Malayalam Sabbath School

Some details provided in God’s songbook can give us new ways to understand and appreciate our role in the final moments of earth’s history.

This week, we move further into the vision of the throne room and consider how the human race relates to a holy God and how the sacrifice of Christ restores us and brings us close to the throne.

This week we will look at some of the themes of sacrifice that inform our understanding of Jesus, the slain Lamb, the clear protagonist of the throne room scene.

We will continue looking at the problems caused by the Fall and the desire for human government as opposed to God’s governance. These truths are powerfully revealed in the book of Daniel.

One of the key issues in both Daniel and Revelation is worldly govern­ ment, a succession of human attempts to control a planet that rightfully belongs to God, who will—once this horrible episode of sin and rebellion is forever ended—ultimately rule in righteousness.

This week we will explore different ways the Word of God talks about marriages, good and bad. We can then draw lessons from these examples to understand better how God relates to His people.

Genesis lays out the path by which our world descended into sinful chaos. Nearly every key concept mentioned in Revelation appears in the opening chapters of the Bible.

For the first 18 centuries of Christian history, most Christians were comfortable with biblical prophecy, and there was a surprising level of agreement on what the key messages of the prophecies were. This is how God intended it to be.

God’s law is not a set of abstract principles but commands and instructions intended for our flourishing. God’s law is, in its totality, an expression of love as God Himself expresses it.

God loves justice. Accordingly, if we love God, we will love justice, as well. Likewise, if we love God, we will love one another.

Where is God when there is suffering? If God is good, why is there so much evil? The cosmic conflict sheds light on this crucial issue.

Behind the false “gods” of the nations, then, were actually demons in disguise. This means, then, that all of the texts of Scripture dealing with idolatry and the foreign gods are “cosmic conflict” texts.
