Welcome to Studies with Stearman.

Join us as we look deeper into the Bible.

Strengthen your faith with us, even as we see the day approaching.

And now, here's Gary.

You mentioned Jesus, and even the rankest unbeliever thinks, Second Coming.

There's something about that.

The whole world is kind of based upon the idea that somebody is going to step out of the

heavens and fix things one of these days.

And of course the Islamics have their guy, the Imam Mahdi, who's going to

step out of the heavens and fix everything. And the Hindus have Vishnu, who is going to

incarnate in a particular way and fix things. Everybody's got somebody coming back to fix things.

And all of that, all of those ideas are rip-offs of the one true idea, which is the Second Coming

of Christ. And as I've studied the Second Coming of Christ to prepare for this morning,

it occurs to me that there's just a lot that we don't know about Second Coming of Christ,

a whole lot. You tend to think that

you understand it, and then you start to read the Bible. And as always happens, you start to learn

things you didn't know before you read the Bible. Let's look at Revelation 1911. And John, the writer of Revelation, is witnessing something really interesting.

He said, I saw heaven opened.

By the way, it begins with the conjunction, and I saw heaven open.

When I was in high school and college, teachers assiduously taught that it's poor style

to begin a sentence with and.

Just don't do it.
