Life Study of the Bible

What is the great sign of a universal woman bringing forth a man-child in Rev. 12:1-5? Who is this woman and man-child? Today’s programme reviews the different schools of thought concerning their identity. A solid understanding of both these figures and the practical application of how to be the man-child in our daily experience is clearly unfolded.

Lee provides a detailed sketch of the sequence of events that will take place in the last three and a half years of this age. He references “The Chart of Seventy Weeks and the Coming of Christ, with the Rapture of the Saints” provided in the Recovery Version of the New Testament. This chart is an immense help in studying the prophetic events included in Revelation and Daniel, and seeing how the raptures fit into the prophetical chronology.

Lee expounds the mysterious matter of Christ being the stone with seven eyes for God’s building. We will see how the stone with seven eyes in Zechariah is the Lamb of God in John, and ultimately the Lamb with seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God. How this connects to the golden lampstand and our practical experience of the seven lamps, seven eyes and seven Spirits is clearly presented. This is the last specially inserted programme as part of our mid-point review of key items in this book.

The greatest blessing and greatest promise from the Lord is not what He gives us outwardly but rather what He will make us inwardly. On today’s Life-study of Revelation, Witness Lee unfolds the promise to the overcomers in the church in Philadelphia that He would make them pillars in the temple of God (Rev. 3:12). The critical need to experience the transforming and building life of Christ makes this an invaluable programme to any believer seeking to be an overcomer.

Revelation is a book of signs and the sign of the golden lampstand is one of the key signs presented for our understanding (Rev. 1:1,20). Witness Lee explains the seed, development and harvest of this marvellous truth throughout the Bible. Crucially, he applies the particular aspects of the substance, form, expression and multiplication of the lampstand to our daily experience for the fulfilment of God’s purpose.

What is the difference between the rapture of the overcomers and the rapture of the majority of the believers? Witness Lee expounds this great matter, opening up the facts, the time, the place and the conditions related to these two raptures. Such a realisation should greatly affect our daily Christian life as we await His coming. The full archive of Life-studies on every book of the Bible is available at amanatrust.org.uk

Who are the first fruits mentioned in Rev. 14:1-5, that have been purchased from the earth before the great tribulation? Lee opens up the type seen in Leviticus 23:10 with its prophetical fulfilment in Revelation. The two aspects of the rapture are explained, as well as how we can practically apply this word to make ourselves rapture-ready. Join us for five specially inserted programmes as part of our mid-point review of crucial topics, before we continue with the second half of Revelation.

The sounding of the seventh trumpet with the proclamation that “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ”(Rev. 11:15) signals a major turn of events in universal history. Witness Lee expounds the significance of the seventh trumpet and the sequence of events that will transpire. The crucial governing factor of the temple of God with the ark (11:19) is also explained as a key to understanding the second section of the book of Revelation.

Moses and Elijah appeared when the Lord Jesus was being glorified before Peter, James and John in Matthew 17. These two representatives of the Old Testament dispensation of the law and the prophets appear again during the fearsome days of the great tribulation in Jerusalem. Join us for today’s Life-study of Revelation programme, where Witness Lee focuses on these two witnesses and the events of the great tribulation (Rev. 11:1-12).

When Christ comes to take possession of the earth at the end of this age, He will not do so as a lowly Lamb but rather as a roaring Lion! Today’s programme is on Rev. 10:1-11, which is an inserted section between the sixth and seventh trumpet. Witness Lee explains the hidden and secret aspect of His coming, and the meaning of the declaration that “the mystery of God is finished” (10:7).

Witness Lee opens up the sixth trumpet concerning the loosing of the four evil angels to further damage human beings during the great tribulation (Rev. 9:13-20). A clear and detailed exposition of this sequence of events is provided, including the two hundred million horsemen killing the third part of men and the war at Armageddon.

In this programme we look at the “great tribulation” presented in Rev. 8:13-9:11. Lee unfolds the prophecy of the seventy weeks in Daniel 9 and Matthew 24, to ascertain the beginning of the great tribulation. With the sounding of the fifth trumpet, Satan is cast down from heaven and collaborates with the beast coming up from the abyss to damage human beings. Positively, the promise to the church in Philadelphia to be kept out of “the hour of trial” (Rev. 3:10) is fellowshipped.

Today we come to the scene in heaven after the opening of the seventh seal, and the trumpeting of the first four trumpets (Rev. 8:1-12). We see how understanding the connection between the three sets of “seven” (seals, trumpets and bowls) greatly help us to understand the prophecies. Finally, Witness Lee explains how the seven trumpets are a direct answer to the prayer of the saints, illustrating a crucial principle - God does not act until His people co-operate with Him through their prayer.

The Lord’s worthiness to redeem mankind is sung in countless hymns - yet how many have praised the Lord for His worthiness to open the secret of God’s economy? Witness Lee opens up a view that goes far beyond the common understanding in light of the context of Revelation 5. He also expounds the vision concerning the Lamb having seven horns and seven eyes which are the seven Spirits of God (Rev. 5:6), and connects this to the central subject of the Bible – the building of God.

When the sixth seal is opened a range of supernatural calamities begin as an expression of God’s righteous judgement and a warning to those on the earth. This programme considers how God will preserve His chosen people Israel and His redeemed saints from suffering during the great tribulation. Witness Lee explains the crucial principle of the rapture – the condition required for being preserved through rapture.
