Revelation is a book of trumpets and battles led by an anointed leader that results in the collapse of the walls of an idolatrous city and the taking of a promised kingdom by God’s people after 40 years of wondering in rejection. Sound familiar? It should. There was quite the foreshadowing in the Old Testament with Joshua and Jericho. 40 years after the Messiah was crucified and took our sin for us, He would return in judgment just as He said, just when He said. Seven trumpets would sound and the walls of an idolatrous city would fall – just as predicted by all the Old Testament prophets – ushering in the fullness of the everlasting kingdom cut by no human hand … more powerful than every great empire that ever existed. Jesus is the cornerstone, the apostles are its foundation, the Lamb is its light, and Christ is its reigning King.

Thomas Jensen left 13 years of private school and daily Bible study at Temple Christian Academy as Valedictorian to attend Baptist Bible College before accepting a transfer scholarship to another Christian college - Harding University. After graduating summa cum laude as a member of the Alpha Chi National Honor Society, he founded a Christian-based natural health and fitness business. The success it achieved by helping people transform their physical lives has granted him the time to help people transform their spiritual lives as well. His interest in prophecy was sparked during a 7th-grade junior high Revelation class, and he has since been blessed to lead Bible studies at Temple Baptist Church, Prestonwood Baptist Church, Crosspoint Church, and other organizations. (Note: his views have continued to develop over 40 years with ever-deeper study of Scripture, and do not necessarily reflect the current views of those aforementioned organizations)
