2: A Moment of Destiny – Teaching Plan

Key Thought: The three angels’ messages are Jesus’ final message of mercy, a call to trust Jesus’ righteousness to justify, sanctify, and glorify us.
April 8, 2023

1. Have a volunteer read Revelation 14:14.

1. Ask class members to share a short thought on what the most important point is in this passage.
2. What is the cloud of white, the Son of man, the golden crown, and the sharp sickle represent?
   (Note: Psalm 104:3, Psalm 68:17, 2 Timothy 4:8, Revelation 14:15-18.)
3. Personal Application: What event follows the three angel’s messages given by the remnant people of God? What does this tell you about the time and urgency of the message? Share your thoughts..
4. Case Study: One of your relatives states, “I thought Jesus comes secretly to snatch up His people. This looks like there is a slaughter when Jesus comes. What is this all about?” How would you respond to your relative?
   (Note: See 2 Peter 3:10-12, Jeremiah 4:23-28, Jeremiah 25:31-33.)

2. Have a volunteer read Daniel 7:9-14, Acts 1:9.

1. Ask class members to share a thought on what the most important point in this text is.
2. What does it mean that the ancient of days did sit?
3. Personal Application: What does in mean that the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven and came to the Ancient of days? Share your thoughts
   (Note: Verse 10 states the Judgment was set. Jesus identifies Himself with humanity to plead their cases as our attorney or advocate with the Father.)
4. Case Study: One of your friends states, “What do we know about judgment? I thought judgment was only for the non-Christians or the lost. Doesn’t the Bible say that Christians don’t face judgment?” How would you respond to your friend?
   (Note: See 2 Corinthians 5:10, Eccl. 12:13,14, Hebrews 9:27, I Peter 4:17)

3. Have a volunteer read Revelation 14:15, Mark 4:26-29.

2. What is the harvest? Who is involved in the harvest? When is the harvest?
3. Personal Application: How can we be ready every day for the second coming? What is the connection between justification and sanctification? Share your thoughts.
4. Case Study: One of your neighbors states: “Why does the “reaping” or the harvest seem to intermingle with the destruction of the wicked illustrated by rivers of blood? Did Jesus ever say anything or did the Bible say anything about the lost being destroyed at the second coming?” How would you respond to your relative?
   (Note: Matthew 13:29,30,38-40; Isaiah 66:15-17)

4. Have a volunteer read Revelation 14:17-20.

4. Case Study: Think of one person who needs to hear a message from this week’s lesson. Tell the class what you plan to do this week to share with them.

(Truth that is not lived, that is not imparted, loses its life-giving power, its healing virtue. Its blessings can be retained only as it is shared.”Ministry of Healing, p. 148).
