  • The Angel of the Abyss

    The Angel of the Abyss
    Jul 14 2022
    The first four angelic trumpets fly by pretty quick in Revelation, but things slow down when the fifth trumpet sounds. Suddenly there's an angel with a key to the Abyss and weird locusts and all kinds of things. Who's this angel? What are the locusts? In this episode we frame the angel as a bad guy, which is taken by many scholarly interpreters. In the next episode we'll address the possibility of it being a good guy.

  • Incense Prayers and Angel Priests

    Incense Prayers and Angel Priests
    Jun 9 2022
    Right after a half hour of silence and Heaven and right before we kick off the seven trumpets of Revelation, we come a cross a short narrative where an angel does the job of a priest and offers incense in Heaven as the prayers of the saints. How does this quick intermission bridge the gap between the seven scrolls and the seven trumpets? Join the conversation on our Discord: www.jxncloud.com/discord

  • Why Do Angels Answer their Own Questions?

    Why Do Angels Answer their Own Questions?
    May 16 2022
    There are moments throughout the Bible where angels ask prophets questions about their visions and then go on to answer their own questions. This seems like an odd motif to come across time and time again. Why does this happen? We address that question and more in today's episode of JXN Cloud.

  • Is the Rapture a Thing?

    Is the Rapture a Thing?
    May 1 2022
    When many people think about Revelation and the apocalypse, they think of the rapture. But strangely enough, there's nothing (at least explicit) about a rapture in the book of Revelation. Since we're currently doing a series on Revelation and we will not naturally get into this conversation based on what we read in Revelation, we've decided to handle it here after our episode called, "The Wrath of the Lamb" where the conversation came up. Join us as we dive into the intriguing passages that created this confusion. Join the conversation on our Discord: www.jxncloud.com/discord
