This Leader's Guide book is for teachers, leaders, and facilitators of Bible studies using The End of the Beginning Bible Study. If you are a student, please purchase the book that says, "A Digging Deeper Bible Study." World events with the recent COVID-19 pandemic and other catastrophes signal that the end days, which are spoken of in Scripture as the "day of the Lord," are on our doorsteps. The Judge is standing at the door and He is ready to come and shake up this world and judge sin. Every Christian should know and understand what God is going to do in the last day. With this knowledge, we can better order our days and prepare ourselves and our loved ones for what God has intended for us in the future.The End of the Beginning Bible Study on the book of Revelation, Leaders Edition, is an in-depth Bible study designed to teach the Word of God in a clear, understandable way for both individual and group study. Each lesson consists of information and questions to be answered from the text, both essay and fill in the blank. These questions will direct the student into the text and lead them to compare Scripture to Scripture to better understand it. This edition gives direction and guidance for the leader or facilitator of a study and provides the answers to some of the questions. It is provided as a help and guide, to be used after the teacher has done his or her own study.I have included 4 chapters from the book of Daniel into this study because Daniel lays a foundation to understand the truths in the book of Revelation.The material in all of my Bible studies takes Scripture literally unless a passage clearly states it to be a figure of speech. I believe in a literal pre-tribulation rapture of the church, a literal 7-year Great Tribulation with a world dictator called the Antichrist, and a literal kingdom age where Christ will rule the world from Jerusalem for 1,000 years. The Bible must be taken literally to be understood as God meant it to be, and it must be studied diligently and correctly. In this study, we compare Scripture to Scripture, read the passage in its context, and discover the Greek meanings of the words used. You will be encouraged to memorize a verse or two of Scripture with each lesson. The book of Revelation is told from God's perspective. You will be caught up with John to the "third" heaven, and witness the incredible and awesome things God does in these last days. You will gain a better understanding of what will happen next, have hope and peace about God being in control of world events, and find joy in your daily walk as you grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My prayer is that this Bible study will lead to a deeper passion for God and for His Word, and that passion will motivate many to share with those who are lost the hope we have in Christ Jesus.
