Revelation 2–3 [Session 10]

April 23, 2014 by Mark Trotter

Introduction To Church History

Our verse-by-verse study of the Book of Revelation has brought us to the 7 letters Jesus dictated to 7 churches in Asia minor in Revelation 2 and 3. These 7 letters actually provide an outline for understanding the last 19 centuries of Church History. In Pastor Mark’s opinion, these 2 chapters are the most critical chapters in the entire book for believers living in the last days to understand!

  1. Understanding history isn’t simply understanding WHAT, WHERE & WHEN events happened…but WHY & HOW they happened! #WordStrong
  2. Christianity today thinks it sees the spiritual lay of the land perfectly. Jesus, however, says we’re BLIND. (Rev. 3:17) #WordStrong
  3. Rather than “overcoming the wicked one,” most Christians doctrinally are an “accident waiting to happen.” #WordStrong
  4. Karl Marx said, “If you can separate people from their history, you can convince them of anything.” #WordStrong
  5. God is the God of history. It is actually the unfolding of “His Story.” #WordStrong
  6. God lets us know that He is going to reveal history to us before it happens! (Isa. 42:9; 46:9–10) #WordStrong
  7. In studying history, we must not LEAVE the BIBLE! It is our STANDARD for interpreting it. #WordStrong
  8. The devil keeps changing his clothes & his mask so we can’t find him in history. (Job 41:13-14) #WordStrong
  9. To know where you’re GOING you must know where you ARE. To know where you ARE you must know where you’ve BEEN. (Ecc. 3:15) #WordStrong
  10. The Book of Acts is God’s FLIGHT PLAN to let us know the course and direction church history is heading. #WordStrong
