Announcements and Lesson

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Hi guys,

July 13th Lesson: What Will the Antichrist do?

Focal Passages: Revelation 13:1-10; 16-18

Background Passages: Revelation 13:1-14:13

Session Overview: Pop culture has greatly influenced our understanding of the end times. People are concerned about being “Left Behind,” they consider the possibility of an “Apocalypse Now,” and the name Damien is not as popular as it once was. There is perhaps no figure surrounded with more mystery or apprehension than the Antichrist, a shadowy world leader who, according to pop culture, is far too evil for heaven and maybe even so bad that hell doesn’t want him. People read through the following passages of Revelation with dread and morbid curiosity. The time is now to find out what the Bible really says so we can live confidently now - and when the time comes to move into the days that Revelation predicts.
