This (rather lengthy) series grew out of the previous study on the Shemitah and Blood Moon Tetrad. During one of our discussion times in class, one of the members asked, “If this stuff is possibly true, what should we do about it? How should we prepare?” And that question of how we could be ready for the possible return of Christ drove us to the Scripture to answer that question. There are five overarching questions that came out of trying to discover how to be ready.
- What are the signs of the end?
- How to be ready?
- What do you do when told to deny Christ?
- Should we be preppers?
- What should we do if our government tells us we can’t obey God?
Here are the (again, rather lengthy – 25 pages!) notes from the study, but be warned that even as lengthy as they are, there are many important things that do not come out clearly in the notes, but are clear in the audio recordings. So, please listen to them if you can. Especially if you’re trying to deal seriously with any of these very timely questions.
Also, as quickly becomes clear in the audio recordings, you will understand many of the references much better if you join us and read the book, Killing Christians, by Tom Doyle. This lesson series is in no way a book study, but that book certainly illuminates many of the topics we discuss and provides relevant background examples, and is otherwise a fantastic book every Christ-follower should read.
Further, the book, Do Love, by Andrew Rankin provides great background for the practical application of how we should be living in the light of the Scriptures we study here.

These notes and recordings are a series of studies presented by my wife, Trenna Bingham, in response to questions from class members about how we should view the popular books and articles related to the Shemitah and Blood Moon tetrad they are hearing about today. Like the previous series on the Jewish Feasts, the most important takeaway is to BE READY!!! I’ve included both her Keynote slide deck and a PDF of it for those who don’t have a Mac.

(8/14/15) Here is a new resource I created in preparation for teaching this content again in another setting. It is a timeline of the last eight seven year Shemitah cycles, along with the blood moons, jubilee years, and major economic and Israel-related events.

In addition, here are the audio podcasts of Trenna presenting the content to our Bible Study class. AAC format playable in most browsers, iTunes, and iDevices.
After listening to these again as I prepared them to post, I can only ask again that you listen.

This lesson is the final one for 2013, and one that I would normally teach on the first Sunday of a new year, but had to do early because of our church-wide study starting in January. It is my consistent encouragement at the beginning of a new year to do something. Leadership. Faith. Action. It builds on the lessons at the beginning of the year, and uses William Carey’s famous sermon as the background theme. At the end of the lesson I highlight three individuals who took action and are making a major difference in the lives of millions of people.
