启示录的卷轴和骑士
By Al Danks上帝给了耶稣一个启示，让他的仆人看到必须实现的事情。在这个启示中，我们看到一个卷轴，里面和外面都写着，用七个封印封住。当前四个封印被打开时，我们看到一个骑士。这卷书是什么？骑士是谁，或什么？我们如何辨别他们是什么或谁？我们如何知道我们的辨别是正确的？许多人都试图辨别这卷轴和骑士。本书不会试图反驳他们的每一个鉴定，也不会讨论每一个可能的鉴定。我们的方法是表明这些证据符合一个卷轴和一组骑士的要求。如果这种方法是成功的，那么它将有效地排除所有其他卷轴和马夫。本书不会试图讨论第一个骑士的弓和第四个骑士的绿色，因为可用的信息太少，无法辨别它们。首先将利用有关卷轴的证据来确定卷轴的身份。然后用关于每个骑士的证据来识别每个骑士。关于正确辨别的问题将通过展示以下内容来回答 - 骑士是如何结合在一起的- 骑士们都很配合卷轴- 卷轴和骑士适合启示录，并向我们展示将要发生的事情。

为时代的终结做准备
By Al Danks上帝是国王、法官和天地的救赎者。作为国王，上帝的首要目标是他的王国的完全和永恒的统一。当他消灭了他的敌人：撒旦和所有与他结盟的人，他的国度的统一就会到来。在马太福音13:24-50中，耶稣说，与撒旦结盟的人将在我们所处的时代结束时被消灭。公义的人--他们是他们被要求成为的，做他们被要求做的--将进入下一个时代。不义的人--他们不是他们被要求成为的人，不做他们被要求做的事--将不会进入下一个时代。他们所走的路将以死亡告终。作为审判者，上帝必须做公正的事（创世纪18：25；彼得前书2：23）。在这个时代结束之前，神将测试我们，衡量我们的心，以确定我们是否是正义的。在时代的尽头，神将审判并决定谁可以进入他王国的千年时代，谁必须被毁灭。作为救赎者，他的目标是拯救尽可能多的人。在世界末日之前，神会警告我们末日即将来临，并呼吁我们准备。他的考验帮助我们准备，并作为征兆警告我们，我们正在接近时代的尽头。这些是我们可能在野兽、假先知等发生之前很久就看到的征兆，以便在这些事情发生时我们能够做好准备。- 为时代的终结做准备》将分享- 这个年龄将有一个结束 - 如何为年龄的终结做准备 - 我们要成为什么样的人，才能在这个年龄的尽头生存下去 - 我们需要做什么来度过这个年龄的末尾 - 如何成为我们所需的人 - 如何做我们被要求做的事 - 上帝将如何决定我们是否是所需的人- 这个时代结束的迹象
