New 'LHM Men's NetWork' Bible Study to Probe the Netherworld
 This month the Bible's concluding book, Revelation, will be explored in the latest LHM Men's NetWork Bible study: Explaining All The Scary Stuff in Revelation. In this, the eighth Bible study from the Men's NetWork, the Rev. Dr. Ken Klaus, Speaker of The Lutheran Hour®, illuminates the confusing and the obscure in Scripture's magnificent final opus.
Surveying the history and root causes behind ancient Rome's homicidal persecution of the early Church, Pastor Klaus details the points of collision between these two entities and how early Christians naturally despaired of their situation. Klaus then gives the viewer rules for understanding and interpreting this book's distinctive writing form.
He explains how Revelation's use of numbers and fantastic symbols, monstrous creatures, and spiritual images are all part of John's secret code—and God's divine plan—to portray the religious and world leaders Satan was using in his battle against Christ and His Church. The use of coded or apocalyptic language kept Revelation's message safe for believers—and hid it from those who would undermine and attack the Church. The coded messages also pointed to Christ's victorious resurrection—comforting the victimized Christians and assuring them of present hope and future triumph in the face of what must have seemed insurmountable odds.
