PROPHECY BOOTCAMP: Our topic for today is titled "The Winepress of the Wrath of God (Part 1)" from Dr. Ed Hindson's book "Revelation: Unlocking the Future."

Having identified the key players in the eschatological end game, John now reintroduces the drama itself in Revelation chapter 14. The everlasting gospel is proclaimed and the fall of "Babylon" is announced. The Son of man appears to judge the world and to tread the wine press of the wrath of God.

OCCUPY TILL I COME: We are continuing our journey through the book, "Coming Events and Present Duties," by J.C. Ryle. This section is titled, "Occupy Until I Come!"

If the Jew thought too exclusively of Christ reigning — has not the Gentile thought too exclusively of Christ suffering? If the Jew could see nothing in Old Testament prophecy but Christ's exaltation and final power — has not the Gentile often seen nothing but Christ's humiliation and the preaching of the Gospel? If the Jew dwelt too much on Christ's second advent — has not the Gentile dwelt too exclusively on the first? If the Jew ignored the cross — has not the Gentile ignored the crown?
