Here is the second lesson of 20 that I am teaching RIGHT NOW.
If you are interested in understanding what is happening around us in the sometimes daily global disruptions we see on the news, why not take the course with these hundreds of students?
We will try to post each new class every other day or so as they get edited.
I hope this time in the Word of God blesses you as much as we have been blessed by the hundreds of primarily teenaged NextGeneration students we have been surrounded by in Florida and New York!
Here's today's class--In Revelation 1:9, John describes for us exactly what the Christian life is like. Flipsis, “tribulation.”
This is the word for being squashed.
He was doing what he was supposed to do, preaching the word of God like he was called to, and because of that, he was in trouble. Flipsis, squashed, can’t hold up the weight any longer.
John’s readers were going through the exact same thing.
They were meeting in secret to avoid being fed to lions. They were suffering for their faith.
They were constantly surrounded with so much immorality that they faced temptation just walking down the street. , and they, with us, and with John, need what God is about to unwrap for them.
When John uses the word “patience” in verse 9, he’s using the word for God telling us to hold on even when it hurts.
Paul described the Christian life as sumagonizumai, “with agony.”
Christians are, according to Paul, “with agonizers.”
We struggle together, we are squashed, and God calls us to hold on even when it hurts.
When God gave the book of Revelation to John, He was speaking to suffering people.
And when God comes to squashed, agonizing people who are barely holding on, we see His gift to us in one glorious moment, when God Himself rips away the wrapping paper and we get to see the real, present-day Jesus Christ.
The reality of our new life in Christ is that it is a struggle. When Paul wrote to Titus, he had already described himself as a fellow-struggler through this world (Romans 15:30; 1Timothy 6:12; 2 Timothy 4:7). Paul calls born-again believers under the guidance of the Spirit of God sunagonidzomai or in English “fellow-strugglers”.

Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for Him shall He appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

@ 6:06, the sad thing, after a few generations, the vast majority of us are going to be forgotten, unless we do a huge and famous, or infamous, thing to be remembered... Cure cancer, or invent something so great, for example, that it'll change mankind so much that it will forever change how people live, then maybe you'll be remembered... Otherwise, we will all be lost to earthly time. Only Jesus Christ will remember us, and that's most important.. God bless!

Luke 23:53-56 KJV And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. [54] And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. [55] And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. [56] And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment. Hebrews 8:10 KJV For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: This is the Church Christ started with the house of Israel ( Jews, the Disciples). Eph 2:12-14 the Gentiles were grated into the same Olive tree Rom 11 by faith in Christ. There were one, worshipped on the same day, the Lord's Day the Sabbath; Mark 2:27,28, Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath!

Revelation 12:17 KJV And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. Revelation 17:5 KJV And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. The final conflict will be between the Church! Who listen to God, who keep His Commandments ( Saturday) having the Faith of Jesus, calling men and women out of Babylon Rev 18:4, out of Popery, back to Historicism truth of Jesus Christ. Or those who will heap to themselves teachers having itching ears 2 Tim 4:3,4, 1 Tim 4:1,2, having their conscience seared with a hot iron till 7 last plagues destroy them all, listening to Dispensationalism falsehood!
