The Challenging Part

The most challenging requirement of this honor is probably this:

9. Do one of the following:

a. Briefly outline the historical Adventist understanding of the events that lead up to the dates for EITHER the beginning and end of the 2,300 day prophecy and the 70 weeks prophecy, OR the Kingdoms illustrated by the image of Daniel 2 and the Beasts of Daniel 7. You may use charts, graphs, and illustrations to demonstrate your learning.

b. Compare and contrast the six-seven parts of each of the letters to the seven churches of Revelation 1-3. Use a word or phrase to summarize each point. Highlight the portions of each message that you believe have relevance to the modern Christian church even today.

c. Compare Revelation 6 and 7 with the end-time sermon of Jesus reported in Matthew 24:3-31; Mark 13:3-27; and Luke 21:7-28. Underline all key words and ideas in common. Chart the parallels between the different passages. Afterwards, evaluate verbally or by writing why Revelation 6 and 7 are so important in understanding these other passages.

d. After reading Revelation 19-22 Outline with textual references the events surrounding Jesus' second coming, the millenium, the end of sin, and the new earth. Be sure to outline what is happening with Satan, the wicked, the righteous, and Jesus Christ. Evaluate the following questions: 1) Why can't hell be forever burning? 2) Why is eternal death/hell necessary? 3) What makes eternal life in heaven with Jesus "worth it all"? Write and answer at least three additional questions you had while studying this topic.

e. Learn more about the Bible’s teaching on last-day events before Jesus returns. With your group or leader, explore some key Bible passages—like Matthew 24, Daniel 2, 7, and 8, and Revelation 2–3 and 19–22. After reading and discussing them together, create something to help others understand what’s coming. You can make a timeline, comic strip, illustrated chart, short skit, or presentation.
