THIS QUARTER TOPICS: "The Climax of History"
– Classes use the “Christian Life Series” which is a publication of Union Gospel Press Division. This Spring Quarter is about “The Climax of History” by covering key scriptures from the New Testament letters and selections from Revelation. Our lessons walk through difficult texts and help readers dispel misconceptions about history’s conclusion. The first unit “Challenges to the Faith”, Lesson 1, focuses on Jude’s warning against false teachers, a message still pertinent today. Lesson 2, Jude shifts his focus to the faithful among his audience, exhorting them to build up their faith. Our second unit “The Revelation of Jesus” begins with lesson 3, in which Peter anticipates Jesus’ return and addresses those who deny the Second Coming and assures the faithful that Christ will come and exercise judgment. Lesson 4, describes the ceaseless praise before the throne of God. We find in lesson 5, the praises of the twenty-four elders and angels as Christ comes to open the sealed scroll. Lesson 6, documents the resounding worship of the innumerable multitude.Lesson 7, considers the messages of the three angels, with particular focus on the second one’s proclamation concerning Babylon. God’s wrath will be poured out upon those who stray from Him and worship the evil figures. Lesson 8, we pause our study of Revelation to reflect on Easter. Luke describes the Risen Lord’s interactions and lessons. The third and final unit “The Final Victory” we return to Revelation lessons 9 – 13, cover the final chapters of Revelation. Lesson 9, considers the Lamb’s wedding feast, capturing the final consummation of Christ and His church. Finally, the remaining four lessons 10 – 13, we turn our attention to different aspects of the new heaven and new earth. These vivid images provide hope for Christians suffering in the world today.
