Panel discussion among the evangelists, scholars and pastors – the so what, how does prophecy grow my faith, is prophecy still valid for evangelism, how does it fit with coming close to Christ and following Him. Does preaching the beasts still win souls. How should we use Revelation 17 in evangelism. |

Sabbath 2.30-5pm |
Panel discussion on the areas of agreement / common understanding. Areas of disagreement. Areas that need further study, next steps for future study. Towards a common platform for understanding Revelation 17. What did we learn that we did not know before. Do we need to know everything about prophecy before Jesus comes back. What are some areas we still need to research? What are the biggest obstacles to us coming to consensus on our message? Q&A from the floor. |
