Life Study of the Bible
Sundays at 3pm
The opening of the fifth seal unveils the prayer of the martyred saints underneath the altar to God.Today’s Life-study focuses on Rev. 6:10-17, and the continual martyrdom of faithful believers alongside the running of the four horses. Questions relating to where believers go after they die, and how the Lord answers the cry of the martyred saints are also fellowshipped in this programme.
Did you realise that the opening of the first four seals present a condensed view of world history over the last 2000 years? Witness Lee expounds the significance of this great four-horse race, involving a white, red, black and pale horse with its riders(Rev. 6:1-8). We will see how the white horse signifying the victorious gospel of Christ takes the lead, and conquers triumphantly over every opposition.

In Rev. 5:1-14, we see that Christ as the worthy Lion-Lamb is the only One qualified to open the scroll of God’s economy with the seven seals. Witness Lee unfolds how Christ is the lion to defeat God’s enemy, the lamb to accomplish redemption, and the stone to accomplish God’s eternal building, the New Jerusalem.
What is the great scene in heaven immediately after Christ ascended? Although all Christians know thatChrist ascended into heaven, few are familiar with this particular scene. Witness Lee opens up the significance of the mysterious signs in Rev. 4:1-11, where the throne as the centre of God’s governmental administration to fulfilHis eternal purpose is unveiled.

Join us for this week’s highlight programme, where Lee reviews the letter to the church in Laodicea signifying the degraded recovered church. Although proud in doctrinal knowledge the Lord rebukes this church for being spiritually poor in the riches of Christ. The spiritual significance of His counsel to buy gold, white garments, and eye-salve is expounded, and the critical, particular burden of the Lord concerning His need for over-comers.

Today on the Life-study of Revelation, we come to the church in Philadelphia signifying the church in recovery (Rev. 3:7-13). WitnessLee highlights the significance of this normal, healthy local church which keeps the Lord’s Word and does not deny His name. We will see that it is only through this church that the Lord can fulfil His eternal purpose to build His house and set up His kingdom in an unhindered way.
The outstanding characteristic of the reformed stage of the church is that it's dead and dying. The defilement of the garments mentioned in Sardis relates to the defilement of death, which is more offensive to God than the defilement of sin. Lee expounds the spiritual significance of Rev 3:1-6, & exhorts us to enjoy Christ to the uttermost today that we may be rewarded with the highest enjoyment of Christ during the millennial kingdom.

This program focuses on the apostate church in Rev. 2:18-29, who is rebuked for tolerating the evil womanJezebel. Witness Lee expounds the significance of the church in Thyatira by connecting her to the woman in Matt. 13:33 and the great harlot in Rev. 17. The dangerous principle of subtly adding leaven into the fine flour presents a serious, sober warning for all believers to guard against today.
When Satan failed to destroy the church through persecution he subtly changed his strategy. Lee details how the church became married to the world in the first part of the fourth century, requiring faithful ones like Antipas to stand against everything deviating from the testimony of Jesus. Positively, we see the wonderful promise to the over-comers of enjoying Christ as the hidden manna to be transformed into white stone for God’s building.

In today’s weekly highlight programme, Lee expounds the letter to the church in Smyrna - the church suffering under persecution (Rev. 2:8-11). We will see how believers are called to participate in the afflictions of Christ, and to experience His victorious resurrection life. The unique and specific promise to the overcoming believers - to not be hurt of the second death and to receive the crown of life as a reward are also explained.

Have you ever considered that the seven churches in Revelation 2 and 3 remarkably provide a prophetic history of the entire future of the church in seven stages? Lee explains the dual significance of these seven letters, and the first letter to the church in Ephesus (Rev. 2:1-7). The fading of the first love towards the Lord, the recovering of eating the tree of life and not losing the testimony are presented and applied to our daily living.
In Rev. 1:12-14 we see Christ as both the Son of God with His divinity and the Son of Man with His humanity to intimately take care of the churches. Listen to a marvellous programme on Christ as our precious and dear High Priest enlightening and infusing the churches to shine as His corporate testimony.
Today’s programme focuses on the significance of the seven golden lampstands in Revelation 1. The lampstand is a great symbol in the Bible, and intimately linked to God’s building. Witness Lee explains the progressive revelation of this symbol in Exodus 25, Zechariah 4 and consummately in Revelation, where the seven churches are described as seven lampstands.
