Christ is the person of God who intercedes for believers (and for those who will become believers) before the Father in heaven.  Here, in ten points, is a picture of His intercession.

1.  He is our High Priest.  God the Father appointed His Son as our High Priest.  As our High Priest His job now is to serve us and to be our representative before God the Father (Heb. 5:1).  Though He sits on the right hand of the Father in heaven (Heb. 8:1), He understands us and our weaknesses because He lived on this earth, had a body like ours, and was tempted like we are, yet without sin.  Hence, He is fully qualified to help us in all our weaknesses and temptations (Heb. 2:17-18; 4:15).

There are two questions that need answering here. First of all, what is this “star?” Well, there is no doubt that…

This blog is a segment of the book I am presently writing on the Tribulation. Today I will present an introduction to the seal judgments in four points.

There is a parallel prophecy of the seal judgments in Matthew 24:4-7. Take a look at this passage in Matthew and you will see four prophetic events: false Christs (verse 4-5), wars and rumors of war (verse 6-7a), famines (verse 7b), and earthquakes (verse 7).

Now open your bible to Revelation six, and you will see basically the same thing. In verse two we read of a white horse, and a rider who will be posing as Christ; but he will be the Antichrist. Then in verses three and four (the second seal) we see a red horse, which speaks of war. Thirdly, in verses five and six (the third seal) we see a black horse, signifying famine; and fourth, in verses…
