Lessons

The lesson on September 25, 2016 was part 35 of “The Apocalypse” study.  This lesson completed chapter 16 of Revelation and we learned of the vials completes the judgment of God, particularly on Satan and his followers on the Earth.  We learn how Satan is kicked out of heaven and then put here on the Earth and has his own wrath and blasphemies against God.  In the scripture reading, we learn that Satan as the prince of the power of the air works in the children of disobedience.  Commentary was made in regards to Satan’s control of governments and how they would be used for his purposes but in the end, it is God who punishes them with the botch of Egypt and other diseases when the seventh angel pours out the seventh vial into the air (which is direct correlation to the Prince of the power of the air).  The scripture reading was from Ephesians 2:1-7 KJV

“1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; 2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others. 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) 6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus: 7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
