covenant order is protected even when judgment is painful.4. Sobriety and Discernment at the AltarLeviticus 10:8–11Yahuah speaks directly to Aaron and establishes sobriety as a requirement for discernment. This section explains that sobriety is about clarity and distinction, not control, and why impaired judgment is deadly near holy fire.5. Service Continues After JudgmentLeviticus 10:12–15Priestly service does not collapse after failure. Order continues with greater restraint, discipline, and fear of Yahuah.6. Rebuke, Discernment, and RestraintLeviticus 10:16–20Moses rebukes Aaron because deviation must be examined. Aaron's explanation is accepted because restraint is not rebellion. This section establishes the difference between presumption and wisdom.WHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERSAuthority is establishedWorship is regulatedLeadership is judgedPresumption is exposedRestraint is honoredCovenant order is enforcedLeviticus 10 teaches that worship without obedience is dangerous and leadership without discernment invites judgment.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR STUDYLeviticus 9–10 • Exodus 40Deuteronomy 4 • Deuteronomy 12Numbers 15 • Numbers 20Ezekiel 9 • Ezekiel 24Malachi 21 Samuel 16 • 1 Samuel 24Job 40Psalms 46Hebrews 12Every section is taught precept upon precept.ABOUT AHAVA ~ LOVE ASSEMBLYWe teach the Pure Word of Yahuah, no religion, no tradition, no compromise.Our teaching follows the Sovereign Blueprint:Law | Precept | Example | Wisdom | Understanding | Prudence | Conviction | Fruit of the Ruach | Final Heart CheckSUPPORT THE WORK — GIVE VIA ZELLEZelle QR at: ahavaloveministry.comZelle only.No CashApp.No PayPal.FINAL WORDYahuah reveals His standard.Fire enforces it.Silence can preserve life.Restraint protects the altar.Leviticus 10 regulates life near holy fire.Final Heart Check:Now that the standard has been revealed, will your response honor Yahuah, or presume upon access?
Evan Chan, Pathway's Commissioned Collegiate Worker to CBU, looks at Revelation 2:1-7.
The Christmas story contains a dramatic cosmic battle that most people miss beneath the familiar nativity scenes. When Jesus was born, an invisible war was raging between God and Satan, with the infant Christ as the primary target. Herod's massacre of innocent children in Bethlehem wasn't merely the act of a paranoid king, but Satan's desperate attempt to destroy God's redemptive plan before it could unfold. Revelation 12 provides the behind-the-scenes perspective, showing a great red dragon positioned to devour the child as soon as He was born. This battle didn't begin in Bethlehem but traces back to Eden, where God first promised that the woman's offspring would crush the serpent's head. Throughout history, Satan has repeatedly tried to eliminate God's chosen line through figures like Cain, Pharaoh, and Haman, but Christmas marked the decisive invasion of God into enemy territory. God's perfect protection of Jesus demonstrates His sovereignty over even the most evil schemes. Joseph's immediate obedience to the angel's warning, fleeing to Egypt in the middle of the night, shows what faithful response looks like when we can't see the complete plan. We overcome in this ongoing spiritual battle through three key principles: confessing our need for Christ rather than denying our sinfulness, holding firmly to our testimony regardless of opposition, and understanding the Incarnation as God's necessary intervention in a world at war. Christmas isn't just a celebration but a confession that we desperately need the Savior who invaded our broken world to win the ultimate victory.
Part 2. Why Was It Written? David Pawson regards the book of Revelation as “probably the most important book in the New Testament for the Church to be studying right now for the very practical purpose for which it was written”, namely, to be “a manual for martyrdom”. Jesus provides encouragement to Christians facing persecution, exhorting them to endure and overcome. The book has present and future relevance for believers, and while it is addressed to the believers in the first-century AD, Jesus' words and the prophecies (some yet to be fulfilled) speak just as powerfully to Christians and the Church today. The many competing interpretations have caused confusion, particularly in relation to prophetic symbolism and the timings and nature of future events. If there are “as many riddles as there are words” here, then David demystifies and solves the book's riddle by explaining the more controversial, widely debated, and variously interpreted middle chapters, while also advocating reading Revelation in the plainest sense where possible. Jesus, in his compassion, has warned believers to prepare for his Second Coming. They are to remain faithful by upholding morals, resisting corruption, and identifying and opposing deception (false teaching), and, if necessary, enduring persecution. David unpacks Revelation's symbolism while addressing divisive subjects. Regarding the (Secret) Rapture, he argues that the book prepares believers to live through the Big Trouble (Tribulation), and adopts a pre-millennial position. Jesus promises to return to avenge the blood of the martyrs, while warning that backsliding believers will lose their place in the Book of Life and the New Jerusalem. Yet faithful overcomers will receive their inheritance. God is in control and Christians must ready themselves for Christ's return. Revelation's message is not just that “Jesus wins” but that he wants every believer to win” with him.
