While the evil earth dwellers mourn the loss of Babylon, they are aware that Yahweh is the One judging Babylon. In heaven, there is a different reaction—one of celebration for Yahweh has judged evil. We also see that Revelation’s description of Babylon’s destruction is not the first time God has described it. The prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah have also recorded prophecies of Babylon’s destruction at the end times. Then we see in heaven, the prelude to the second...2025-07-312h 50

The people throughout history have not been able to live by God’s righteous standards. History has proven that mankind has real problems with sin. If people had to depend on themselves to become righteous, then no would be able to reconcile with God and enjoy eternal life with Him. But Yahweh had a plan from the beginning. In the garden of Eden when mankind first rebelled, He had given the first pieces of information about His rescue plan. And over the course of hi...2025-07-251h 30
Interlocked[81] 50b; 51a - The Kingdom of Man DestroyedWe conclude Lesson 50 by examining the seven bowl judgments, the last of the Tribulation judgments. These seven are very similar to the plague judgments of the Exodus. There we saw Yahweh judging Egypt. Now we see God judging the rebellious world. When the bowl judgments are complete, a voice announces, “It is done!” This is in much the same way that Jesus at the cross announced, “It is finished!” God is the One doing the work of judging the rebellious earth, clearing it in preparation for the returning Kingdom of God. The book of Revelation describes how the rebellious people on earth...2025-07-242h 31

In the end, God used the nation of Assyria to exile the northern kingdom of Israel. Then about 200 years later, He directed the nation of Babylon to exile Judah. While in exile, Yahweh still encouraged His people to repent and be loyal to Him.

The first is the ultimate false christ, often known as the Antichrist. We will learn he is a Gentile whom Satan empowers with his power and authority. We see that both Daniel and John in Revelation describe the beast as a man as well as the kingdom he takes over, the final version of the pagan, rebellious kingdom of man. The Antichrist is aided by a second Satan-empowered beast (a second man) who is also known as the false prophet. This false prophet is...2025-07-172h 56

He rescued Israel out of Egypt, set them up as a nation, gave them His good law, entered into a contract with them and brought them to the land He had promised to give them. He set up Israel for success. But did the people succeed? Alas, no. Israel did not obey Yahweh completely and the people grew contented with their wealth and ended up abandoning God.

And we see that the “third woe” or seventh trumpet is the announcement of Christ’s second coming to judge the rebellious peoples of the world and then to establish His Kingdom. Then moving into Revelation 12, we see a very brief and symbolic summary of the history of Israel and her battle with Satan and also what happens to Israel during the time of the Tribulation. And finally, we see that Satan is at last cut off from heaven and can no longer go there. This angers...2025-07-102h 46

As the Creator-God of all people, He continues to hold all nations accountable to Him. Four hundred years earlier, when He was signing the Abrahamic Covenant, He told Abraham that He was giving the evil and aggressive Amorites 400 years of grace to repent of their wicked ways. But now, 400 years later, as Yahweh led the descendants of Abraham back towards the land that He had given them, He was going to use the nation of Israel, Abraham’s descendants, as His instrument of punishment on t...2025-07-041h 37

We also discuss the prophecy given to Ezekiel about Gog and Magog and the battle they lead against Israel, and we look at possible timings for this event. Thereafter, we continue with Lesson 49 and see how the seventh seal unleashes the seven trumpet judgments. These next set of judgments are far worse that the seal judgments.

Or how would anyone know if God kept His side of the contract to bless them for obedience and punish them for disobedience? In this lesson, we will see that Yahweh put in place “lawyers” or “prosecuting attorneys” for His contract. These “lawyers” were the prophets. The prophets had three roles: they were Yahweh’s lawyers, historians and Scripture writers. God gave the people two tests to properly identify and authenticate His appointed prophets.

In particular, we will learn how God defines justice. To God, justice is about restitution, that is, to fix a situation so that whatever is damaged or stolen is restored. Through the law, we learn just how serious mankind’s rebellion against Yahweh was. We see the damage to Yahweh’s relationship with mankind and the damage to God’s creation.

He selects one of the Israelites, a man named Moses, to lead the people out. But the Pharaoh of Egypt refuses to comply. He doesn’t acknowledge that the God of his slaves is worthy of his attention.

The main aspect of this warfare is a battle of the mind—a battle of worldviews, philosophies and ideas. Then we go on to examine how the church will be removed and protected from the time of Israel’s Tribulation.

Scripture describes death in three aspects: death of mankind’s friendship with Yahweh, death of mankind’s physical body and the eternal separation from God, which is called the “second death”.

Jesus accomplished most of what He came to do. However, there was one task that He didn’t complete at His first coming: He didn’t restart the non-functioning Kingdom of God.

This isn’t true. In this lesson, we will look closely at how the Bible uses the word “saved”. And we will see that there are three separated but related aspects of salvation: justification (saved from the penalty of sin), sanctification (saved from the power of sin) and glorification (saved from the presence of sin).

We examine Scripture to see how mankind’s rebellion needs to be accounted for by eternal death. Because God is all-righteous, He requires rebellion to be dealt with, and at the same time, being all-loving, God does not want to see man separated from Him for eternity. And so the solution was the cross. Beginning in the garden of Eden, God began teaching mankind how He would resolve this problem with His salvation plan through His promised Saviour, the Messiah. We also will observe what He ta...2024-09-192h 03
Interlocked[48] 34b, 35a - Death of ChristWe continue with Lesson 34, looking at the life of Christ. We examine Scripture to see how Christ lived as a human, fully obedient to God. He cultivated a close relationship with the Father through prayer, applying Scripture and living under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. He modelled for us how to live as an obedient believer, using the resources all believers have access to. Then we finish the lesson by examining if it were possible for Jesus the man to sin. As God, there is no sin in Him. As a man, He had the free will to choose...2024-09-122h 33
Interlocked[47] 34a - Life of ChristWe begin this lesson by examining Old Testament Scriptures describing the plurality within Yahweh. Though Scripture says there is only one Creator-God, He is not a solitary God. Scripture reveals that there are three divine Persons within the single God. Then we focus on the second Person of God—God the Son. We examine Old Testament passages describing how He was active beginning at Creation and how He was the One interacting with people and with Israel. We note how He was addressed with Old Testament titles. We also examine why a triune God is so important. Then we begin to...2024-09-052h 46
Interlocked[46] 33b - Birth of ChristWe finish up Lesson 33 by discussing the significance of Christ’s virgin birth. Why did Christ need to be born in this manner? We’ll see that the answer lies in how Christ as a human had to be born without sin. We also explore why there are differences in the two genealogies of Christ as recorded in the gospels of Matthew and Luke, and we look back into the Old Testament to understand the significance of the two titles of Christ: Son of God and Son of Man.

Interlocked[45] 32b, 33a - Birth of ChristWe finish up Lesson 32 with the discussion: Is it true that people do not have any natural knowledge of God and are therefore ignorant about Him? Then at 1:02:02, Lesson 33 begins. We start by observing in Scripture how the Jews were expecting Yahweh Himself to reign as king over the earth and how they also expected God to send a perfect human leader to reign. The question was: how would this two events happen together? Yahweh surprised the Jews by combining God the King and the ideal human leader into one person: Jesus, the God-man.

In this lesson, we look at what the Roman Empire was like before examine why the Scriptures say Jesus first went to the Jewish people. How did the leaders and religious leaders react to Him? How did the people react to Him? And how did His first disciples react to Him? We will examine what the Scriptures say.

Interlocked[43] 31 - Faith in Action III: Making Sense of the Situations in Our LivesNow that we’ve done the survey of key Old Testament events and drawn out the significant truths from them, we arrange them in a biblical framework. This forms the foundation of our worldview. We can now practise using the biblical framework to analyse and think through life situations that confront us. The class will work through several situations, helping each other gain God’s perspective on each situation.

Interlocked[42] 30b - The Jewish Expectation (II)We finish up our examination of the Hebrew Scriptures regarding what the Jews were expecting about the coming Kingdom. Though Yahweh wasn’t actively speaking to them through more prophets at this point in history, He had left them with Scripture that contained information about the future so they could have long-range hope and endure their tough situation. The Jews during this period provide a model for how we are to live. We conclude the session by examining how we should be reading Scripture. How does God communicate? How does He treat His words? How are we to read His Wo...2024-08-271h 53
Interlocked[41] 30a - The Jewish Expectation (II)We had examined the Hebrew Scriptures regarding the covenants with Israel and the Messiah, to see what the Jews were expecting from God at the close of the Old Testament. Now we take a look at what the Scriptures say about how God will use the future tribulation period of the Jewish people to bring them to national faith in Him. And we will also examine what the prophets said about the conditions of the coming Kingdom. What is the planet like—the environment, the plants and the animals? And what are the people of the Kingdom like? Access the no...2024-08-272h 35
Interlocked[40] 29b - The Jewish Expectation (I)We continue examining the Hebrew Scriptures to see what the Jews were expecting from God at the close of the Old Testament. We examine Yahweh’s promises to the Jewish people about the New Covenant, which He announced and promised but did not yet sign at the close of the Old Testament. We look closely at the package of promises: the Jews regathered into the land God had given them, changed hearts nationally, their sins forgiven nationally and they would become God’s loving and loyal people. And through them would come the worldwide blessing. We also look at God’s prom...2024-08-272h 55
Interlocked[39] 28c, 29a - The Jewish Expectation (I)We conclude Lesson 28 at 1:05:00, which includes a discussion on how we got the Bible. Then we move on to Lesson 29: The Jewish Expectation Part 1. At the end of the Old Testament, the Jews had experienced about 1,500 years of history with Yahweh. They had gone through times of great prosperity and peace as well as times of tremendous suffering and war. But what was on their minds? In the next two lessons, we examine the Old Testament Scriptures to find out what the Jews understood about God and what they were expecting Him to do based on the covenants He had...2024-08-272h 10
Interlocked[38] 28b - Partial Return of JudahWe continue with Lesson 28 and see how the Jewish people returned from exile. Yahweh was not done with them. He still had a programme for them and had covenantal promises to fulfil for them. We survey the events of returning, rebuilding the Temple, as well as rebuilding the walls and gates of Jerusalem and the restarting of life under Mosaic Law. This was the time when the Jews gathered all the Scripture they had and we examine the process of how God kept His Word accurate so that people in every generation would have access to His history and truth...2024-08-272h 17
Interlocked[37] 27b, 28a - Partial Return of JudahWe conclude Lesson 27 at 36:50 by examining how believing parents can prepare their children for living and thriving in non-biblical culture. Then we move on to Lesson 28 where we begin to examine the end of the exile. We start by looking at Daniel 9, how Daniel was reading from the prophet Jeremiah and he realised that Yahweh had said the exile would last 70 years. Those years were almost up but Daniel didn’t see national repentance from the Jews and he didn’t understand how the vision of Nebuchadnezzar’s statue fit with Jeremiah’s prophecy. So he prayed for God’s mercy and...2024-08-272h 15
Interlocked[36] 27a - Living as Believers in a Pagan CultureIn this lesson, we take a look at the lives of Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah. These Jewish teens were exiled to Babylon as part of Yahweh’s judgment on Judah. Though they had to undergo a Babylonian education and training programme and were inducted into service in the Babylonian government, these young men remained steadfast in their faith and loyalty to Yahweh. How did they thrive in a very anti-God, pagan environment? How they lived provides important lessons and principles that we can emulate.

Interlocked[35] 26b - Sent into ExileWe conclude Lesson 26 by looking at a different type of writing that Yahweh was giving the Jews during the period of the exile: apocalyptic writings. Through these special writings, God revealed a summary of the future, describing world affairs that will happen. We’ll examine the features of real, biblical apocalyptic writings and how these writings are different from what the prophets usually wrote about. These apocalyptic writings were to give the people long-range hope and the understanding that God was still at work in the world even though He was lifting His hand of restrain on the Gentile nations of...2024-08-262h 07
Interlocked[34] 25b; 26a - Sent into ExileWe conclude Lesson 25 at 36:26. Then we continue with Lesson 26: Sent into Exile. Despite God’s faithful love and care for His people, both Israel and Judah rebelled and became paganised. So Yahweh started the fifth and final stage of discipline that He promised under the Sinaitic Covenant: exile. Also at this time, God handed political power of the world over to the Gentiles. He first exiled the northern kingdom of Israel to Assyria and then the southern kingdom of Judah to Babylon. Yahweh also gave the Babylonian king, Nebuchadnezzar, a vision of a statue of a man that represented five pa...2024-08-262h 03
Interlocked[33] 25a - Decline of the KingdomBecause King Solomon, the last king of the unified kingdom, rebelled against Yahweh, God tore the kingdom into two: the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. Both kingdoms were supposed to worship Yahweh as God. But instead, they had more bad than good kings in their history, leading both Israel and Judah to become paganised. Whether it was the common man or kings and leaders, the Bible records that most were rebellious towards God. So both kingdoms went into decline. During this period, God did not leave the people alone. God used prophets to speak to...2024-08-262h 18
Interlocked[32] 24b - The Kingdom DividedWe conclude Lesson 24, looking at how King Ahab changed the god of Israel from Yahweh to Baal. This was when God sent the prophets Elijah and Elisha to demonstrate to the people who the true Creator-God really is. We then take a look at a summary of the kings of Israel and Judah and draw several important sanctification lessons for ourselves.

Interlocked[31] 23b; 24a - The Kingdom DividedWe conclude Lesson 23 50:15 and go onto Lesson 24: The Kingdom Divided. During the time of the judges, as Israel settled into the Promised Land, the Bible records that as a nation, the people rebelled against God. Then during the period of the kings, the Bible shows that Israel’s leaders too, were overall rebellious towards Him. Because King Solomon, the last king of the unified kingdom, rebelled against Yahweh, God tore the kingdom into two: the northern kingdom of Israel and the southern kingdom of Judah. Both kingdoms were supposed to worship Yahweh as God. But instead, they had more bad th...2024-08-263h 04
Interlocked[30] 23a - King SolomonSaul, the first human king of Israel, rejected God’s rules and lived selfishly based on his own ambitions. David, the second king, was upheld by God as a model king because he followed God with his whole heart, and was teachable and repentant when he sinned. God made Solomon, the third king, the wisest man on earth. His reign was the golden era for Israel. However, Solomon did not obey God fully. Against God’s law for kings, Solomon had 1,000 women and many of them were pagans. It was through trying to please his pagan wives that Solomon led Isra...2024-08-262h 53
Interlocked[29] 22 - King DavidAfter the period of the conquest, the Israelites settled in the Promised Land, but they stopped following God. The book of Judges ended by saying that everyone “did whatever seemed right in their own eyes”. God’s own people, the Israelites, were living in sin, just like the surrounding nations. They rejected God as their King, asking instead for a human king. God allowed them to have one, but not before the prophet Samuel warned them that human kings would make their lives miserable. But they didn’t listen. The first king, Saul, was not a good king. His own ambition...2024-08-262h 23
Interlocked[28] 21 - Kings for IsraelAfter Israel’s conquest period, the final judge to lead Israel was the prophet Samuel. At that time, the people demanded to have a human king, just like the nations around them. They no longer wanted God as their divine King. Yahweh agreed to this evil request, but under His terms. The human king must be chosen by Him and come under His authority. The king was not to be the ultimate authority. God chose Saul as the first king but his heart was disobedient. He treated himself as the ultimate authority, the very thing God warned kings against. His re...2024-08-262h 37

The review helps to build out the biblical framework that will help them understand and analyse life. When the troubles of life overwhelm us, or when a complex issue confuses us, our first response should be to ask: “Where in God’s Word can I look to for the biblical perspective on this question?” As the class tackles a series of tough questions using the biblical framework of truth, they find good answers that settle their hearts, thus giving themse...2024-08-262h 03
Interlocked[26] 19b - Understanding SufferingWe conclude the lesson on why believers and unbelievers suffer. We explore more of the Bible’s reasons for suffering: to push our spiritual growth, to help unbelievers come to faith, to encourage spiritual growth in other believers, and as a consequence of things happening in the angelic realm. For unbelievers, suffering could also be God’s wake-up call for them. Access the notes at: https://interlocked.online/s/19-Understanding-Suffering.pdf2024-08-262h 08
Interlocked[25] 19a - Understanding SufferingAt our present time, before God gets rid of all evil in the world and in believers, He
knows that even those who love Him would have to live with tragedy, pain and sorrow. But because He loves us and cares for every detail of our lives, God taught us how we are supposed to cope with suffering today.

Interlocked[24] 18b - Spiritual War Within OurselvesWe conclude the lesson on sanctification by discussing the question: how does God sanctify us or grow us spiritually? And what does the sanctification journey look like in our lives? Isn’t the aim of sanctification to live a moral life, have wonderful spiritual experiences, a good reputation or achieve great self-improvement? And also, are there secrets and “surefire methods” to spiritual growth? Access the notes at: https://interlocked.online/s/18-Holy-War-Within-Ourselves.pdf2024-08-262h 27
Interlocked[23] 18a - Spiritual War Within OurselvesThrough the period of the conquest and settlement, Yahweh showed that because He is all-holy, He detests the sin and evil in the world and will eliminate it forever. However, He also detests the sin and evil within believers and wants to eliminate those things. He intends for believers to become holy and reflect His righteous character. So God calls all believers to wage “holy war” within ourselves. What does this mean? Just as Yahweh commanded the Israelites to get rid of evil in the Promised Land, He commands us as believers to get rid of sin within ourselves. And just...2024-08-263h 17
Interlocked[22] 17b - Building Spiritual Life in the IsraelitesWe continue with Lesson 17, examining two final incidents during the conquest period: the supernatural longest day at Aijalon (Joshua 9–10), and God’s sentence of the postponed Kingdom at Bochim (Judges 2:1–5). We will reflect on the sanctification lessons God was teaching Israel and also us.

During the time of the desert wandering and the period of the conquest, God focused on teaching Israel how to trust in Him and how to have a spiritual life. How did God do this? Most people do not learn just by being told what is right and wrong. Most people learn through experience when they are faced with real-life choices. God taught His son, Israel, lessons on spiritual life through the many different situations that Israel encountered. We will examine seven events of the...2024-08-261h 59

Many believers stumble over God’s commands to Israel to completely wipe out the people from the land. They misunderstand God and think it cruel or even evil of Him. Why did God call for this? This lesson delves into God’s character—how His all-righteous character demands that justice be satisfied; that rebellious, evil people who have sinned beyond the limits of His grace need to be dealt with.

He revealed Himself in a visible and audible way, and He spoke to the nation of Israel as a whole first, and then to Moses personally. Moses recorded God’s words for the people. Through this event, we learn about revelation, inspiration and the canon of God's Word. We also learn what a prophet is and God has two tests to prove the authenticity of prophets.

Although they were saved from famine and were kept culturally intact by forced segregation, the Egyptians enslaved them. So Yahweh, acting on His covenant with Abraham, sent Moses to lead the people out. God made this happen through a series of ten judgment plagues that became part of the Exodus event.

Instead of sharing about Himself directly with everyone, He disrupted world history to work with Abraham and his family. God planned to use Abraham and his descendants to record Scripture and then return as missionaries to the pagan world. So God called Abraham out of his pagan culture and made a covenant with him.

God sealed them in the ark and kept them safe. After the flood waters subsided, they were the only people left on earth. God would start again with them on an earth that was distinctly different now.

We will see that the first humans’ rebellious decision had massive consequences. There is now death and sin damage. We will explore what death is according to the Scriptures. And we will explore the sin damage on mankind: physically, spiritually, mentally and socially. There is also damage to creation and also to the divine institutions. This is part 1 of the lesson.
