Discover how demonic forces unite the kings of the world for the “Battle of the Great Day of God Almighty,” and why Jesus warns, “Behold, I come as a thief.” Learn what it means to watch, stay spiritually alert, and be clothed in righteousness as world powers converge toward the final conflict before Christ’s return.

46 - Revelation 15 & 16: Armageddon, Plagues and God’s Final Judgment | World News & Prophecy

By Mr. Darris McNeely

Revelation 15 and 16 reveals the final outpouring of God’s wrath—the seven last plagues that complete His judgment on a rebellious world. Join us as we explore the sea of glass, the Song of the Lamb and the coming battle of Armageddon that prepares the way for Christ’s return.

In this session of the World News and Prophecy class, we explore how Revelation 15 and 16 ushers us back into the story flow with the seven last plagues—the completion of God’s wrath. We glimpse the sea of glass, the Song of Moses and the Lamb, and saints who overcame the beast. Then the bowls are poured: grievous sores, sea and rivers like blood, scorching sun, darkness on the beast’s throne, Euphrates dried to gather kings, and a quake with hail. We unpack why these judgments fall on Babylon’s system, what “Armageddon” is, and Christ’s call to watch and keep our garments.

Revelation 14 reveals the Lamb standing on Mount Zion with 144,000 faithful followers and angels declaring powerful end-time messages. Discover how this chapter contrasts Babylon’s fall with God’s everlasting gospel and the coming harvest of the earth.

In this session of the World News and Prophecy class, we explore the following in Revelation 14: the Lamb on Mount Zion, the 144,000 sealed with the Father’s name, and three angelic messages that thunder across the earth. We contrast Babylon’s fall with God’s everlasting gospel, unpack the warning against worshiping the beast and receiving his mark, and clarify what Scripture means by wrath, smoke, harvest, and the numberless sickle of judgment. Finally, we explore the end-time harvest—wheat and tares—and the hope of the firstfruits at Christ’s return.

44 – Revelation 13: Understand 666 and the Mark of the Beast | World News & Prophecy

By Mr. Darris McNeely

What is the real meaning behind the mark of the beast and the number 666? Discover how Revelation 13 connects ancient Rome, church history, and modern control to reveal a powerful lesson about allegiance, obedience, and faith in the end time.

In this session of the World News and Prophecy class, we examine the closing verses on the “mark of the beast.” We review the two beasts—the political power from the sea and the religious power from the earth—and how the second gives life to the image, enforces worship, and restricts buying and selling. We trace persecution through history (post-Nicene councils, inquisitions) and compare Scripture with tradition to understand marks on the hand and forehead, allegiance, and obedience. Then we tackle 666—“the number of a man”—and how believers should live with wisdom today.

43 – Revelation 13: The Rise of a Religious Power | World News & Prophecy

By Mr. Darris McNeely

Revelation 13’s second beast rises—religious power joining political might to shape history and deceive the world. Discover how church and state merged after Rome’s fall and how this “image of the beast” prepares the way for end-time prophecy.

In this session of the World News and Prophecy class, we move from the first beast to the second—a religious power that speaks like a dragon, works signs, and drives worship of the revived Roman system. We revisit Justinian’s “healing,” the church–state model (the image of the beast), and post-Nicene developments shaping Europe. From councils and canons to Leo I and Attila, we trace how miracle, authority, and law intertwined—and why it matters to believers. This lesson sets the stage for our next class on Mark of the Beast.

42 - Revelation 13: The Two Beasts and the Rise of a Final Empire | World News & Prophecy

By Mr. Darris McNeely

Revelation 13 reveals two powerful beasts—symbols of political and religious systems driven by Satan’s influence throughout history. Trace their rise from ancient Rome to the modern world and uncover what prophecy says about the final revival still to come.

In this session of the World News and Prophecy class, we explore the two beasts from Revelation—the political power from the sea and the religious power from the earth—and trace their roots through Daniel 7, Rome’s rise, the A.D. 476 fall, and Justinian’s revival. See how civil law, empire, and worship intertwine, why 42 months/1,260 years matters, and how history foreshadows a final resurgence. We contrast Roman civil law with English common law, examine Satan’s influence, and focus on the patience and faith of the saints. Join us for a Scripture-first deep dive into prophecy that equips believers to discern our times.

By Mr. Darris McNeely

Who is the woman, the dragon, and the child in Revelation 12? This powerful vision reveals Satan’s relentless war against God’s people—and the promise of God’s protection and ultimate victory through Christ.

This chapter uncovers the spiritual reality behind history, prophecy, and our present world, reminding us that victory comes through Christ, God’s commandments, and the testimony of Jesus.
