Please join us for Revelation 1:1-9, and plan to follow in the months ahead for a verse-by-verse study of this companion book to Daniel. What is meant in verse one that these things must “shortly” take place? This has confused a lot of people, who interpret it to mean that the events of Revelation (or at least parts of it) took place back in the first century. But a dive into the original language reveals that it is actually two words, one meaning a “fixed position in time” and the other meaning “in haste”, so it could actually mean that these events will unfold rapidly when the appointed time arrives.

In this week’s journey on our way through the book of Revelation, we look at chapter 2:8–11, the letter to Smyrna. Smyrna is the persecuted church that remains faithful even in the face of death. Yeshua’s message to Smyrna is not only a word of encouragement—it’s a prophetic warning for believers in the last days who will face tribulation, imprisonment, and even martyrdom for their faith.
What does it mean to suffer for the name of Yeshua? What is the significance of the “ten days of tribulation”? And how can we prepare our hearts to be faithful, no matter the cost?
Learn how ancient Israel’s struggles with Baal worship and Jezebel’s deception parallel the church’s crisis today. Discover how the symbols of the sword, fornication, idols, and false prophets point to a deeper spiritual battle between truth and error. Are you holding fast to Yeshua’s name? Are you tolerating what He hates? Find out how you can be among the faithful who will be given authority over the nations and receive the Morning Star.
Recorded April 16, 2025 In this episode, as we continue looking at the 7 churches of Revelation, we examine the sobering message to Sardis, the church with a reputation for being alive but was spiritually dead, and the message to Philadelphia, the church of brotherly love. What can we learn today from these two churches? What does it mean to be of the synagogue of satan, those who say they are Jews but are not? Is this bloodline Jews, religious Jews, or someone else?
Recorded April 23, 2025 Yeshua’s Final Message to the Last Church—Will We Listen? In this compelling teaching, Tom Stapleton unpacks the sobering message to the church of Laodicea in Revelation 3:14–22—a message specifically for the final generation. This church is not accused of false doctrine or open sin, but something far more dangerous: spiritual complacency. Though claiming to be rich and in need of nothing, Laodicea is exposed as wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked. Discover how this message reveals the condition of the modern end-time church—and why Yeshua stands outside, knocking for entrance.
Recorded May 17, 2025 Heaven’s court will soon be in session, and the details of the final judgments are revealed in both Daniel and Revelation. In this week’s teaching, Tom Stapleton takes us deep into Revelation chapters 4 and 5, where John is shown a heavenly throne room scene that parallels the judgment scene of Daniel 7. These sister books reveal the same divine courtroom from different angles—both pointing to a pre-Second Coming judgment that determines who will be found worthy to open the scrolls. This is an upcoming judgment scene where the judging is primarily of Yeshua, who had stepped off His throne to be our Saviour, and also a determination of who will be saved (resurrected or alive) at the Second Coming. But who are the 24 elders seated around the throne? Scripture tells us they are redeemed from every tribe, tongue, and nation—likely the same group who rose with Yeshua at His resurrection (Matthew 27:52–53). Their presence in the judgment scene gives us assurance: our peers-—those who understand temptation, trial, and triumph-—are there to represent us.
