This is a PowerPoint presentation (created with LibreOffice Impress) that I made for my wife Tess to share at a local church.
It used to be by clicking on the image the next slide would appear, but now the slides are visible by scrolling. I don’t understand why. This is new for me.

Thank you James, I will share this. I am thrilled by your wife’s courage in showing this PowerPoint in church, and of course, you being right by her side!
And I think the answer to your question, not very many churches in America would allow this to happen. Perhaps things will begin to change now. Bravo to your pastor. God continue to bless your efforts.
This is excellent, James, and perhaps you will continue building upon the foundation. Are you planning to have this uploaded to any other sites, archive.org, or Bitchute, etc.?
No Ron, I didn’t intend to upload it anywhere else except to my website and a link to Facebook. You see it has a download link. You’re welcome to share it and upload it anywhere you like.
It’s Sunday afternoon now in the Philippines. My wife shared the PowerPoint at our church this morning and I was next to her to fill in some things. Because the church has a projector that showed the slides clearly, it went very well, praise God! I could tell the congregation was listening. It was probably new material for them. I don’t think the pastor ever taught them such things. But because he’s a humble servant of Christ, he welcomes us to teach it! How many churches in the USA would allow us to do that? Only our previous church in Guam, but not for the main message on a Sunday! Only maybe for Wednesday night Bible study.
James, it is a pleasure to watch the development of this project. This power point should be distributed as far and as widely as possible.
A note on the temple of God: there are two words for temple in the NT. One is hieron, meaning the whole temple edifice, and the other naos, an ancient Greek word, meaning the inner place where God dwells, In the Jewish temple it refers to the holy of holies and perhaps the holy place as well. After the book of Acts, hieron is only used once, where it refers to the temple of the OT order of priests. (1Cor. 9.11) All the other instances, in Paul and also the book of Revelation, of the word temple, are translations of naos.
As slide 19 makes clear, naos almost always refers to the individual Christian or the Christian church as a whole.
Good point, Ron! Thank you for sharing it.
I may add a little more to the PowerPoint today. It’s now early morning in the Philippines.
Your Power Point presentation, James, seems to be a good introductory explanation of the 3 views of Prophecy in a Basic Bible Class forum. The one slide (#13) is a tightly-knitted chart display of the Historicist time-line that may be a problem for some people to follow – charts and graphs can be a bit much to handle. But if all the students were given paper printouts of the slides as copies for them to follow along with the teacher’s discussion then I think that may help a lot. And then they can take the printouts home with them and review everything and make note of what is not quite clear.
It is a good idea using Power Point presentations for the Bible Class sessions!
Thank you Jackie, for your good comments! Maybe I can find a simpler chart for people to follow.
Jackie, I removed the timeline chart, added more slides and edited some of the slides. I may make yet more changes.
I think this is brilliant, James. Look forward to having a copy of this when complete!
You probably have caught and fixed slide 6, alone instead of along.
Also the 4th kind of interpretation of Revelation which treats the symbols as representations of political and social structures in general and how the church relates to them. Jacques Ellul’s commentary is an example, and I have seen others but can’t remember their names offhand. Probably not important, but someone might ask about this view.
Ron, thank you for pointing out my typo! I fixed it.
I will check out Jacques Ellul’s commentary. Thank you for sharing it.
