31:05Vicki Sokolik refuses to be an Ostrich. Her son brought to her attention the crisis of unhoused youth — youth unhoused, not living with a parent/guardian, and not in foster care — in America, and she has been fighting to support this vulnerable population every since. Most active in Tampa Bay, Florida, Vicki is the founder and CEO of the nonprofit Starting Right, Now, which removes barriers for unaccompanied homeless youth to cultivate long-term well-being and self-sufficiency. She is also the author of the new book, “If You See Them: Young, Unhoused, and Alone in America.” Vicki Sokolik joined host Jay Ruderman to discuss the many ways unhoused youth fall through the cracks in our society, how her organization helps them, and also how to build trust with people who could use your help.

How will the Satanic trinity control the economy of the earth? 4.) What comes to mind when you think of the Mark of the Beast? 5.)The 144,000 show up at the end of the tribulation period. Why is this significant? 6.) What are the announcements that the angels make to the earth? 7.) Angels don’t preach now but they will in the tribulation. Are these angels literal? 8.) When does this happen? Matthew 24 14 And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations* will hear it; and then the end will come. 9.) How do you balance the command to go into all the world with knowing that the 144,000 and the angels will preach in the tribulation period? 10.) Who or what is Babylon?…

What would it be like for the whole world to be watching their death and resurrection live? What would be the reaction of the people who see it? 7.) The witnesses “tormented” the people who heard them but wouldn’t obey. Why is hearing the Word torment? 8.) What is standing out to you so far from your study of the Book of Revelation? 9.)

Small Group Questions: 1.) When you hear that over fifty per cent of the earth’s population will be killed, what is your response? 2.) The first four trumpets are judgments about the earth. What do the last three judgments deal with? 3.) The last three trumpets are the work of demons. Why would God use demons to carry out his will? 4.) John uses a lot of symbolism when he tries to explain what he is seeing in first century language. What are some examples of this? 5.) Even with the prophecy of the Book of Revelation, not everything is revealed. Why does God use mystery when dealing with mankind? 20 But the people who did not die in these plagues still refused to repent of their evil deeds and turn to God. They continued to worship demons and idols made of gold, silver, bronze, stone, and wood—idols that can neither see nor hear nor walk! 21 And they did not repent of their murders or their witchcraft or their sexual immorality or their thefts. 6.) Why are the people who experience these judgments for hard-hearted and still refuse to be repent and be forgiven? 7.) John mentions murder, witchcraft (literally sorcery from drug abuse), and sexual immorality (porneia). Why did he list these three areas? 8.) John ate the scroll (the book) and it was both bitter and sweet. How is God’s message both bitter and sweet at the same time? 9.) What is standing out most to you from the study of Revelation? 10.) What do you really want to learn and understand from your study?…

Small Group Questions: 1.) How should we as Christians think about and treat the earth? 2.) How do people worship creation instead of the creator (see Romans 1)? 3.) The first four trumpets are against nature and the final three are against mankind. Why do you think that is? 4.) A major asteroid is headed for earth in 2029 according to NASA. Do you think this is the fulfillment of Bible prophecy? Why or why not? 5.) What would be the impact of this level of destruction and terror on agriculture and on the people of the earth? 6.) Before the trumpets begin there is a half hour of silence in heaven. Why do you think that is? 7.) How bad does it have to get in order to shock heaven into silence? 8.) As you hear about the judgments of the tribulation, how does it affect your thinking and your motivation? 9.) Why do you think God is so specific about what is coming to those who reject Jesus as the Messiah? Action Item: Pick someone that is away from God and pray together as a group for them.…

Who are the 144,000 mentioned in Revelation 7:4-8? 5.) What is their role in the Tribulation Period? 6.) The fifth seal is martyrdom and persecution. What is the sixth seal? 7.)

Chapters 4 and 5 describe the Church in heaven before the judgment begins. What events take place with the Church during this time? 8.) What comes to mind when you think about rewards in heaven? 9.) Name three people you want to talk to at the marriage supper of the lamb. 9 And they sang a new song with these words: “You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals and open it. For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. 10 And you have caused them to become a Kingdom of priests for our God. And they will reign on the earth.” 10.) How will we reign on the earth as humans? What does that mean?…

Small group questions: 1.) Chapters 4 and 5 describe a worship service in heaven where all of creation is worshipping God. Describe it. 2.)What do the four creatures represent? 3.) What do the twenty-four elders represent? 4.) Pastor Terry said John is describing the Church in heaven in chapters 4 and 5. Do you agree? Why or why not? 5.) Describe what you think the “catching away” will be like. 6.) The Bible says there are three heavens. What are they? 7.) Paul and John went to the “third heaven”. This is also known as Paradise. What do you think it is like? 8.) In heaven Jesus will assess and reassign his people. We are rewarded according to our stewardship of our life on earth. This is not about salvation. What is the idea behind this judgment seat of Christ? 1 Corinthians 15: 51 But let me reveal to you a wonderful secret. We will not all die, but we will all be transformed! 52 It will happen in a moment, in the blink of an eye, when the last trumpet is blown. For when the trumpet sounds, those who have died will be raised to live forever. And we who are living will also be transformed. 53 For our dying bodies must be transformed into bodies that will never die; our mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies. 9.) What happens to a Christian when they die? Where are they now? 10.) They are alive but have not yet received a glorified body. When does that happen?…

Small group questions: 1.) What comes to mind when you think of Jesus as a “secret shopper” in a church? 2.) Jesus left all the churches with hope even if they were corrected. Do you agree? 3.) Every church in error had the opportunity to remember, repent, and return. How do you do that? 4.) What were some promises given to “overcomers”? 5.) What do you think being an overcomer consists of? 6.) Jesus told the persecuted church in Smyrna to be faithful unto death. That is quite a challenge. How is it possible for a believer to do that? 7.) Jesus corrected the church in Thyatira for tolerating false doctrine and false prophets. What is the difference between healthy toleration and compromise? 8.) The letters talk about the synagogues of Satan. Does that mean God has rejected all Jewish people? Romans 11:1-“ I ask, then, has God rejected his own people, the nation of Israel? Of course not! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham and a member of the tribe of Benjamin.” (see Isaiah 49:14-15) 9.) In order to understand Scripture, it is essential to see three categories of people: Gentiles, Jewish people who are not followers of Jesus, and the Church of God made up of believing Jews and Gentiles. 1 Corinthians 10:32- “ 32 Don’t give offense to Jews or Gentiles or the church of God. ” 10.) What would Jesus say to FCFC? What do you think he would say to you?…

Small Group Questions: 1. Chapter 17 was Babylon’s false religious system. Chapter 18 is Babylon’s economic system. What is Babylon? 2. Money is a tool and can be very helpful. As a Christian, when does it become dangerous? 3. Is it safe to say most world leaders are driven by greed and power? 4. In the big picture and the small picture of individual lives it looks like, he who dies with the most toys wins. Why? 5. How do you keep a balance on using money and not being greedy? 6. Paul told the Corinthians to have the right attitude about possessions: “those who buy something, as if it were not theirs to keep; 31 those who use the things of the world, as if not engrossed in them. For this world in its present form is passing away” (1 Corinthians 7). How do you use things without being engrossed in them? 7. Babylon stands for the religious, political, and economic system of the antichrist. How do you see this system present in our current situation? 8.

How do we do that and still live in this world?…

Why do you think they don’t? 6. Jesus died for the whole world, yet he created nations. How do we as believers balance those two things. 7. What is our role as citizens of America? What is our role as citizens of heaven? 8. God has given us history in advance and been amazingly accurate throughout many generations. We see in in the prophets of the Old Testament, Jesus in the New Testament, and here is Revelation. What is keeping people from seeing and believing it? 9. How do you judge a false religion? 10. What do you say to someone who says all roads lead to God?…

Small Group Questions: 1.) The judgments in Revelation are in three acts with and intermission in between. Act 1 is the seals, act 2 is the seals and act 3 is the bowls. What stands out to you in these judgments? 2.) Matthew 24 says that if God didn’t intervene that man would destroy himself. What does that say about mankind? 3.)

What things do you see happening now that seem to be leading to this new world order? 10.) Is it possible to explain this teaching to people who do not know Jesus? How can we teach this without making it too science fiction? (Some people are drawn to things like this and some are repelled.)
