| Revelation 19 | The Coming of Christ | Rev. Dr. Don L. Davis | |
| | Season After Pentecost | |
| As idiotic and amazing as it may seem, the kings of the earth, under the influence of the beast and the false prophet, will gather their armies to make war against the One sitting on the horse and his army. Of all the certainties on which we can count, nothing is clearer than the fact that one day, the Lord Jesus Christ will return to earth and put down all the enemies of God, striking them with the rod of his mouth, and putting an end to all opposition and rebellion to the Father |

| Revelation 18 | The Judgment of Babylon | Rev. Dr. Don L. Davis | |
| | Season After Pentecost | |
| The Word of God is completely clear that God intends to make an end of war, death, and sin. This world cannot continue on forever; its demise is certain, and this ungodly system of greed, lust, and pride will be put down, with not even a sliver, a speck, a dot of its influence or effect left. The kingdom of this world will become the Kingdom of our God and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever. Come out from among the system, and touch nothing unclean, and escape the wrath to come. |

| Let God Arise! Prayer Guide - Spiritual Warfare Series, #11: In a fascinating and important book, St. Paul’s Cosmic War Myth: A Military Version of the Gospel, Peter W. Macky shows persuasively that the Hebrew tradition pictured and depicted God as the Man of war, the heavenly warrior who serves as the Champion of his people Israel. Taking on the foes of humankind, our God has opposed those powers that have plagued humankind from the tragic fall of the first human pair in the Garden. The Fall’s horrible Curse, with its ensuing effect of corruption and death, made its entrance into the domain of the earth through the voluntary rebellion of Adam and Eve, and the deceptive lies of the serpent, the devil. As a result of humankind’s disobedience and moral failure, all of the children of Adam experience the results of the Fall, including alienation from God, malice and division among one another, and ultimately, physical and spiritual death. |

| Revelation 16 | The Seven Bowls | Rev. Dr. Don L. Davis | |
| | God's Judgment | |
| As difficult it is for us to accept the biblical truth of God's matchless holiness, let us allow the clear visions of the Apocalypse to resuscitate in us a new vision of the Kingdom. As we confess each week in the recitation of the Nicene Creed, our Lord Jesus returns to earth to judge those who reject God |

| Let God Arise! Prayer Guide - Spiritual Warfare Series, #10: Our theme for this year is The Battle is the Lord’s, a part of a speech little boy David made to Goliath as the armies of God and the Philistines met each other on the day of battle (cf. 1 Sam. 17.45-47). Little David, one who is neither trained by the military or even invited to the fight, winds up the champion of Israel! On a simple errand to find out how his brothers were doing in the fight, David is catapulted to the very pinnacle of war–the representative champion of the armies of God. Truly, this story has been a wonderful and insightful backdrop to our themes, observances, and foci this year, not only in our Let God Arise! Series, but our ongoing community life as well. |

| Revelation 13 | The Two Beasts | Rev. Dr. Don L. Davis | |
| | Truth | |
| Nothing is more tragic or troubling than the very horrible tendency of fallen humankind to believe and entertain a lie. Unfortunately, every instance of accepting a lie makes believing others even easier to accept. Let us, therefore, during this Season after Pentecost, hold on to the truth as it is in Jesus Christ, holding to him by faith and contending for the faith once for all given to the saints. As children of Abraham, let us hold on to the hope of eternal life through the promise of Jesus Christ. |

| Revelation 11 | The Measuring of the Temple and the Two Witnesses | Rev. Dr. Don L. Davis | |
| | Kingdom of God | |
| During this Season after Pentecost, let us confess with the assurance of full hearts that soon the kingdom of this world will become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign forever and ever. Though the machinations of the infernal regions and blinded human structures pretend to rule, the Scriptures declare that in God |

| | Prayer | |
| Let God Arise! Prayer Guide - Spiritual Warfare Series, #9: This year, we are focusing on the nature of spiritual warfare: the battle belongs to the Lord, and he will fight and win his victories over his enemies. Amazingly, though, God does not use the same kind of weaponry or demeanor that we do as he fights to deliver his people and glorify his name. |

| Revelation 8 | The Seventh Seal and the Six Trumpets | Rev. Dr. Don L. Davis | |
| | God's Judgment | |
| The prospect of our God judging the earth for its rebellion and sin should produce fear and awe in us. Let our attitude be one of gratefulness and humility as we realize what our Lord Jesus did for us in conquering the powers that held us in bondage, for dying in our stead, bearing our punishment in his death on the tree, just to prove the Father |
