A BIBLE PROPHECY ADVENTURE

Seminars are very popular today. They give opportunity for the teacher

and students to exchange ideas. Friendships develop and the entire group

is stimulated by each other’s participation.

Revelation Seminars Are Exciting

This seminar is far more than the ordinary educational seminar. We shall

study Revelation, the last book of the Bible.

Revelation is a book of prophecy. It explains the past and reveals the

future. You will be amazed as our world’s exciting future opens. You will

actually see the future before it happens.

This mysterious book is written in prophetic language. Revelation uses

symbols to illustrate its meaning. Sometimes people find it hard to

understand. However, Revelation becomes easy when you discover the

“Golden Keys” that “unlock” the meaning of its prophetic symbols.

teach them.

___________ they might not __________________.”
