The End of the Age Study Guide

On the Mount of Olives, the disciples asked Jesus a question every reader of Revelation still asks: "What will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" They did not ask when the world would be destroyed. They asked about the end of the age.

Almost everything that goes wrong in reading prophecy goes wrong right there. We hear "the end" and picture a burning planet and the curtain falling on creation. Scripture tells a different story. This age ends. The world is renewed. And the covenant God made carries His people all the way through.

The End of the Age walks that story in twelve weeks and three parts.

Reading the End Rightly sets the foundation: the two ages, why the end runs on covenant and not on a calendar, the Bride as one people made from Judah, the scattered house of Israel, and believers from every nation, and why AD 70 was a type and a warning rather than the final fulfillment.

The Seals and the Age We Live In shows where we stand now. The four horsemen describe the weather of this whole age. The martyrs cry out beneath the altar. Then the sixth seal, the sealing of God's servants, and the Passover pattern: the Bride is kept through the storm, not snatched out of it.

Trumpets, Wrath, and the Wedding carries the reader through what is still to come: the sequence that cannot be rearranged, the woman and the dragon, the beast and the bowls, and the end of the dragon himself. It closes with Oath, Blood, Table, and Presence, the covenant pattern that reaches its fulfillment at the wedding supper of the Lamb.

Each week includes teaching and questions for personal or group study, with appendices and a glossary at the back.

The tomb is empty. The City is coming. This is not the end of the world.
