Bible Encounter LIVE!

Bishop Steve Yates leads the first session of a Bible Encounter study on the Book of Revelation at Frontier Church, introducing key foundational concepts to the group. He explains that the word "revelation" comes from the Greek "apocalypsis," meaning something once veiled and now disclosed, and emphasizes that the book must be understood through a Judeo-Christian worldview to avoid reading modern assumptions into the text.

Walking through Revelation 1:1-8, he covers the chain of custody from God to Jesus to angels to John, the blessing promised to readers and hearers, Jesus's role as faithful witness and first begotten from the dead, the Nicene Creed's importance in affirming that Jesus was never created, and the truth that every eye will see Christ's return simultaneously.
