It draws heavily on the Old Testament, especially prophetic books like Daniel, Ezekiel, and Zechariah.References:https://www.lifeway.com/en/product/revelation-bible-study-book-with-video-access-P005840612https://www.crossway.org/books/blessed-tpb/Series:https://youtu.be/W_wotrLFSGQhttps://youtu.be/2uex5-UiQ3Ehttps://youtu.be/y47ukme_kDUhttps://youtu.be/1imfLJDJXGc

Aaron walks the class through a friendly practice question: “I know I still sin, but it’s not that bad. It’s not a big deal. When I die, I’ll say sorry to God and he’ll still let me go to Heaven.
