New Testament 2023 Newsletter #51
Revelation 6-14
They Overcame … by the Blood of the Lamb
(December 11-17)
 
 
A note from Emily & David
We love the book of Revelation.  Hopefully you have fallen in love with it as well!  Here are some of the conversations we will be having this week.  What happened in each of the seven seals, who will be able to stand?  What do Zerubbabel and Joshua have to do with the two prophets in Jerusalem?  What do you learn about restoration and gathering from this symbolism?  Where do you see the valley of decision battle raging today?  Have you taken His mark upon you?  This week we are studying Revelation 6-14.
 
  Here are the segments you can look forward to:
 
 
THE FOUR HORSEMEN
 
WHO
 
HOPE IN RESTORATION
 
THE WOMAN AND THE DRAGON
 
 
We are so excited to spend this year learning with you!
 
With love,
David and Grace!
 
THINGS YOU MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR!!!
 
HERE IS A LINK TO OUR COURSES, INCLUDING OUR SECOND COMING CLASS:
 
 
HERE IS A LINK TO OUR BOOK OF MORMON POSTER FOR NEXT YEAR.  IT WILL BE A YEAR OF GATHERING TENDER MERCIES.  WE CAN’T WAIT TO SURROUND OURSELVES WITH THE MERCIES OF THE LORD THIS YEAR. 
 

 
THE END OF THE NEW TESTAMENT MEANS IT IS TIME TO START ANTICIPATING THE BOOK OF MORMON.  WE HAVE PREPARED SEVERAL TOOLS FOR YOU TO HELP YOU DIG DEEP AND FALL IN LOVE WITH THE BOOK OF MORMON ALL OVER AGAIN.
 
And make sure you take a peek at our newest addition!  The Read it! Live it! Calendar.  Here’s why we love it…  We just wanted someone to make a schedule of the DAILY verses we needed to read if we want to finish the entire Book of Mormon by the end.  This calender does that!  Turn each page over each day to find a short list of verses that will keep you up to date on your daily reading.  BUT there is more!  We give you one verse to ponder and one thing you can DO to remember your reading for that day and make it part of your life.  READ IT!  LIVE IT!  It’s our new favorite addition to the family. 
 
 
THE APP… THE BEST WAY TO STUDY WITH US IF YOU ARE OFF SOCIAL MEDIA
 
You will notice some old favorites there, like the daily’s, the newsletter, and the video all in one location.  But there are other fun things coming…including a THIS WEEK section, and also weekly transcripts.

This Week's Printable
The Book of Revelation is a vision, so it is meant to be seen.  This worksheet will give you space to write or draw what you learn about each of these themes.
 
Teaching Tips for Kids
Take the time to draw the dragon and the beast and Babylon, then draw evidences of God, His Christ and His Kingdom.  Which one helps you feel peace?
 
Teaching Tips for teens
The valley of decision is a place that we refer to when we talk about prophecies of the last days, but we also make crucial and critical decisions every day.  These decisions will affect our spiritual journey in important ways.  Write what you learn about the valley of decision, how the battle was won, and what you learn about the dragon and the beast as opposed to the Christ and His kingdom.  How can that understanding strengthen your faith today?
 
Teaching tips for individuals and couples
Sometimes the book of Revelation shows us opposites in order to make the symbolism more clear.  As you fill out this worksheet this week look for what you learn about the dragon, the best and Babylon as opposed to evidence of God, His Christ and His Kingdom.
 
 
Don't Miss This in the New Testament
Come Follow Me 2023 Study Tools
Maybe you know this about us by now, but we are both visual, hands on learners.  Because of that, we are always trying to discover study tools that will help bring the scriptures to life in your home.  We will be using several different study tools this year, here is what we love most about each of them:

Videos:
For the New Testament we will be recording all new hour long videos, but this year they will be broken into ten minute segments in case you want to watch them for ten minutes every weekday, or you can watch them all at once.  These videos are totally free and can be found on YouTube or on our APP.

Journal:
The journals for the next four years have been totally redesigned with a theme in mind.  You will find questions to ponder daily that can be used for teaching or family discussions.  There are workbook pages based off of our most favorite part of each lesson that week.  You can also use these workbook pages for lessons or discussion.  There will also be a space for recording one name of Jesus Christ each week.

Devotional Book:
Perfect for a 5-10 minute lesson, these books can be used as a devotional every day.  This book is designed for personal study or family study.  We love to use ours around the dinner or breakfast table.

Word a Week Posters:
Perfect for a three minute study, these posters include one word and one verse a week for pondering.  Hang them somewhere in your home where they will be a daily reminder of Come, Follow Me.  This year we will be studying one name of Jesus Christ found in that week’s lesson.  By the end of the year we will have come up with 52 names.

Tip Ins:
These are small papers that can be glued right in your scriptures with tips and truths that will help to improve your study.

Stickers:
Use these colorful stickers in the margins of your Scriptures or in your Don’t Miss This Daily study journal.

Hopefully these tools will make your scripture study something you look forward to!
