They give the key for several symbolic numbers, including many that you may not normally think we can understand. They explore the protection that is extended to those who make and keep covenants, but that this doesn't mean that they will avoid all pain or trials in the midst of the turmoil of the world. They talk about the symbolism of beasts, and the power of the world in our day, and the way to overcome it. They discuss symbols of Christ and and Satan and angels and worldly rulers. They discuss ways to be responsible and irresponsible in interpreting things in the Book of Revelation. They also talk about how we overcome the powers of Satan and the world through Christ.

In this shortcast, Kerry explores the interrelation between God’s love for us, our love for God, and the notion of being born again. He discusses the covenant connection with truly becoming God’s children, or children of Christ. He talks about how God’s love is manifest in covenant, in sending Christ to fulfill the covenant, and in changing us when we have made and kept covenant, and in the power of that change. That change really results in new beings, begotten by Christ. He touches on how this is tied up into thinking Celestial, becoming godly, and the glory that awaits us.
